Remo and Chiun are forced into action to rescue an elderly former president of the United States - one with knowledge of their top-secret defense organisation, from the eco-terrorists who have kidnapped him and who plan to sell him to a vicious desert tyrant with a grudge.
Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
