The Seventh Stone
by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy
His name was Remo and he was going to make sure the man's children were on hand.

The Deadliest Stone of All

A bigger chill than snow. Harder to kick than heroin.

The Destroyer was stoned on star lust. Remo was losing it...and loving it...in the highly-trained arms of Kim Kiley, Hollywood sex specialist...and the hottest weapon in the Wo family arsenal.

Okay, the House of Wo was steamed. But two thousand years was a long tme to hold a grudge against the Destroyer. The Wos were like that, though. Give those guys a revenge motive, and it was carved in stone. The family stone. Where Prince Wo the Nearly Great had preprogrammed the Destroyer to self-destruct...unless Chiun could get his mind off sex and back onto violence where it belonged....

Review: This was the most elusive of all the books in my Destroyer collection, except for the Assassin's Guide and Inside Sinanju. I can remember when it was the last regular book in the series I needed, and I lusted after it big time. I was watching a movie called "Jake Speed" which was a take-off of the whole men's adventure genre. The main character makes a reference to Remo Williams and holds up a Destroyer book and it's this one. It was taunting me! Well, it took nearly five years, but I finally got The Seventh Stone!

This is a pretty good novel. I love the Wo family, they were a great bunch of foes for Remo and Chiun. The secret of the seventh stone was brilliant. I wish that the author had listed the other six stones, but that's a minor quibble.

The Seventh Stone is a solid book worth ½.
