For centuries, the ancient House of Sinanju is recognized as the center of learning for all the martial arts. From the ancestral nucleus of Oriental power and prestige have come the world's deadliest assassins and killers, also man's greatest protectors and warriors. 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. Mere muscle or brains do not matter. Rarer still have been the men who dare to even approach the lowest steps of this shrine to violence and sudden death at Sinanju. The masters of Sinanju are the sun source and essence of the martial arts since prehistory. Recent upstart fighting techniques such as Kung Fu, Karate, Ninja, Aikido are but minor variations in the deadly armament of a Master. Only foreplay to the Grand Battle. 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. 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.… (mais)

I used to read the Destroyer and Executioner novels, when I was in my teens, and this was a nice trip back.

For those who read this series, this one involves a Sinanju reject and his devious plan to take advantage of his knowledge to train others to take down Remo. It covers some history of Sinanju, a trip to the ancestral village in North Korea, and the usual amount (a fair amount) of Remo fighting and getting his ass almost kicked, over and over.

I enjoyed it and, by coincidence, it was a perfect choice to revisit the series with. ( )

I absolutely loved the Remo Williams movie as a kid. Still do, actually. It's always been one of my favorites. And while I knew it was based on a series of books, I never had the chance to read any. Then, a few years back, my local comic book store briefly toyed with the idea of selling pulp fiction books on the side, and this was one of them.

This copy is battered and looks badly water-damaged (the entire bottom half is brown with a wavy pattern showing the water line).

Finally getting around to reading it, and at least the characterization seems to have held up in the film adaptation. These are the same characters I enjoyed so much in the movie, only they can get a little more graphic with the fights here. An absolute blast to read.

Chiun and Remo face an old enemy and events lead to a showdown in Sinanju, the village where the ancient practice was founded, and where Chiun is high lord as the Master of Sinanju. But for how long... ( )

He had paid $8,000, all that was in his family's savings account, and had promised $12,000 more in three years of monthly installments to be sitting in the drafty main room of this Scottish castle in the drizzly, bitter chill autumn of the highlands, his knuckles on the floor, his weight on his knees in a position of respect.
