The eyes of the world are on the small Midwestern town of Wounded Elk when it is captured by rampaging Indians who intend to even the score. And what no one – except the secret government law-enforcement organisation CURE – knows yet, is that just outside the city limits is the United States’ biggest and most secret nuclear installation, loaded with enough atomic weapons to send us back to the Stone Age.

Something amazing is needed to stop the arsenal falling into the wrong hands. Or perhaps, someone amazing . . .

Remo Williams is The Destroyer, an ex-cop who should be dead, but instead fights for CURE. Trained in the esoteric martial art of Sinanju by his aged mentor, Chiun, Remo is America’s last line of defence.

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