About this ebook

America’s spy network is under investigation – but when a committee starts to delve in to their suspicions, they mistakenly gut the nation’s entire intelligence system. Suddenly Russia’s special killer teams are free to wreak havoc in Europe with no threat of retribution. American spies turn up dead, and in capitals around the world, meetings are held to plan the next anti-American escapade.

There is one hope left for America’s defences.Into the breach are thrown America’s two secret weapons: Remo Williams, the Destroyer, and his deadly mentor, Chiun, a master assassin. They are sent overseas to restore the world’s balance of power from amongst the chaos.

But the Soviets don’t give up that easily. They too have a secret weapon, and when they unleash it, Remo and Chiun find themselves faced with a battle to the death.

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