520    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.       "A memoir that reads like a thriller." - New 
       York Times Book Review     "A fascinating and terrifying 
       peek into the devastating outcomes of antibiotic misuse  -
       and what happens when standard health care falls short."  
       -   Scientific American   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.
