Dr. William Westhead Wooley has done it: he's perfected a device that captures its user's inmost fantasies and projects them onto a television screen. The ultimate in personalized entertainment is now sought by the Mafia, TV moguls, pornographers, and the super-secret agency of CURE. Fame, profit, power, entertainment—whatever the motive, everyone wants the perfect dream machine. Dr. Smith sees Wooley's Dreamocizer as the ultimate interrogation device, capable of plumbing the heart of darkness in the darkest heart of hearts. And so, Remo—for whom the dream of personal perfection is proving bittersweet—is unleashed to ensure that the device doesn't fall into the wrong hands.


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.

WARREN MURPHY (1933 – 2015) was born in Jersey City, where he worked in journalism and politics until launching the Destroyer series with Richard Sapir in 1971. A screenwriter (Lethal Weapon II, The Eiger Sanction) as well as a novelist, Murphy’s work won a dozen national awards, including multiple Edgars and Shamuses. He was a lecturer at many colleges and universities; lessons on writing are available at his website, WarrenMurphy.com. A Korean War veteran, some of Murphy’s many hobbies included golf, mathematics, opera, and investing. He served on the board of the Mystery Writers of America, and was a member of the Screenwriters Guild, the Private Eye Writers of America, the International Association of Crime Writers, and the American Crime Writers League. He has five children: Deirdre, Megan, Brian, Ardath, and Devin.

RICHARD BEN SAPIR was a New York native who worked as an editor and in public relations before creating The Destroyer series with Warren Murphy. Before his untimely death in 1987, Sapir had also penned a number of thriller and historical mainstream novels, best known of which were The Far Arena, Quest, and The Body, the last of which was made recently into a film. The New York Times book review section called him “a brilliant professional.”
