Synopsis
A bungling terrorist group is making a mess in Europe. It’s up to Remo to track them down and clean them out before the brainless bombers strike their next target: a summit of world leaders!
As earthquakes rock the planet, Smith scrambles to find the cause, but only finds dead ends. While America’s favorite preacher Billy Walker and his sultry assistants plan for Armageddon, a mysterious malady could spell the end of days for Chiun!
Remo and an exotic foreign agent must learn how to keep their secrets separate from their business — and their business separate from pleasure — as they race against time. Chiun’s life is hanging by a thread, and every second that passes brings the world one step closer to extinction…
ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo's trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive.
The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer series has been praised by the LA Times as "flights of hilarious satire," and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.
