Acerca deste livro eletrónico

A giant squid rescued in a bizarre oceanic maelstrom dies in a Chicago aquarium, but its eggs burst with megavolts of killer electricity that zap human flesh into bite-size pieces. When one of the squid’s unlucky entrees turns into an evil, seemingly unstoppable foe, Remo and the Masters of Sinanju enter the fray.

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