I just read an article about Russian scientists and their amazing advances in medical treatment. Here's the link. And I'm feeling now more than ever that the story in Killer Eyes is validated. Because in Killer Eyes, the prominent scientist working on the wonder drug Eternity is a Russian scientist. But he's not working with stem cells, like this article is about. He's a nuclear physicist and a specialist in nuclear medicine. Still, the fact that he's Russian gives my story in Killer Eyes even more authenticity than I already believed it had.
The first scientist introduced as early as the prologue in Killer of Killers was Samuel Bernstein. By the name one might conclude he was a Jewish scientist of, say, Eastern European, or perhaps even German descent. (Not unlike an Albert Einstein.) The next scientist who took over after Bernstein's demise in Killer of Killers was a nerdy WASP scientist named Jason Benson. Imagine the large spectacles, small framed body, and baggy clothes. But in Killer Eyes it's the Russian nuclear physicist named Vladimir Blitzkin who runs the show.
But Blitzkin is no weak looking nerd like Benson, nor is he an older type dude like Bernstein. He's a big, burly guy. Oh, there is another scientist in Killer Eyes who has a prominent role. That would be William Mann, who Trent seeks out because Dr. Mann was a former associate of Bernstein's.
And in case any readers of Killer of Killers are wondering, the two Chinese scientists, Doctors Wong and Lee are back, too. They were introduced in Killer of Killers and they appear in Killer Eyes as well. But it's kudos to the research and advances made by Russian scientists is why I made the latest and perhaps greatest scientist in my Killer Series a Russian. Hope you agree.
