This book is like all the other Wodehouse books, Galahad trying to bring a couple together. It is a wonderful satire on all the earls, lords, dukes etc. etc. This one is about a lover who is posing as a person who is going to paint a pig, the Empress. Wodehouse never finished the book (because he died while writing it), but that makes it even more interesting. But be careful, once you start reading his books, most likely you will not stop. Everybody will be able to enjoy it a little bit, for his books make you laugh until tears come rolling down your cheeks. Cheers! :)

It was a bitter-sweet experience to read this book years ago, knowing it was P.G.'s last, and unfinished to boot. However, the editor (a Wodehouse biographer) included manuscripts and early drafts, showing marginal notes and erasures, Wodehouse's outline of his plot, and false starts of plot lines, and the editor's own analysis. A fascinating look into the process of writing.

One of the best books in the Destroyer series!!! A must-have for any fan of Warren Murphy!!!
How incredible that author Warren Murphy has put back into
print the guide to the series, Assassin's Handbook, at Amazon or at his website,....
I've been a loyal follower of Warren Murphy and will continue to be for the next millennium!!!

If you're a long time of the Destroyer series, you'll truly enjoy this book. Chiun is back to leaving bodies for Remo to clean up. Remo continues to flex his authority as reigning master, albeit with the MOS Emeritus watching his every move. There are plenty of Remo and Chiun *moments*, lots of action, and a new Russian temptress. If you're a new reader, you'll like the plot, action, and humor. Either way, BUY the book. Plus I'm in the dedication, so it just has to be good!

Sad to say Jim is leaving the series. Damn.

The middle east is near war, Shiva and Kali are dancing the Tandava, stirring the cauldron of blood, and moving the world towards destruction.

Remo is actually DEAD until the final pages, when Chiun must make a deal with Shiva for the return of his pupil.

This is one of the pivotal books in the series, and one of the most enjoyable to read. It's actually part two of the only multi-part book. Read the previous one (#85, Blood Lust) first!

Any fans of the Destroyer novels SHOULD read this book. It tells of a cult in New Orleans who worship a godess of death, Kali, who sends them out on passenger airplanes to strangle people. The way this ties with Sinanju is that a LONG time ago, a Master named Lu the disgraced served the emperer of Rome, and let Rome fall. After this, Lu traveled to Ceylon, and met Kali, who after an episode that happens in the book that I don't want to give away, develops a vendetta against the Masters, and in the end, Remo uses the power of Shiva(somewhat) to destroy Kali(somewhat). All in all, my favorite Destroyer book.

Uncle Sam trys to take over Cuba and turn it into a theme park. A great parody of Uncle Wally, it's Remo and Chiun at their best. Realllllly funny, great satire. Uncle Sam becomes a villian second only to Mr.Gordons

The Destroyer is a series of books ( over 130 ) total. Why so many? Because Destroyer Fans can't get enough. Well written, highly ingenuitive, The Destroyer is the type of series and ideas everyone wishes they had come up with. You will be entrapped by the humor and intrigue of Remo Williams and his side-kick, Chiun, the Master of Sinanju, who would kill me for calling him Remo's sidekick. These two will crack you up, and keep you on your toes as they do the United State's dirty work at home and abroad, as the enforcement arm of the secret agency that keeps America free. Do yourself a favor, join us Destroyer Fans, I think you'll be glad you did. One hint, start with Volume 1. It is titled, Created:The Destroyer.

I read destroyer. Good graphics and good humor. The hero gets humialted by his master and in the end ends up being Shiva.

This easy reader is a delightful story to share with all students. The information gained about President Washington is unforgettable. Children will love that George named his dog "Sweetlips" and they won't forget that he was super kind and honest to one of his enemies! This book will be a staple in classrooms across the country and this true story of George may replace his "Cherry Tree" tale.

Jeremiah Purcell has escaped from Folcroft and Mark Howard is missing. Friend is back and has a way to turn Smitty, Remo, and Chiun against each other using the TV media and cryptosubliminal technology to hit their subconscious. All this while Remo tries to convince Chiun that he isn't trying to get rid of him.
This is a great book in the series. Jim Mullaney gets you going one way, yanks the rug out from under you, and throws you another way. He is also setting us up for what sure looks to be something huge.
