Remo & Chiun return
I was naive enough to think that Warren Murphy was writing the Destroyer series all by himself after Mr. Richard B. Sapir passed on. Indeed, the internet reveals much, perhaps too much, who really needs to know how the internet works, it just does. Herein is where I learned that James Mullaney was but one of many ghost writers penning the Destroyer series, which cleared up my confusion as to ...

This is the OLD Destroyer!!!!
Wooo! He's back - they're ALL back. Remo, Chiun and Smith have returned to the world they were born in - and it's a GREAT world indeed! The characterizations are right, the dialogue is right, the relationships are right. This is the way it's supposed to be. (I've got ALL the books, read each of them more than once (well... okay, there were a few that I could barely get through once!) and I ...

Great Jumping on Point!

Whatever Happened to the Soul? Scientific and Theological Portraits of Human Nature

10 reviews

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1998

No more Plato from the pulpit!
People who have actually studied philosophy and are tired of hearing people rave on and on about saving "souls" can read this for direction and sound arguments. It is a good collection of experts in theological, scientific, and philosophical fields that are not trying to push materialism onto you and call it Christianity. These are seminary professors and Christian scholars who have done their ...

Death Check: Destroyer #2 (Destroyer, 2)

I still love this one
First, I have to agree with Fred: the original cover art was much better than the current reissue template. This book did not directly feature Chiun. Remo was on his own. Remo's assessments of the staff at the forum are terrific and only get better when he learns the secret behind their plan to conquer the world. This is a down and dirty, physical Destroyer who uses his extraordinary skill ...

The New Destroyer: Killer Ratings (New Destroyer)

Best one yet
The fourth installment of the New Destroyer series is really a home run! I was put off by the cover but as the old adage goes "don't judge a book by it's cover" is reinforced with this novel. Murphy and Mullaney have really polished their writing, from the biting satirical comments to the idiosynchronies of Remo and Chiun. I was very surprised at how well this novel flows and think it is ...

*NOW* we're cooking.
If this is the first Destroyer novel you pick up, you've gotten it right on the first try. This is where the hysterical banter between Remo and Chiun really hits its stride, and you get character development in an action novel that readers had no right to expect back when these were written. Lest ye forget, the Destroyer novels competed with "The Executioner", "The Butcher", and "Edge" for ...

THE BEGINNING OF A LEGEND
I will agree with the other reviewers that the first two books in the DEstroyer series almost do not even count and the series would really not find its way and unique style until the third book in the series. Still...this is the beginning as we learn how the NJ cop Remo Williams gets the chair for murder and is then resuscitated and recruited by a super secret agency Known as CURE. Remo is ...

One of my favorites
I found this book for the first time in a box of family give away books. I read it and loved it. That was several years ago, and now I re-read it every time I run out of books to read. Warren and Cochran do a great job of relaying the eternal struggle of good and evil alongside the modern storyline of international spy-games. I didn't want to stop reading this book when I reached the last ...

The best CURE yet
Back when I first started reading The Destroyer series I was always eager to read the next novel, after reading the third installment of The New Destroyer, I'm waiting again! Political satire, references to mythological creatures and a seemingly unstoppable enemy all contribute to a page turning adventure. The double M's are not pulling any punches with the new novels and the "Dead Reckoning" ...

Dragon Bones Destroyer
Very good, typical story and good use of Sinanju history. I wish listings of this series titles included the number of the book. I have bought one I already had three times.

Nancey Murphy, Warren S. Brown

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Difficult but rewarding read
"Did My Neurons Make Me Do It" isn't an easy read, especially if you're not conversant in philosophical terminology and concepts. That said, if you are interested in the question of free will in the age of neurobiology then the book is well worth the effort. Murphy and Brown make a compelling argument that, even when embracing a physicalist view of the brain, i.e., no non-material mind, a degree ...

e-reads.com, 2002

Forber isn't a mad scientist, he's a tectonic technician with a touch for terror who goes by the name "Dr. Quake". California's touchy San Andreas Fault is in danger of being professionally provoked. But it's not Dr. Quake's fault, for someone has split with his earthquake machine. If this dastardly deviant doesn't get a million dollars in cold hard cash he is going to shake down Southern California for a whole lot more. Luckily, shakedowns and ...

Graphic Audio, 2007

Unabridged. A single superheated zap from an invisible object in space literally vaporizes the Biobubble habitat scientists. More sizzling attacks are followed by eyewitness sightings of giant Cryllic letters in the sky. As the White House and Pentagon hastily cover up in reflective tinfoil to ward off the deadly rays, Remo and Chiun are dispatched to Russia to stop these stealth attacks before World War III really scorches the planet.

Cochran and Murphy do it again!
First of all, I loved this book. It was just as captivating as Forever King and The Broken Sword. I just couldn't put it down. I must admit it was a little slow at the begining but then it grabs you and doesn't let go. I really liked the way they tied in the figures from Greek myths and gave a creative explanation of where the legends of the greek gods may have came from. An interesting spin on ...
