Summit Chase
The small African nation of Scambia is in danger and it doesn’t even know it. International syndicates want to create a lawless safe haven for well-heeled criminals and Scambia fits the bill perfectly. But they have a problem: the president of Scambia is a dedicated servant of his country. But the vice-president isn’t. All that’s needed is financial backing, good timing and a little honour among thieves, and this fragile democratic nation will fall. What the criminals won’t count on is Remo Williams. Remo is The Destroyer, an ex-cop who should be dead, but instead fights for the secret government law-enforcement organisation CURE. Trained in the esoteric martial art of Sinanju by his aged mentor, Chiun, Remo is America’s last line of defence. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
Dangerous Games
The Olympics promise to be a rare relaxation in the tensions between the States and Russia. That is, until a racial purist decides to punish America's multi-racial track-and-field team, putting their lives in very real danger. A bomb explodes in the super-secure Olympic village, killing two Russian security guards, just before the torch is lit. As more threats come flooding in, top-secret government agents Remo and Chiun put on their running shoes and join the US Olympic team. Enlisting the aid of a beautiful and flexible Indian gymnast, Remo and Chiun race to track down the terrorists who vow to permanently disqualify America's track-and-field squad. But when the terrorists turn on Remo and Chiun, it's a sprint to the finish for the Defender to keep the Olympic torch alight. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
Air Raid
Don’t breathe the air... They are tiny, genetically engineered blue seeds that mature quickly into trees that literally suck all the oxygen out of the air. They’re the twisted experiment of the earth-friendly but highly secretive Congress of Concerned Scientists, and now they’ve been snatched by its head, Dr. Hubert St. Clair. Having killed off all but one of his scientific team, he’s leading Remo and Chiun on a chase through the proverbial forest. He’s got enough seeds to choke off the world’s oxygen supply, and the ability to create environmental disasters at will. Battling everything from acid rain to blistering heat to frigid cold, the Destroyer races to thwart double disaster in the Amazon rainforest: St. Clair is planting seeds like a maniac and a U.S. President prepares to nuke Brazil into oblivion. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.

Mafia scum have burned down his house, Chiun isn’t speaking to him and nobody is answering his ad for an assassin’s apprentice. As an ambitious Don keeps one eye on the Dow, the suffering Dr. Harold Smith lovingly fingers his cyanide pill while the retiring U.S. President, in a departing “salute,” puts CURE in the hangman’s noose. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.

Politik und Moral
Für Erich Kästner stellten moralische Überzeugungen und politisches Handeln eine Einheit dar. Begründete er die Haltung in seiner Frühzeit auf der Grundlage eines moralischen Gefühls, das vor allem bei Kindern, Künstlern und Außenseitern ausgeprägt sein sollte, so wandelt sich diese Auffassung durch die Kriegserlebnisse. Nach 1945 wirkte Kästner in Literatur, Publizistik und im Rahmen seiner PEN-Club-Aktivitäten deutlich direkter politisch. Die Beiträge des Bandes versuchen, diese Entwicklung zwischen moralischer Politik und politischer Moral nachzuzeichnen. Eine Aufgabe der Beiträge besteht daher in einer präzisen Rekonstruktion des moralischen Emotionalismus Erich Kästners, den er von seiner frühen Lyrik bis zu seinen spätesten Artikeln und Solidaritätsadressen wie selbstverständlich ausprägte und der ohne jede metaphysische Referenz auskommt. Besonders komplex gerät diese Aufgabe, weil Kästners bisweilen rigoristischer Moralismus mit den Instrumenten eines ganz eigentümlichen Humors abgefedert wird, der mehr verstärkend als entlastend wirkt.
