It's a blast to the past for CURE when an old foe finds a new home at NASA. |
KILL, CRUSH
DESTROY...
| A mechanical killer space spider goes on the rampage in
Florida. This, however, is no simple angry arachnid robbing armored cars
and supermarkets. It's the adopted new brainchild of the
reality-challenged head of NASA and his elite cadre of Space Cadets.
But not even Captain Kirk is aware of the nightmare that's been unleashed in the name of interplanetary exploration. An old enemy is back in action and, with a click and a whir, can morph from titanium spider into his ugly old android self. And with NASA and America's favorite horror writer in his steel-plated back pocket, he's got a leg-or eight-up on his true mission: destroy the Destroyer. This time, failure is not an option. |
Before I read it: Let's see. Anna was back in #123. Smith is training a replacement. Mr. Gordons is making what I would guess is his final appearance. Remo is the almost Reigning MOS. Is the series coming to and end? Oh yea, sinanju.com gets a mention. So this book has to be great, right?
After I've read it: The best so far. Mr. Gordons is back. The Dutchman is almost back. Remo is officially Reigning Master. Elize Roote (#118's foe) is back - and it's the first face off of two of Sinanju's greatest adversaries - Roote vs Mr. Gordons . Jim has packed so much into this book it's almost dizzying. O.J gets whacked. Stephen King gets lampooned. Back in #18 when we first met Mr. Gordons , Chiun plays with a model airplane, then kills someone with it. In #125, its a model rocket ship. In #18, Remo tries to fry Mr. Gordons with a rocket engine. In #125 it's a Space Shuttle engine. Smith's apprentice (Mark Howard) is coming into his own, just as Chiun's apprentice (the white thing) has ascended to Reigning Master. Mr. Gordons survives once again.
Remo is prophesized to be in for some hard times. Let's see: Roote. Mr. Gordons . The Dutchman. Chiun stepping down. Remo searching for his own apprentice. It's going to be a busy future for the ex-Jersey cop. The books:
 | 128- The End of the Beginning |
| 129 - Father to Son |
Should be very enlightening.
