Summary: Wow. That's all I can say.
Review: After reading this latest installment in the Destroyer series it really hits home that Jim Mullaney is leaving the series. This is his most enjoyable book to date. It takes place before and during Remo's "recruitment" into CURE. It ties in Nuihc, the Dutchman, the original #1, The Day Remo Died, the Shiva connection and lots more. He has way too much time on his hands - it looks like he re-read most of the books in order to keep the timeline straight.The early interaction between Remo and Chiun is classic. If you read and enjoyed the earlier books (pre 30's), you're in for a treat!

Summary: Great new take on Destroyer legend
Review: Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a retelling of past events in the Destroyer series. This book goes way beyond anything done in the first Remo adventure. It does retell how Remo became the Destroyer but this is less than 5% of the book. The rest is a great look at events that were happening around Remo during his indoctrination. The book also answers a lot of questions about things that are happening to Remo in the present day by showing how these events started way back in 1960s.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This was a great story and is tied tightly to the current storyline. It's a shame Jim is leaving the series, he's done a terrific job in most of his books. As Jim says in the intro, this book is not following the source material 100%. I think he greatly improved the storyline from the first book (Created, the Destroyer) - I even liked Remo in this version of the series beginning.

Summary: The end of the beginning
Review: Unlike the other reviews, I found this instalment to be a total waste of time. If you are new to the series its great for a initial lesson. However for those of us who have been following the series since the begining, its a rehash of old material with some filler. Lets get back to current times and current problems.
