More About This Book

Overview

A new thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Legacy

No fear. No conscience. No mistakes.

For over seventy years, Project Enduring Valor has sought the Holy Grail of combat medicine: a drug that would turn ordinary soldiers into ruthlessly efficient killers. Now, after decades of secret trial and error, Enduring Valor is ready to be implemented on a massive scale—despite devastating side-effects.

Neurosurgeon Bradford Stone is being hunted by the Project's director, a retired war hero turned presidential candidate. To get back his life and expose the truth, Stone must penetrate the very heart of the conspiracy before a sociopathic "killing machine" permanently damaged by the drug becomes President of the United States.

Perfect Killer is an engrossing and original thriller that probes the very nature of the human mind.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Not many thrillers end with a bibliography of several dozen actual nonfiction books, but Perdue's prodigious and intriguing new novel (after 2004's Slatewiper) has one-plus appendixes that are probably fiction because they include quotes from the novel's star players. Dr. Bradford Stone, "legendary Marine recon operative turned healer and scientist," makes it his business to find out who's behind a massive secret plan to turn the drug Xantaeus loose on a reduced but much more effective army in places like Iraq-especially after the love of his life, a black activist in the Mississippi Delta country, is killed by a female sniper involved in the conspiracy. Stone and the murdered activist's daughter are credible characters; the plot's premise stands up to scrutiny; and Perdue brings the Delta geography to vivid life. Even though the writing occasionally slips into some awkward phrasing ("Gabriel had paid scant attention and given no real thought to those critics, preferring to believe the day of the nondepleting neurotrop would never come"), this is an exciting novel. Agent, Natasha Kern. (Sept.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    Teriffic thriller

    In Mississippi neurosurgeon Dr. Bradford Stone is stunned when an assassin kills Vanessa Thompson, the woman he has loved since they dated in high school. Unable to accept that her work as a former SEC chair or as an attorney would lead to a sniper killing her, and knowing what she said about a need to talk and also realizing someone wants him dead too, Brad flees. --- While on the run, the former marine recon officer Brad applies his military skills to learn about a seven decade old top secret military experiment Project Valor that would turn people into super killing soldiers and that his beloved was a victim of one of these chemically altered troops. Shocked, he discovers that the military is using the drug Xantaeus to geometrically increase the effectiveness of the war fighters while reducing costs Vanessa was murdered for what she knew. Brad also realizes he is on a hit list because he knows that the Pentagon is planning massive dosages of this combat chemical ignoring deadly psychopathic side effects and that one enhanced vet is running for the White House with a strong possibility of victory that candidate wants Brad dead now. --- PERFECT KILLER is a terrific thriller that feels as if the key ingredient, the military combat medicine experiments could happen. Adding to the feel of authenticity are a bibliography of real nonfiction books (supporting the overall premise) and four appendices that ¿substantiate¿ the medical experiments. Brad is a fabulous protagonist as he is on the run yet continues his efforts to learn the truth. Conspiratorial thriller fans will have a field day with Lewis Perdue¿s near perfect killer of a tale. --- Harriet Klausner
