Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta

Budget cuts are every administrator’s nightmare, but CURE’s own Dr. Harold Smith has a real whopper. A battle over bullion prompts Chiun to seek better pastures, and he’s draggong Remo along. Word spreads like wildfire: the fabled assassins of the House of Sinanju are hiring out to the highest bidder. While the desperate Dr. Smith is panicking big-time, rogue nations are trying to beat out, burn down and bump off the competition before the highest bid gets the goods.

It’s a seller’s market for the lethal duo, and their success is assured if there’s anything left of the planet after the bidding war.

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