Destroyer #3: Chinese Puzzle by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir
I never saw the big screen adaptation of the Destroyer. From what I’ve heard, that’s no big loss. In any event, I’m a late arrival to this action-comedy series by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir. But after reading just this one installment, I understand why the series is so popular.
The plot is rife with Cold War intrigue, with a few twists to keep you guessing. It concerns a kidnapped general from the People’s Army, and his attractive concubine. Remo and Chiu are dispatched to resolve this international incident.
Remo Williams is a regular guy. No, make that an exceptional guy. He’s an old-school adventurer who happens to be learning a deadly martial art from a wizened master. Chiu isn’t just exceptional–he’s pretty much superhuman. We get some background on him in this book, concerning his native village in Korea, and the art he has mastered. He’s also a hilarious smartass, who kept me snickering periodically.
There is an affection between these two heroes–that of a teacher for his gifted student, and the student for his incomparable master. And yet, we learn Chiu is prepared to kill Remo if ordered to by those they work for. Lucky for both Remo and the reader, this doesn’t happen.
So whether you like action or humor, but especially if you like both, this book gets a strong recommendation from me.
