The Perfect Assassin: A Doc Savage Thriller

Professor Brandt Savage—grandson of the legendary action hero—is forced into a top-secret training program where he discovers his true calling ... as the perfect assassin in this thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author. Dr. Brandt Savage is on sabbatical from the University of Chicago.

She’s also his captor.    Savage emerges from their intensive training sessions physically and mentally transformed, but with no idea why he’s been chosen or how he’ll use his fearsome abilities. Then his first mission with Meed takes them back to her own training ground, where Savage learns how deeply entwined their two lives have been.  To prevent a new class of killers from escaping this harsh place where their ancestors first fought to make a better world, they must pledge anew: Do right to all, and wrong to no one.  Read more
