I believe that this is the very first Destroyer set in New Orleans, which is about time. Remo and Chiun are up against a loup-garou (werewolf) who has been enhanced by none-other-than Dr. Judith White (evil villain from the previous Destroyer installment). The loup-garou and his wolf-human pack have been hired out by a mobster to off and eat witnesses for the mobster's trial. Remo and Chiun need to save the one remaining witness from becoming the subsequent wolf meal. The real entertainment in this book comes not from the main plot line, which is ho hum, but from the brilliant description and desecration of Louisiana politics. There is also a clever take on Mexican soap operas, though nothing like the one-paragraph soap-opera summaries that were absolutely spot-on in the early installments in the Destroyer series. It seems that the current ghost author is still getting his Destroyer legs. We see Remo interested in a female lead, and absolutely nothing happens between them. Also, the feel of the dialog between Remo and Chiun is not quite right. Alas, there is not as much of CURE director Harold Smith and his assistant Mark Howard in this book.

Another new writer and another reason for someone to screw with a series that has been in publication since 1972. Too many glairing mistakes, too many changes in the character development,and too many wasted scenes. About the only good thing out of it was a hint on where the series may be going if it can survive another writer who does not understand or care about the story line, the characters or the fans. Pick up your paycheck and let someone in there who can do the job right. I case you think this is harsh I have just started #133 and I am finding the same problems. Chuin help us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok this is the very first book by a new writer, will let his style and word usage slide for now. There are some changes to the interplay between Remo and Chun, looking to see where that goes. Do not change the character of Remo too much.

Because of a love for the Destroyer series I foolishly ignored all the bad reviews here and picked up this book based on the couple of semi-positive ones.Big mistake. This book is BAD. It is clear that this is a case where the majority is right. I should have listened to the amazon reviews. Steer clear if you are a true fan.

Despite the negative reviews, I found The Destroyer #132 (Wolf's Bane) very entertaining. I've read over a hundred of the Destroyer series paperbacks and found this one in tune with the story and just as good as any of the others. It's worth the reading if you indeed enjoy the Destroyer series.
