Okay this is the book where Sapir and Murphy figured out jut how The Destroyer Series was going to work. Chuin comes to the forefront as a equal partner to Remo in this adventure (from a Wold Newton standpoint Chuin probably started feeding Sapir and Murphy information about his adventures).Chuin explains Sinanju's history to Remo including the Sword of Sinanju, which past masters used to execute prisoners and other undesirables which the Chinese currently hold.
Remo and Chuin are called in to find General Liu, a delegate from the Chinese Government who has gone missing. Chuin is less than impressed with the American Government's overtures of peace to China as one of China's Emperors didn't pay for Sinanju's services way back when and kept the Sword of Sinanju so naturally all Chinese are thieves.
Chuin teases Remo as Remo attempts to figure out what happened to the General, refering to Remo as Charley Chan, Ironside and Perry Mason.
Chuin ferrets out the traitor in the Chinese delegates and uses the Sword of Sinanju to execute the traitor. He then collects that ancient debt but leaves the sword in China.
This is what the Destroyer is about, the legacy of Sinanju, the relationship between Remo and Chuin and some kick ass adventure.
