Remo Williams is the first white master of Sinanju, the most lethal of all martial arts. Trained to the point of superhuman perfection by the ancient master assassin Chiun, The Destroyer is a living weapon employed by the ultra-secret extra-governmental agency called CURE to right the wrongs no one else can.

 

The series, while action based, has several elements of fantasy, science fiction, espionage and mystery (not necessarily all in the same novel). The main characteristic that sets The Destroyer series apart from other adventure series is the political and social satire in almost every novel. The series has lampooned almost every subject, including itself, over the years.
