The Rusted Curtain
|
THOSE CRAZY
KREMLIN GUYS
ARE AT IT
AGAIN...
| Things are changing for the supersecret organization
known as CURE. Dr. Harold Smith has a protégé, Remo is thinking about
apprentice shopping and Chiun is fantasizing about retirement from the
headaches of the job (i.e., Remo). Yet the world still has big trouble to
dish out for the master assassins-and this time it's a real doozy.
Somebody's given America an eviction notice in Alaska-in the form of mass murder. Pipeline workers and dozens of U.S. troops are being slaughtered by a mysterious "ghost force" of silent killers. Remo and Chiun recognize the techniques-a bargain basement brand of Sinanju-which poses an alarming question. Who has trained an army of die-hard Soviet troops in the ancient, secret art of the master assassins? |
Anna is still here in book two of this "Rusted Curtain" mini-series. It looks like she may be responsible for this mess, at lease unknowingly. Remo is actually one-upping Chiun on the Sinanju histories. The twosome from Sinanju finally meet Smith's new assistant. All Remo wants to do is kill him. Chiun simply calls him a prince (after all, He's Emperor Smith's #2).
There's some more Sinanju history, another prophecy, Remo battling an internal crisis. Many hints about the future of the series, Chiun, Remo and Smith. Looks like big changes are on the way!
It was a REALLY good read. Great plot, lots of name dropping, set-ups, and foundation laying for the series next books.
