Publisher's summary

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.

Brian Sitts knocks it out of the park!

No way JP wrote any of this. It’s too good of a story. Kudos to Brian Sitts. Look forward to the next book.

Excellent Read

I enjoyed this book, it was very well written - given to me as a book, not a first choice! I’m used to the Women’s murder club! Also loved the 2 readers instead of just 1!

Male narrator was just no good

Male narrator took me out of the story a bit, he just was not good. Felt like he was trying too hard and doing too much and not enough at the same time. Also his voice did not translate well, I didn’t know if the doctor was supposed to be in his 30’s or 70’s. Just a poor choice of voice actor.
The female on the other hand i thought was a perfect choice.

He’s Back

I grew up reading Doc Savage and it was awesome after all these years to again be mesmerized by Doc Savage. The authors and performers stayed true to what I remembered.
