Assassin's Play Off

The Destroyer seriesbook 20 of 61Next:Deadly Seeds(1975) →

For centuries, the ancient House of Sinanju is recognized as the center of learning for all the martial arts. To become a Master of Sinanju, however, is to totally perfect one's mental, spiritual, and physical powers. Very few mortals possess even a fraction of the necessary skills. And now, for the first time, a Westerner, a white man, Remo Williams, is defending the Holy Place against his relentless archenemy, Nuihc. Not since the Mongol invasions and the barbaric Chinese warlords has the land trembled in such anticipation. The scenario begins in New Jersey. The die is cast in a U.S. government submarine. Now Chiun and the Premier of Korea will witness the Grand Battle. And Remo Williams - the Destroyer - is being allowed but one blow. One split-second opportunity to punch, slash, chop, smash or kick . The ghosts of a thousand warriors dance in the dust as the two men face each other. And Chiun knows.
