Publisher's Synopsis

A series of brutal suicide attacks by surprisingly skilled adversaries leave Remo nearly incapacitated. Meanwhile Chiun is off visiting his beloved homeland. The Master of Sinanju has always been the protector of a small North Korean seaside village, and no one from petty regional bureaucrat to premier Kim Il Sung can change that. Of course, Chiun has trained two assassins in his lifetime-one of whom has proven an unceasing source trouble for the Master. Now, the prodigal has returned once again, to challenge Chiun for the title of Master. Can Remo defeat his arch enemy and protect the future of Sinanju, or will his injuries doom him to a violent end?
ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo's trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive.
The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer has been praised by the LA Times as "flights of hilarious satire," and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.
