The Mad Goblin
''The Mad Goblin'' is an American novel by Philip José Farmer. Originally released in 1970, it was one of two intertwining sequels to Farmer's previous ''A Feast Unknown'', along with ''Lord of the Trees''. ''The Mad Goblin'' features Doc Caliban, an analogue of Doc Savage, as the main character.
==Plot summary==
At the end of ''A Feast Unknown'', Caliban and Lord Grandrith (a thinly disguised Tarzan) cease fighting each other upon learning that their personal war and indeed their entire lives were engineered by the Nine, a megalomaniacal and powerful secret society. The two men have a sexual affliction in common; they are impotent except when performing acts of violence. This is caused by a serum that grants them eternal life—another product of the Nine. Angered by the ways they have been manipulated, the two heroes split up to overthrow the Nine, ultimately meeting up at the end. ''The Mad Goblin'' shows the story from Caliban's point of view. ''Lord of the Trees'' tells the same story from Lord Grandrith's viewpoint.
During the events of the book, Caliban (assisted by "Porky" Rivers and "Jocko" Simmons, analogues of "Ham" Brooks and "Monk" Mayfair from the Doc Savage stories) kills two members of the Nine, Jiinfan and Iwaldi. The oldest member of the Nine, XauXaz, had previously died of extreme age in ''A Feast Unknown.'' Grandrith kills one other, Mubaniga, in ''Lord of the Trees''. In the end, only five of the Nine remain alive.
