Query: It's not like the old days.

I'm sure that many other reviewers have given a plot synopsis, so I'll make this short and sweet.I'm not sure who is writing the series now, but it sure isn't our late (and dearly-missed) friends Murphy and Sapir. It's as though someone asked Quentin Tarentino to guest-pen a book or two. The relationship between Remo and Chiun isn't right; the treatment of the blossoming relationship between Sarah Slate and Mark Howard is trivialized; the plot just plods along in predictable fashion; and the past is glossed over.If you're a die-hard Destroyer fan, you'll want to read it, but if not, buy some of the books pre-110 or so from Amazon's used section.
