Product Description
Product Description
The big brains behind the business usually have many pots boiling on their stove, or running their think engines as the case may be. But when the business motto of the Brewster forum, "Pursuing Research Into Original Thought", leads them to some eccentric affairs that throw them far enough off track, Remo Williams enlists the help of his Master Chiun to solve a harrowing crime.

Getting better, but not quite there yet.,
By
This review is from: Death Check: Destroyer #2 (Paperback)
It's good to see a re-issue of an extremely popular series, and "The Destroyer" novels will probably draw interest from history majors as well as those seeking a diversion: Murphy and Sapir tended to use contemporary -- at that time -- social problems and issues as themes.This novel doesn't properly represent a good start for someone first reading a Destroyer novel (try #3 in the series first), but like #1 in the series, it's essential for the collector and certainly not a waste of money. There are, however, two minor points I raise. One, the reissue prices are ridiculous for paperbacks. Two, and probably most disappointing, is the decision not to re-issue the original covers. Man, some of that artwork would definitely drive a teenage boy to pick one up.

I still love this one,
By The Rectifier - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death Check: Destroyer #2 (Paperback)
First, I have to agree with Fred: the original cover art was much better than the current reissue template.This book did not directly feature Chiun. Remo was on his own. Remo's assessments of the staff at the forum are terrific and only get better when he learns the secret behind their plan to conquer the world. This is a down and dirty, physical Destroyer who uses his extraordinary skill at fighting and a unique chess move to save the day. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Fun read,
By C. Swanson "c_swanson" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Great fun read; I read a lot of this series in the 70s and 80s in paperback. I really enjoyed the bantering relationship between Remo and his "little father." Glad to see them coming out on the Kindle since I let my wife talk me into getting rid of all my paperbacks a few years ago.
