Just as world leaders are flocking to New York to discuss world peace, someone takes off with the US Navy’s latest super-weapon – a top-secret, atom-armed jet bomber that can escape radar detection. Secret agents Remo and Chiun launch an investigation, but they’re just winging it – until unexpected turbulence forces them to an uncharted island off the Florida Keys.
All at once, peril is hovering over their heads in the form of an ex-Nazi with Blitzkrieg on his mind. His flights of fancy have the free world heading towards disaster, with Remo and Chiun being dragged along for the ride.
Under constant attack, Remo and Chuin are flying by the seat of their pants. And this time it looks as if even the secrets of Sinanju won’t help them land on their feet . . .
Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
