Comptine Cruelle

Biftons Bidons

Jack-booted stormtroopers. Mobs howling for racial purity. And on the podium, a man ranting and raving and holding his followers spellbound as swastika flags waved above them. Out of what hellish depth of the past had the hideously scarred man who called himself Herr Lutsturz emerged...with his artificial limbs that gave him superhuman strength...with his voluptuous blonde assistant Ilsa who seduced what he couldn't destroy...and with his burning desire to kill Dr. Harold W. Smith, head of the top-secret U.S. Agency CURE, even if he had to rip America into bloody shreds to do it...? Remo and Chiun had to find the answer to this monstrous mystery and the antidote to this irresistible evil.

Retour de flammes

A rash of missing women in the American West has the police spooked. The only clues point to Prophetess Esther Seer-Clear and her Church of the Absolute and Incontrovertible Truth. The Church's large, fortified compound in the rural West is secure for good reason: most of its congregation is comprised of politicians, senators and high-powered executives, anxious to get a glimpse into the future. Remo and Chiun are sent in to investigate--and find the Church is a more horrible and dangerous place than they ever could have imagined.

Oracle, ô désespoir (L'implacable #111)

Two men, born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, driven to oppose each other, for only one man may be the Grandmaster. Justin Gilead and Alexander Zharkov, two men driven by powerful forces they can neither understand nor deny--driven to fight each other in a battle for power that only one of them may win. Gilead is a magnificent athlete, an American, a genius, and a spy. Zharkov is a master strategist, head of the feared secret service agency Nichevo, and a determined, ambitious man. They first meet as ten-year-old chess prodigies--both lonely, intent on winning, both wearing the symbol of the gold coiled serpent. They know the uses of pleasure, the secrets of pain, the impact of evil turned upon itself. They understand the deadly forces that grip the world in swift violence, and sudden death. But only one man may be the Grandmaster. Grandmaster is an extraordinary tale of spymasters and assassins, murder and intrigue played out against a background of Far Eastern mysticism from Moscow to Washington, from Havana to Tibet.

Le grand maître

Encounter Group

"Yes," Smith said, "he is taking over the city. He is giving an open invitation to organized crime to move its operations into Bay City. He's opening the piers so that contraband can move in and out easily, so drugs can flow freely. Mob interests are coming from all over the country . . . setting up cutting rooms and jewelry factories for stolen diamonds . . . printing facilities for counterfeit stock certificates and securities . . . major counting rooms for what may become the nation's biggest illegal gambling operations. It'll be the crime capital of the U.S. within a few months!" "Well, there's capitalism at work again. Proving that our system works best," Remo said. " . . . And we want you and Chiun to keep him alive. Of course, he won't know who you are or who you work for," Smith said. "Or why. Which includes us, as usual. But that's OK, if we can't kill him with kindness, then we'll CURE him," Remo said. "Let's not get into that," Smith gasped.
