5.0 out of 5 stars It just doesn't get any better than this......, May 21, 2001

This review is from: Disloyal Opposition (Destroyer #123) (Destroyer Series) (Paperback)

Disloyal opposition is a fast-paced,unbelievably funny addition to the destroyer series. The political humor is second to NONE,and presents a delightful alternative to the liberal, politically correct sarcasm found in most popular fiction. The introduction of a heir/assistant for "Emperor Smith" is a interesting development that should serve to enrich future tales by providing a secondary plot. The dialogue from both Remo & Chiun is just hilarious. I can't wait to get the next book in this mini-series! Run,do not walk to get this one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disloyal Opposition-Destroyer Series No. 123, April 30, 2001

This review is from: Disloyal Opposition (Destroyer #123) (Destroyer Series) (Paperback)

For fans of the series, this seems to be a transitional book. By that I mean new ghost author Jim Mullaney is trying to advance the storyline by putting events into motion that will likely change the series. If you are not a fan of the series, go out and try it. The mixture of topical events and humor along with the action, has something for nearly everyone. Longtime fans will be somewhat surprised to see Remo's boss Smith begrudgingly accept an assistant. This is just one plotline that will change the series eventually.

The Positives: The author has either been a longtime fan himself,or has done his homework well. He brings up plot points that occurred many years,and many books ago. His attention to these details is very satisfying. The Negatives: just 2-The over-usage of pun-filled names runs thin. Remo seems to much more talkative than ever before,but the verbiage seems a bit contrived and over-used. Remo seemed to have far more dialogue than Chiun in this one.

Overall,though a must read for anyone with an interest in this series,both past and present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the next one!, June 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Disloyal Opposition (Destroyer #123) (Destroyer Series) (Paperback)

Satellites are being destroyed in their orbits, Huitzilopochtli worshippers in Barkley, CA. are trying to declare independence, Russian agents are working inside our borders. Do all these things tie together? Will Remo fine the common thread and stop it all before the world is destroyed? Sure he will, but it's still fun to find out how.

Great story that really sets up what should be an even better finish in the next book. All the thread that Mr. Mullaney is dangling out there are sure getting my interest peaked.
