Book Description

Series: Destroyer, 14 | Publication Date: December 19, 2002

The new director is ordering the Destroyer and his mentor Chiun to kill Smith, the director of CURE. They are searching for Smith, who is successfully hiding, when immediate trouble begins for the deadly duo, because Chiun doesn't want to agree to the killing. Smith is Chiun's emperor, the man who pays the salary that supports the ancient village of Sinanju. Chiun doesn't know about CURE, just about Smith, and the cash always arrives on time. That's enough. Remo is a company man though, a trained killer who works for CURE, the top-secret agency that doesn't exist, and if they don't want Smith to exist any longer, it is his job to murder him. Orders are orders. But who is the new director? Who hired him and who fired Smith? Could there be another infiltrator? CURE's security has been violated before, and there is always that possibility. There are a lot of questions to be answered before judgment day arrives.

4.0 out of 5 stars CURE director Harold Smith is center stage; to his horror!, January 14, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Judgment Day (Destroyer, No 14) (Paperback)

Remo Williams thought he would never be rid of his lemony boss Harold Smith, director of the supersecret organization CURE. After all, Smith was the one responsible for framing Remo for murder, faking his execution, and shanghai-ing him into service at CURE; a man who doesn't exist for an organization that doesn't exist. When golden boy Blake Corbish takes the helm at CURE, Remo is surprised to find that he likes Corbish even less than Smith and refuses to carry out Corbish's first order: Find Smith and kill him. Good thing, because Corbish is behind a plot to usurp CURE's awesome powers for his own evil ends, and only Dr. Harold Smith stands in his way. Can Remo Williams save the man who framed him for murder and virtually enslaved him? Of course, Remo is the Destroyer...the question is, will he

This review is from: Judgement Day: Destroyer #14 (Paperback)

One of the best in The Destroyer series. Doctor Smith is drugged, kidnapped, tortured, and apparently replaced as the director of CURE. Although I do have some problems with this book: Doctor Smith giving up CURE secrets (ok that probably would happen if tortured); Remo ready to off Smith so readily against Chiun's advice; and Smith's carelessness at the end of the story, I'm giving a five star rating.

It's great to see Smith working his way back across the country to stop the usurper. The parts with Remo are mostly fun. The villain in this one is quite despicable too. Finally, it's a quick read, unlike modern novels.

I don't recall if the original edition had all the typos I noticed in this edition, but considering how much more this one costs than the first edition did, it would have been nice to have it proofread.
