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

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.
