<p><b>At this school, the first lesson is survival.</b> <p>Dr Brandt Savage's plans for his sabbatical from the University of Chicago change drastically when he is enrolled in a school where he is the sole pupil. <p>His professor is relentless in her lessons. She's also his captor. <p>Savage is forced to undertake intense physical and mental training, with no idea why he was chosen or what is expected of him. <p>But as he learns more about his abductor, Savage discovers just how deeply entwined their lives are. And why, together, they must make a pledge: <p><b>Do right by all, and wrong to no one.</b><br>_____________________________ <p><b>Praise for James Patterson</b> <p><b>'The master storyteller of our times'</b> Hillary Rodham Clinton<br><b>'James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.'</b> Steve Berry<br><b>'No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent.' </b>Lee Child<br><b>'Nobody does it better.'</b> Jeffery Deaver<br><b>'James Patterson is The Boss.
