Few scientists actually believed the strange-looking animal touted to be a real-live dinosaur was a bona fide Apatosaurus. Frankly, Punkin's species looked too damned cute to have survived a mass extinction, but his beautiful zoologist companion believed - right up to the moment a pharmaceutical company had them both murdered. Now the dino has been stolen, flash frozen, locked away in secret, awaiting its personal contribution to creating a formula for immortality. Suddenly everybody is a believer in the longevity offered by the poor dead animal, and CURE has a crisis on its hands. Smith orders Remo to find the thing and incinerate it before fountain-of-youth seekers rampage the world. But Remo's got bigger problems. Chiun is acting a little off, a little tired - and is single-mindedly determined to enjoy a restorative cup of immortality tea brewed with dragon bones . . .

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