Summary: Call me maudlin, but...
Comment: Contrary to the others who have given a review, I found myself pretty disappointed by this edition. Where was Chiun??? He certainly wasn't the guy who used the word "maudlin" and spoke in such even tones. He certainly wasn't the man who passed up so many opportunities to bust Remo's chops when given so many invitations to do so. One of my favorite aspects of The Destroyer is the relationship between Remo and Chiun and I just didn't feel it in this one. I liked the idea of Remo trying to take on the role of the thinker. What a rich environment to poke relentless fun at Remo, but it never materialized. Better luck next time.

Summary: Good times are back
Comment: This was a very welcome return to form for the Destroyer after some lacklustre times and the thing that pleased me most was the fact that Remo was facing somebody as superhuman as him. Although the recent Nazi stories were taking Remo and Chiun back to how we like them (bickering and smartmouthing each other) the villains were hardly much of a challenge so there was a bit of a "ho hum" flavour to them. This story was great though in that we had somebody who could damage Remo which gave some much needed tension to the story and which led to a great showdown. A really entertaining read.

Summary: So far the best yet!
Comment: At present this is one of the best Destroyer books lately and the last few have been pretty good. I enjoyed the flashback into the past books, it was tied in nicely with this story. Over the years it's gotten so Remo can't be touched or hurt by anyone so it was refreshing to see a little bit of a reality check given to Remo, I won't say anymore. The book was definately fun and enjoyable to read if you're into the Destroyer don't miss this one.
