When the United Nations launches an ambitious maritime project, it soon becomes the target of a deadly international conspiracy. What should have been a symbol of peace is transformed into a floating death trap as ruthless terrorists, political extremists, and hidden enemies maneuver to seize control. With thousands of innocent lives at stake aboard a massive ocean-going vessel, the secret government organization CURE sends its deadliest operative into action. Remo Williams, trained in the ancient Korean martial art of Sinanju by the legendary Master Chiun, must battle assassins, spies, and mercenaries while uncovering a sinister plot that threatens to turn the world’s largest ship into an unimaginable catastrophe. Filled with outrageous action, razor-sharp humor, inventive fight scenes, and nonstop adventure, Ship of Death delivers everything fans have come to expect from one of the greatest action series ever written.

Ship of Death showcases everything that made the series famous: over-the-top villains, lightning-fast martial arts, clever satire, and the unforgettable partnership between Remo Williams and his eccentric Korean mentor, Chiun.

Collector Notes
Published in 1977, Ship of Death is the twenty-eighth installment in Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy’s enormously successful The Destroyer series. The novels helped redefine the action-thriller genre by blending espionage, martial arts, political satire, and humor years before similar themes became commonplace in popular fiction. Early Pinnacle paperback editions, especially those retaining their original cover artwork, are increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage action paperbacks and fans of the Remo Williams universe.
