Warren Murphy (Author), Richard Sapir (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 19, 2002 | Series: Destroyer, 18

The San Diego branch of the Secret Service is receiving some absolutely perfect counterfeit U.S. currency in the mail, and getting nervous. A flood of these bogus bucks could cripple the economy. But plans for using the funny money are more devious than that - and it's all the work of an utterly gorgeous impossible brilliant female scientist and her not-quite-human associate, Mr. Gordons. She's holding the world's monetary system, as ransom for a NASA space-age computer program so advanced its use on earth is limited. In space? That's another matter - a matter for Remo Williams, the Destroyer, to settle before the future of America -- and the world -- becomes the property of a beautiful, diabolical creature and her unstoppable sidekick!

This review is from: Funny Money: Destroyer #18 (Paperback)

This book introduces the recurring villian, Mr. Gordons. The shape-shifting, artificial intelligence has one overriding directive...to survive. When Mr. Gordons overhears his creator mention needing money to survive and continue her research, he decides that he too needs money.
When US Mint printing plates are stolen and funny money begins to appear, the secret agency CURE gets involved. When Remo and Chiun, the reigning Master of Sinanju, are sent by CURE to investigate the flood of forgeries, they encounter Mr. Gordons. Will Mr. Gordons consider them threats to his survival?

When I found my father's collection of The Destroyer book series, this is the first issue I read. And, to this day, it remains one of THE quintessential stories for the series. It should be required reading for those who enjoy the action/adventure genre. The Destroyer series has been in continuous print since the 1970's. Through 2008, there are close to 150 different volumes. If you've never read a Destroyer book, this volume is definitely a good place to start. And be sure to check out the "The New Destroyer" series. This is a continuation of the Destroyer story after Destoyer #145. All of the "New Destroyer" novels are available here on Amazon, and I highly recommend them.
