Book Description

July 1, 2002 Destroyer (Book 128)
HOW DOES A BEAT COP BECOME AMERICA'S SECRET WEAPON AGAINST EVIL?

It isn't easy. Especially after being nearly fried in the electric chair, plunged into a secret crime-fighting organization called CURE, then handed over to a Korean killing machine called Chiun, the reigning master of Sinanju.

But every prophecy -- even one that foretells Remo Williams's future with the ancient house of assassins -- has a downside, and for Chiun, it's an explosive family secret so devastating, it could spell doom for the House of Sinanju. Someone's got a plan for vengeance that's a real doozy and is selling their services to the mob-racking up the body count with capo and congressmen alike.

Ready or not, Remo's got his first assignment. With Chiun along to make sure he doesn't screw up, Remo's about to stop an enemy from putting Congress out of session. Permanently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new take on Destroyer legend, January 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The End of the Beginning (Destroyer No. 128) (Paperback)
Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a retelling of past events in the Destroyer series. This book goes way beyond anything done in the first Remo adventure. It does retell how Remo became the Destroyer but this is less than 5% of the book. The rest is a great look at events that were happening around Remo during his indoctrination. The book also answers a lot of questions about things that are happening to Remo in the present day by showing how these events started way back in 1960s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. That's all I can say., July 14, 2002
This review is from: The End of the Beginning (Destroyer No. 128) (Paperback)
After reading this latest installment in the Destroyer series it really hits home that Jim Mullaney is leaving the series. This is his most enjoyable book to date. It takes place before and during Remo's "recruitment" into CURE. It ties in Nuihc, the Dutchman, the original #1, The Day Remo Died, the Shiva connection and lots more. He has way too much time on his hands - it looks like he re-read most of the books in order to keep the timeline straight.

The early interaction between Remo and Chiun is classic. If you read and enjoyed the earlier books (pre 30's), you're in for a treat!

This review is from: The End of the Beginning (Destroyer No. 128) (Paperback)
One of the best books I've read in this series, an excellent retelling of the destroyer's origin.
To someone unfamiliar with this series, I would definitely recommend this book.
