MY THOUGHTS:
Professor Brandt Savage, the great-grandson of the legendary Doc Savage, has adopted the moniker “Doc Savage.” Doc Savage, a fictional polymath or polyhistor, is renowned for his extensive knowledge across various fields. Although I had to resort to Google to grasp the concept of polymath and polyhistor, this search ultimately illuminated the connection between Doc’s new life and the skills he has acquired. The original Doc Savage was indeed a highly educated individual, possessing a broad range of knowledge and abilities.
These are the skills our present-day Doc has acquired. In this second installment of an exciting series, the book begins at breakneck speed as Doc and Kira Sunlight are forced to abruptly flee Chicago and find themselves in the middle of nowhere. Doc is not the only one with a past. Kira shares his history as the great-granddaughter of John Sunlight, the mortal adversary of the original Doc’s savage. Consequently, it’s understandable that Kira and Doc might be enemies. Initially, Doc’s teacher is now his lover, envisioning a long and fulfilling future with him.
Kira is aware that killers are hot on their trail, so the pursuit intensifies. This is the setting for an utterly thrilling book by James Patterson and Brian Sitts. The action never ceases, as danger relentlessly pursues Kira and Doc at every turn. Their current enemies are no mere coincidence of their shared pasts. Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Grand Central Publishing and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
