..... Beginning in Cairo, Egypt, nearly a century in the past, a series of seemingly random events lead to danger and intrigue, as two generations of heroes race to stop a diabolical duo from unleashing a devastating wave of death and destruction.

..... Is there a dark alliance between the Victorian man-monster Edward Hyde and the insidious Asian devil-doctor Hunan Sun?

..... What is the deadly secret of the mysterious Chimera?

..... In this completely original action-packed story, four champions of justice, Doc Titan - The Ultimate Man, The Darkness - The Master of Shadows, Guardian - Steel and Ice Justice, and The Scorpion - The Deadliest Man Alive, race to unravel a century old mystery, and prevent the destruction of England and America, while the nations of the Earth teeter on the brink of another world war.

..... They were … PULP HEROES!!

..... Although Pulp Heroes - More Than Mortal, Pulp Heroes - The Khan Dynasty and Pulp Heroes - Sanctuary Falls are self-contained stories, painted in bold sweeping strokes, they also represent a massive three-part trilogy.

..... The Pulp Heroes saga is an epic adventure spanning two centuries in time and linking the incredible lives of history’s most popular Victorian Age adventurers of the 1800’s with the greatest action heroes of the Pulp Era and an assortment of well-known, real-life figures.

..... The Pulp Heroes series of novels are fast-paced chronicles about relationships between humorous and entertaining characters. It's a story about daring adventure. About fathers and sons. Unexpected storyline twists. Secrets revealed and more secrets exposed. The passing of the heroic baton. It’s about how everyone is linked in some way and how actions in the past affect the present. It’s not about their abilities that show who these heroes are; it’s about the choices they make. Above all, it's an action-packed thrill ride.

..... And, most importantly, it’s a story about great adventure heroes and heroines.

..... In addition to the 1930's pulp heroes, these stories also feature famous fictional characters from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly's Frankenstein, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger series, Chester Hawks' Captain Hazzard, J.H. Rosny’s Ironcastle, John W. Campbell’s Who Goes There?/Thing from Another World, H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Philip Wylie's Savage Gentleman and Gladiator, and many more.

..... This website offers detailed bibliographies about four of the most famous pulp heroes of the thirties and forties - Doc Titan, The Darkness, Guardian, and The Scorpion - along with their friends and agents.
