The ancient House of Sinanju is alive and well...but it's a pity the same can't be said about an unfortunate CURE computer jockey and an ex-bunch of Jersey banking bigwigs. It's a murderous ploy to bring Remo and Chiun out in the open, orchestrated by their arch enemy and Maestro of Mayhem, the ace assassin Nuihc. But to do so, he must first k.o. his competition--Remo Williams, the Destroyer!Racing to Chiun's hellhole of a hometown in North Korea, Remo's pumped up for a stand-up battle to the death. But he's been weakened and wounded by Nuihc's slimeball henchmen...and henchwoman. And it appears as if the Destroyer's about to take it on the chin--and lose his head...permanently!
