About this listen

 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.

Interesting to read about a nerdy university professor who is transformed into a Marvel hero. Their adventures leave you to want to continue reading to find out what comes next. Can’t wait to read Murder Island.

the storyline of the book was good but I found the male narrator a little draggy at times. Made Savage sound a bit winy. other then that, it was good overall.

a lot of unnecessary detail. If this were a hand held book there would be lots of skimming
