Description

Second in a series of novels based on the original comic strip sequences. Thrill to: A spaceship captured in a magnetic field and pulled beneath the earth into an underground city. Flash Gordon jumps to safety only to be caught in the web of a giant man-eating spider, then saved by a titian-haired beauty. Pan, a lunatic musician, seeks to rule a planet by the shattering effects of ultra-high frequency sound. Only Earth's greatest hero stands between him and success. Great Stuff!

This is the second in a series of 6 books published in the 70s based on a comic strip by Alex Raymond. The first one was a little more entertaining, and to be honest I don't think I'll be continuing with this series of books. The characters are too flat and unengaging and the storylines aren't much to write home about really. Certainly the first of these two was a little better than this one, but looking back I think it was more of a novelty read than anything.

A very average read that felt a little flat and uninspiring.
