The New Destroyer: Guardian Angel (Destroyer #146)

Customer Reviews:

Wow. It's back and about time!

By Richard C. Drew "Anaal Nathra/Uthe vas Bethod... - May 11, 2007

After years of suffering through what can only be generously deemed as amateur and uninspired writing with obsession on all things squid, the Destroyer has finally returned to it's roots. Remo, Chiun and Smith out to save the good old USA. The relationship between Remo and Chiun was a cornerstone of the series - the humor, ever evolving father-son bond, and the bickering - is back.

Also back is the bizarre arch-villain the series was so well known for, a returning nemesis and some political incorrectness (I'd like to see more, but in today's even stranger than Destroyer fiction world, the book would probably be burned, or banned, or fed to a squid.)

If you are a Destroyer fan, don't skip this book - it's a truly a rebirth of the series. New to the series? Well, it's the New Destroyer #1, so obviously a great place to start.

His name was Murphy, and he's back to Remo

By R. Dorf - May 15, 2007

His name was Remo, and Warren Murphy is back to writing him.

After their partnership amicably broke up, Murphy remained for a while as primary writer, eventually passing on the character to a series of authors of greater and lesser ability. Some, like Will Murray and James Mullaney, met with fan acclaim. Others did not. Now, as of Guardian Angel, Murphy is back, co writing with Mullaney.

So, does he still have it?

The best Destroyers have always been almost as much political and pop culture satires as action novels, with sacred cows on the right and left enthusiastically skewered. Murphy and Mullaney remember that, turning in a plot that takes shots at both sides in the current debate over illegal immigration. Remo faces a worthy but only human foe, a nice change from the recent string of toe-to-toe super-villains, and a fair number of the plot points... read more

The Destroyer is back

By Michael D. Lee "Mike" - May 6, 2007

I've never reviewed a book on Amazon before but for this series and this book in particular I had to. The Destroyer is Back!!! This one statement sums up the book. Take the last dozen or so that "you know who" wrote and throw them out. Highly recommend to anyone who loves the Destroyer series or is just starting it.
