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.
