Customer Reviews

We found the WMD that wasnt in Iraq

Don't let the title fool you... this is not a mindless action paperback. The Destroyer series is a clever satire of pop culture & politics cleverly disguised as and action adventure book. Very timely given world events, the plot moves along smartly, and the dialogues between characters is laugh out loud funny. Great read: easy to pick up, light reading.

The Destroyer is back

I read about the first 140 or so titles, then quit. When I saw this I decided to see how it was. THIS is the Destroyer I got hooked on. The great stuff is back!

I can't recommend it enough

Another fantastic addition to The New Destroyer series. Mr.Murphy and Mr.Mullaney are writing at an incredible pace to bring us these wonderful tales of the reigning masters of sinanju. And yet the action, drama, story and laugh out loud humour (of which we have all come to expect) do not suffer in any way. And considering what some lesser authors have done to the original Destroyer series it is great to see it back on top where it rightfully belongs. Now if only Tor publications could get it into more bookshops a wider audience would be able to enjoy what is probably the best series of books ever written. Alan Newman Southampton, England.

CONSISTANTLY GOOD AND FUN!!!

The CURE Crew is BACK!!...Great to see more of Mark Howard...The series is going with all cyinders running...The usual great mix of Myth,Modern and Mayhem...Will Chiun EVER have a quiet day???...The Writers hit the delicate balance of Past and Present just right...Sinanju vs. The Jinn??? Obviously the writers were fans(?) of the WishMaster film series!!..Is there ANYONE/CREATURE of Myth they HAVEN'T encountered??? Great Book,Great Story,Great FUN!!!

Death is in the air

Remo battles terrorists who have a super bioweapon that may be more than Remo can deal with. In the meantime Chiun wants to take Remo and leave CURE and the US because of a mysterious supernatural figure who seems to be Death himself. This latest edition of The Destroyer is another great adventure from the minds and processors of Jim Mullaney and Warren Murphy. These two know Remo and Chiun better than anyone and it certainly shows in Dead Reckoning. The satirical treatment of the anti-war sector harkens back to the early days of The Destroyer. The no-holds-barred action of Remo against the terrorists makes you wish we had a Remo to send after them for real. And the Remo-Chiun relationship, the thing that makes The Destroyer better than any of the other so called "men's adventure" books, is better than ever. If you used to read The Destroyer but quit some time ago, you need to try again with this book. If you have never heard of Remo, then this is the book to read to get introduced. If you have always been a fan then you probably already have a copy, so go buy another one and give it somebody who needs a good read.
