S'està carregant… Slave safari (1973)de Warren Murphy, Warren Murphy, Richard Sapir, Richard Sapir
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   laplantelibrary | Apr 5, 2022 |   ) jimmaclachlan | Sep 25, 2009 | I had high hopes for this one because it is included in the Best of the Destroyer collection. I was a little disappointed in it, because while it was good, it wasn't really one of the "best" Destroyers I've read. The plot involves an African-American man who has gone to Africa and gotten himself installed as the chief military advisor to a typical African dictator. On the side, he periodically returns to America and kidnaps the wealthy female offspring of the various upper crust families who profited from slavery then turns them into sex slaves. Remo and Chiun get involved, and end up overthrowing the dictator, while Chiun gets the opportunity to assist an African tribe (a once great kingdom) who was a former client of Sinanju. There are a couple extremely gruesome scenes of torture and rape of some kidnapped sex slaves, possibly a little more gory than is typical in a Destroyer novel. All in all, Slave Safari was good, it held my attention, but it seemed to go on a bit much and the finale with the African tribe was a bit of an odd choice. Review copyright 2008 J.

Chiun knows a secret and he isn't even telling Remo, the Destroyer, whom he has taught all his skills and loves as a son, because America has committed a sin against him he cannot pardon. They are in Africa, where feuds that have smoldered over centuries are being resolved by death and massacre. But how many deaths? And why? The facts are bizarre. In a Baltimore cemetery a white woman of aristocratic birth, who had died as a slave in Africa many years ago, is supposed to lie buried. But it is not her body in the coffin--and that can spark an international incident. It's going to get hotter in Africa. America's future seems dark indeed--and only Remo, the Destroyer, can bring back the light. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
