Can Remo and Chiun stop the crash of the '90s from ending with a big bang?
What was nifty in the '60s was nasty in the '90s. Hippies were crazed eco-freaks out to save the earth by destroying the square world. And the image of a Haight-Ashbury angel named Sky Bluel played with atomic weaponry instead of love beads.
But if the flower children had gone to hell, they met their monstrous match in the mega-mogul of the 80s, Connors "Con" Swindell, who gave the concept of blood money diabolical new dimension to save his empire of avarice.
Caught between the strike force of self-righteous savagery and the desperate last stand of grab-it-all-greed, Remo and Chiun faced the most deadly challenge and shocking climax of their career...
A fruitcake earth lover builds a nuke to show easy it is. The nuke gets stolen, and the story takes off.
The big event here - Chiun gets nuked! Yep, Remo and the reader thinks that Chiun is so much neutron dust. We'll later find out (in the next book) that Chiun survived by entombing himself in an underground condo complex, missing his 80'th birthday (a major event in a Master's life.) This book is required background material for the next few books.
The baddies include Dirt First!, a group of "ecowarriors". The chapter when Remo and Chiun visit the Dirt headquarters is classic Destroyer. Funny!!!
The last page, when the "ghost" of Chiun appears to Remo is great. WE know what's going on, but Remo is clueless - like usual!
