Reviews
"A fascinating andterrifying peek into the devastating outcomes of antibiotic misuse -- and whathappens when standard health care falls short."-- Scientific American, "A riveting, pulse-pounding medical thriller that justhappens to be true. Steffanie Strathdee is expert at weaving science intocompulsively readable prose."-- Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of THE SHAPE OFNIGHT, "[A] gripping and intriguing medical thriller...Thispage-turner of a couple's determination to survive also serves as a direwarning regarding the consequences of the overuse of antibiotics."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "A real-life medical thriller...fast paced [and] the writing is always infused with humor,hope, and intelligence, and the couple's remarkable story is grounded in real-lifedetails that bring readers directly into their world. Dark, surreal poetic."-- Kirkus Reviews, "One of the singlemost compelling personal stories we've ever heard."-- Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting yourBook Published, "I simply could not put down the book. It reads like a fast-paced, detective thriller."-- Madhukar Pai, MD, PhD, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology & Global Health, McGill University, Montreal, "The story of a woman fighting for her husband's life is interesting in and of itself, but this book is so much more than that. It was written by a scientist who used her public health training to discover a solution to a problem; it just so happens that the solution she found may be an answer to one of the most urgent health problems in the world."-- American Journal of Public Health, " The Perfect Predator may be the best and most important book I've ever read... [A] personal and moving odyssey."-- Louis R. Franzini, The Florida-Times Union, "A thriller, a detective story, and at its core a profound romance, The Perfect Predato r is [a] breathtaking story.... It's a warning of the havoc that awaits us as antibiotics lose their power, and a glimpse of the science that could hold that dark future at bay - if we can summon the funding and the political will to create it."-- Maryn McKenna, Senior Fellow of the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University and author of Big Chicken and Superbug, "[A] riveting tale...The saga reads like athriller....Remarkable passages from Patterson [describe] how he interpretedevents through veils of feverish delirium, pain-killer fog, and coma."-- Laurie Garrett, The Lancet, "If you're looking for a gift for a young person currently considering a careerin science or medicine, this is the book to buy."-- AJTMH journal, "[Tom's case is a] case that may mark a turning point in medicine."-- American Association of Medical Colleges Newsletter

Synopsis
A "fascinating and terrifying" ( Scientific American ) memoir of one woman's extraordinary effort to save her husband's life-and the discovery of a forgotten cure that has the potential to save millions more. Epidemiologist Steffanie Strathdee and her husband, psychologist Tom Patterson, were vacationing in Egypt when Tom came down with a stomach bug. What at first seemed like a case of food poisoning quickly turned critical, and by the time Tom had been transferred via emergency medevac to the world-class medical center at UC San Diego, where both he and Steffanie worked, blood work revealed why modern medicine was failing: Tom was fighting one of the most dangerous, antibiotic- resistant bacteria in the world. Frantic, Steffanie combed through research old and new and came across phage therapy: the idea that the right virus, aka "the perfect predator," can kill even the most lethal bacteria. Phage treatment had fallen out of favor almost 100 years ago, after antibiotic use went mainstream. Now, with time running out, Steffanie appealed to phage researchers all over the world for help. She found allies at the FDA, researchers from Texas A&M, and a clandestine Navy biomedical center-and together they resurrected a forgotten cure. A nail-biting medical mystery, The Perfect Predator is a story of love and survival against all odds, and the (re)discovery of a powerful new weapon in the global superbug crisis., An electrifying memoir of one woman's extraordinary effort to save her husband's life-and the discovery of a forgotten cure that has the potential to save millions more.
