About this ebook

When the United Nations decide to move on from their New York headquarters, a Greek shipping magnate presents them with a brand new, deluxe home: the biggest pleasure cruise liner ever built. It promises unparalleled luxury, with casinos, restaurants and palatial apartments – but a deadly secret lies within the hull. A bomb is set to explode the night of the Opening Gala. Unbeknownst to everyone aboard, their luck is about to run dry.

But America’s last lines of defence, Remo and Chuin, have severed ties with CURE, the secret government organisation they worked for. When their ex-chief Harry Smith decides to go it alone and gets stuck in a death-trap, only a change of heart from Remo can save the UN, and his old boss, from a watery grave . . .

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