Heroic Measures is a captivating thriller that explores the potential of creating super soldiers and their transformative impact on modern warfare. Are superheroes limited to comic books and movies, or has our government discovered the secret to deploying them on the battlefield? And if so, who controls them, and for what purpose?
The book’s protagonist, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Englehart, a United States Air Force medical examiner, is a master in his field but struggles with following orders, driven by his own curiosities in his forensic mission. However, a troubling family history haunts him, influencing his behavior and reluctance to accept command positions. But when a Marine arrives on his autopsy table with brain implants that may allow for regenerative powers and superhuman strength and speed, Stephen strives to find out who is behind it all. When his efforts to find the truth results in murder and violence, Stephen is even more determined. Then when his Green Beret Major sister disappears, he fears that she may have been taken to get implanted as well.
Stephen uses his forensic skills as he is driven to uncover the truth and rescue his sister. But to do this, he must take unprecedented risks and trust no one. Along the way, he will find answers to his own family’s mysteries—answers that he may not be able to accept.
I highly recommend that you jump on the Bifrost Bridge and enjoy the exhilarating journey that Heroic Measures offers. Joel Shulkin has crafted a scintillating thriller that will keep you enthralled until the dynamic conclusion. It’s a book that even a superhero would love to read.
