À propos de cet e-book

America’s beautiful people are playing follow-the-leader with their latest guru, diet doctor Felix Foxx. As Foxx’s disciples are dropping pounds, however, US military leaders are dropping like flies. Is this a coincidence? Or does it betray something far more sinister?

CURE has been counting casualties, and top-secret agents Remo and Chiun are dispatched to muscle in and settle the score. They arrive at Foxx’s fat farm – a fool’s paradise where the wealthy go to buy time and beauty. A place where, it appears, they have been losing a lot more than cellulite.

Our heroes have stumbled onto an insidious plot, one that’s eating away at the very core of Western civilization. Racing against time, they’ve only got a slim chance of stopping it.

Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
