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.

Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
