The Perfect Assassin by James Patterson and Brian Sitts is a new take on an old character. "Professor Brandt Savage is content teaching his classes and ordering takeout. Until one day while walking home he is thrown in the back of a van and taken to a fortress-like apartment. His kidnapper is determined to turn him into a different man - pushing him past any limitations he thought he had. "Why" , he thinks. But his kidnapper has big plans for his new powers." It's always interesting to see a new story on an old character. Doc Savage was a superman-like hero since the 30's and 40's. I can still see those pulp-fiction paperbacks on my dad's bookshelves. Brandt is the grandson of Doc Savage. There's another connection - but no spoilers. Sitts and Patterson have written a fast-paced action thriller. Brandt and his kidnapper have some interesting interactions. And you can almost believe that someone could train to correct their vision (who wouldn't love that) and grow muscles tough enough to repel bullets. The final sequence is crazy. Fun,escapist novel from Patterson and Sitts.
