Actually, start with #3 in the series first.,
By
This review is from: Created, the Destroyer (Paperback)
This novel was Sapir and Murphy's first stab at fiction, and it shows in the roughness of the character development. However, they had a wealth of good ideas to mine, and the writing skills were definitely in evidence. This, and #2, are the ones you should read after about ten others, if you have the time and patience to collect and read them serially.Overall, essential for a collector and a decent read, but the series doesn't really get rolling until #3.

Remo Williams is The Destroyer! Great series....,
By rffoster@laol.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Created, the Destroyer (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

THE BEGINNING OF A LEGEND,
By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Created, the Destroyer (Paperback)
I will agree with the other reviewers that the first two books in the DEstroyer series almost do not even count and the series would really not find its way and unique style until the third book in the series. Still...this is the beginning as we learn how the NJ cop Remo Williams gets the chair for murder and is then resuscitated and recruited by a super secret agency Known as CURE. Remo is trained in the deadly Korean martial art known as Sinanju by Chiun, master assasin, and uses his new skills to battle evil under the guidance of CURE's director, Smith.The first book really doesn't develop any of the characters with the personalities that they would come to have once the series took off but it is still notable as THE first and as such deserves a place of honor. It's rather slow moving but historical still. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful
