Tulsa Torrent, America’s biggest lumber company, is stunned and horrified when two of its key scientists are brutally murdered. It seems the deceased were part of a team developing an oil-producing tree, and a lot of interested parties were looking to grease their palms. Before anyone else is pulped, top-secret government agents Remo and Chiun are sent in to observe the project. But danger lies at every turn, and when an environmentalist group enters the picture, determined to kick Tulsa Torrent out, things go from bad to worse. Remo and Chiun must get to the root of the matter before the unknown hatchet man ruins America’s energy future for ever . . . Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
