Review: Destroyer 45 Spoils of War by Warren Murphy

Destroyer 45 Spoils of War by Warren Murphy (Ghost Writer: Molly Cochran)

This was another weak book in the series. A charismatic minister is taking over army bases and turning the soldiers into his own army and no one can figure out what’s happening to the soldiers. No, that doesn’t make sense, and neither did this novel. Remo and Chiun come in to fix things, get attacked a few times, and finally figure out what’s going on. There’s really nothing to write home about here.

 

The only truly good thing about the novel is that Remo passes another phase of his Sinanju training, having a dream about dying. I didn’t think this boosted the story very much, but in the larger scheme of things as Remo advances toward being a master, it’s worth noting. I also wonder if Chiun’s former pupil, Nuich, passed this stage.
