Synopsis "The Perfect Assassin: A doc Savage Thriller (Doc Savage Thrillers) "

Prof. 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. Dr. Brandt Savage is on sabbatical from the University of Chicago. Instead of doing solo fieldwork in anthropology, the gawky, bespectacled PhD finds himself enrolled in a school where he is the sole pupil. His professor, "Meed," is demanding. 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, and 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.

James Brendan Patterson, nacido en 1947 en Newburgh, Nueva York, es uno de los autores más leídos y prolíficos del mundo contemporáneo. Su capacidad para combinar intriga, ritmo ágil y giros inesperados lo ha convertido en un fenómeno editorial sin precedentes, con cientos de millones de libros vendidos a nivel global. Reconocido con premios como el Edgar y la National Humanities Medal, ha logrado además un impacto social notable gracias a su compromiso con la promoción de la lectura, destinando parte de sus ganancias a programas educativos y bibliotecas.

Un ejemplo de su versatilidad es The Idaho Four, donde aborda un caso criminal real con una mirada narrativa que mezcla investigación periodística y tensión novelística. Patterson demuestra así que no solo domina la ficción con sagas como Alex Cross o Michael Bennett, sino que también sabe adentrarse en el terreno de la no ficción con la misma intensidad, atrapando al lector en escenarios tan inquietantes como reales.
