Love this. How does she keep these coming?
Cover was released and forget Cyberpunk, I think J.D. Robb might be going full on Michael Crichton on this volume. (RIP)
The cover is interesting because it sort of resembles Captain America’s shield. And the description gives nods to Frankenstein. Both of those are human experimentation stories. I love it when the In Death books go sci-fi (Conspiracy, Origin, Fantasy, etc.), it’s the life-long Trekkie in me, lol. This sounds like a fantastic story.
While I do see your point about Captain America and Frankenstein, I would also argue that J.D. Robb might be doing something similar to Michael Crichton's The Terminal Man.
The cover reminds me more of Captain America's shield than the Vitruvian Man on Crichton's cover. It will be interesting to see what Robb does.
Very well could be! Great book, btw. Love Chrichton (his Timeline is in my top ten reads of all-time). But the title, re: Perfect, makes it sound like someone is trying to create the perfect person, so that’s sorta what started the thought process I’ve been speculating on since the book was announced. But either way, be it shades of Shelley or Crichton, I’m so down for it and it sounds like it’s going to be a great adventure. I’m excited.
What Laura had to say about this title on fallintothestory.com is interesting…I’ll be honest guys: I know I said Fury in Death (Sept release) is a top fave, but Perfect is up there too. Can’t wait to discuss them both.
Sounds like we’re in for some truly superb stuff. 🎉
I love that we are having these discussions before the book is released. Suzanne Laura has dropped some hints on her posts lately. Can't wait.
Donald Quinland was a husband and father, a teacher and writer. Now, on a dark cobblestoned street where his naked, beheaded body has been discarded like trash, Lt. Eve Dallas wonders what happened during the nineteen hours since he went missing. Forensic evidence indicates that the killer had medical knowledge—could this be the result of illegal organ harvesting, or some sick experiment? Or does the atrocity of the crime suggest a personal vendetta?
After speaking with the grieving family, Eve and her partner visit Columbia and Barnard, where the late professor taught. In these Ivy League halls filled with sharp and occasionally devious minds, it isn’t so easy to get at the truth—and among Manhattan’s elite doctors and scientists, God complexes are an occupational hazard.
