When we last saw Patricia Wildman, daughter of Doc Wildman, the bronze champion of justice, six months had passed since the main events of The Evil in Pemberley House. She and her associate Parker, an ex-Scotland Yard Inspector, had set up Empire State Investigations at her Pemberley House estate—and she just received a mysterious phone call from her supposedly late father . . .
Several months later, Pat receives a visitor, a young girl named Emma Ponsonby, whose father, a British diplomat to a small Central American country, has been kidnapped by the Scarlet Jaguar. Pat, following in her father’s footsteps of righting wrongs and assisting those in need, agrees to help, but before they can set off on their quest the Scarlet Jaguar sends a gruesome warning.
Undeterred, the investigation takes Pat, Parker, and their young charge from Pemberley House in the Derbyshire countryside . . . To New York, where they battle agents of the Scarlet Jaguar and meet Pat’s old friend, the icy, pale-skinned beauty Helen Benson, who agrees to join them on their quest . . . To the small nation of Xibum, where the Scarlet Jaguar’s reign of uncanny assassinations threatens to expand to the rest of Central America—and beyond!
Now, it’s a race against time deep in the wilds of the Central American jungle, as Pat Wildman and her crew search for Emma’s father, and confront the Scarlet Jaguar’s weird power to eliminate his enemies from afar, marked only by a wisp of crimson smoke—smoke resembling nothing so much as the head of a blood-red screaming jaguar. But who—or what—is the Scarlet Jaguar? A power-mad dictator determined to reclaim power? A revolutionary movement bent on taking over the country, and the rest of Central America?
Or a front for something even more sinister . . .?
The Scarlet Jaguar The Memoirs of Pat Wildman Volume 2 edition by Win Scott Eckert Mark Sparacio Literature Fiction eBooks
This is the second book about Patricia Wildman (the first was 'The Evil in Pemberley House'). I enjoyed this one much more than the first book; Win Scott Eckert seems to have a better handle on the character and where he wants to go with her. Other reviewers have mentioned that this outing wasn't as sexually oriented as the first, but I still found it to have a pleasing undercurrent of sexual tension without being blatant. The Pat-Parker-Helen Benson triangle added some nice spice to the proceedings, and will hopefully be more fully explored in later stories. As far as the actual story, you could consider it a 'weaker version of Doc Savage adventures', but I found it to be a perfectly satisfying jungle adventure tale, featuring a lost civilization, a megalomaniac super-villain, a terrifying world-threatening super-science weapon, and a group of adventurers led by an extraordinary hero to oppose the threat... all the things that I used to look forward to when the new Doc Savage Bantam reprint paperback would arrive at the news stand back when I was a lad. Your enjoyment of this will probably depend on your background as well... if you are looking at this, you are probably already aware that Pat Wildman is Doc Wildman's daughter, and that Doc Wildman is the supposedly true life inspiration for the fictional Doc Savage, based on Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton Universe, a fascinating attempt to show relationships between popular characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, The Shadow and many others, as if they were real people. If the premise appeals to you, there is a lot to enjoy in reading these stories; there are tons and tons of references to everything from James Bond to Fu Manchu to The Man from UNCLE and much much more! In fact, there are so many call-outs and references that it is almost impossible to catch them all on one reading... which makes this a story that can be read multiple times and have something new to find with each reading. I think that this character will appeal most to people like me, who enjoyed the Doc Savage stories that included his cousin, Patricia Savage (I admit to having a teen-age crush on the character back in those simpler, more innocent times). It isn't Doc Savage (and isn't meant to be), but I enjoy the character and the concept immensely, and can't wait for the next adventure in what will hopefully be a long series.Product details

The Scarlet Jaguar The Memoirs of Pat Wildman Volume 2 edition by Win Scott Eckert Mark Sparacio Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Fast paced action adventure with no fluff. Pat Wildman is a wickedly cool hero. The plot is unpredictable with a creepy villain worthy of the pulp era this book harkens to. HIghly recommend this book for those who enjoy a good jungle adventure.
Interesting take on Doc's daughter. I'm going to start reading book one next (I know, I went out of order) which is co-authored by the great PJ Farmer. A suitable store for this type of adventure with a little sexual titillation absent from Doc's adventures.
The new era of the adventures novels is here.And that book is full of what please us in this kind of books.Patricia Wildman is the great-daughter of The greatest of the thieves and the daughter of one of the great adventurers.Criminals, heroes,lost tribe,weapon of great power,...all in a great novel with the flavour of yesteday and the more realistic take of today.Congratulations to W.S.Eckert.
The greatest enjoyment of this book will come from fans (believers?) of the Wold Newton Universe because this tale is firmly set in that crossover continuum. But those unfamiliar with Philip Jose Farmer's work can still appreciate this adventure because it riffs on popular adventures series like James Bond, Man From UNCLE, and, appropriately enough, Doc Savage. Eckert is one of the most readable of the WNU authors and his story-telling abilities are full display here. Recommended reading.
Not quite as much fun as the first installment. The sexual charge of the first Pat Wildman adventure is lacking this time around. Pat Wildman, Doc Savage's daughter is a phenomenally sexy woman.While I very much enjoyed this salute to Doc Savage, the Man From UNCLE ,and every James Bond baddy every committed to paper or celluloid, Pat stays essentially chaste throughout. She is thrown in with the woman with whom she had her first lesbian experience AND the man currently sharing her bed and it's a glorified camping trip! What this novel lacked was the simmering sexuality of Phillip Jose Farmer, Scot Eckert seems incapable of the same erotic edge that Farmer excelled at. Farmer was not shy about exposing his female or male protagonists. For example, when the baddies nab Pat and her cohorts they KNOW they are dealing with Doc Savage's daughter. Knowing the abilities and the secretive nature of one with Doc Savage's skills, wouldn't you strip search them after you capture them and examine every inch of their skin for signs of trickery? Had the bad guys done this, this novel would have had a very different ending. I hated the fact that I was yelling "bad guy 101" at the villains. Enemies that stupid DESERVE to lose. Don't get me wrong, this is a well written, fast paced novel that does a fair job of honoring, Phillip Jose Farmer's legacy. Eckert did a much better job,however, when he had Farmer's outline to work from, Here he flounders a bit, not enough to completely derail the novella but more than enough for you to miss Farmer's ability and sexiness. Recommended for readers of Pat's first adventure and fans of Lester Dent and James Bond. Others may have trouble making sense of the goings on. With the right erotic slant this could of been a novel not to miss. As it is, it's not bad, just a bit short of the mark.
