[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 2262056, member: 371"] The Devil's Black Rock A Doc Savage Adventure by Kenneth Robeson You better," Donkey Sam said grimly. The army man looked at Doc Savage.

Doc Savage agreed, "It would be bad stuff in the wrong hands -- an explosive so powerful that it does not even act like an explosive." "Harmless," Donkey Sam reminded, "until alcohol gets on it.
