Trial By Fire (The Destroyer)

Global catastrophes have a way of making headlines, so a financially floundering New York newspaper publisher hatches a plan to make a bundle, while old allies and militants unite.
But is it political or personal?
Neutralizing a toxic chemical that will pollute the planet, sell papers, and hold the world hostage is all in a day’s work for Remo and Chiun. CURE faces one of its toughest challenges ever, as an international crisis could cause World War III…or the death of a planet.
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.
