She is the world's greatest entertainer; in a few brief years, she has changed show business forever and tens of millions of people follow her every move. Now it looks like someone is trying to end her career for good. She's not the kind to roll over and play dead for anybody. The red phone in the White House is lifted for the first time in years and a request is made to "Keep her safe" — in the interest of national security, of course. Enter Remo Williams, the Destroyer, and Chiun, the Master of Sinanju and the world's greatest assassin. They're ordered to keep the music world's brightest star safe by CURE at the behest of the President. Move over, Barbra. Watch out, Cheeta Ching. Sorry, Judge Jenny. Chiun has gone gaga over a new lady. Killers, stand back. You're messing with the wrong girl and you ain't seen nothing yet. ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo’s trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive. The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer has been praised by the LA Times as “flights of hilarious satire,” and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.
Accidents happen. The Vice President has seen enough of them: he’s seen the economy crash, foreign policy bungled, and civil liberties destroyed. When he gives speeches, he puts his foot in his mouth so often his tongue should have “welcome” printed on it. But when the accidents start turning deadly, a plot to assassinate the VP is discovered. There is no love lost between this administration and CURE, the secret government agency created decades ago to protect the United States. Recent events in the White House have caused Harold Smith, CURE’s director, to sever the ever-present hotline between himself and the President. But patriotic duty calls: Smith must keep the Vice President safe. Remo and Chiun are summoned to protect the Vice President and flush out the villains. Can they eliminate the bad guys before the Vice President takes a hit?
