made very little sense

How can Warren Murphy add this to the cannon of the Destroyer? I'm a huge fan, owning all of the books and extras from the saga, from all publishers. This story was absolutely ridiculous. The characteristics of the two children of Remo were VERY WELL defined in the main series. It's like Murphy and his co-author just decided to phone in the story. I was happy to purchase this and the other books to complete my collection. It should not have been this poorly written. I expected significantly more from Murphy,

Awesome followup to Book 1

As a longtime fan of The Destroyer series, I was very excited about this new spinoff series featuring Stone and Freya, children of Remo Williams (aka The Destroyer). The first book was a great addition to The Destoyer series of books. Book 2 continues the excitement, even tying in elements of The Destroyer legend and lore in the process. For fans of action, this has a little bit of everything. A classic bad guy (a covert group that has been secretly altering the course of world history for generations), a super villain that is truly worthy of our heroes time and effort, and the wit and wisdom we've come to expect from Mr. Murphy (cops who don't arrest anyone except those violating the city's Big Gulp ordinance? Classic!). Stone is definitely Remo's son, and Freya is going to be a special addition to the line of Sinanju!

The Tribe of Sunonjo and the House of Sinanju are in Great Hands

The Tribe of Sunonjo and the House of Sinanju are in Great Hands. Warren Murphy and Gerald Welch do a superb job at keeping Sinanju fresh for a new set of readers. Stone and Freya have a true dynamic as a brother sister team and their play off of each other is both funny and touching. The subplot of the Sunonjo/Sinanjo histories adds just the right flavor to keep both a sense of familiarity and mystery. All in all I hope to see more of them in the near future and for a long time to come.

The Destroyer saga continues

Remo's son and daughter team up against a rival that wants to destroy Sinanju and America. I always have and will continue to love Warren Murphy's work. My only minor complaint is that the books are not long enough.

For Destroyer fans

Just finished the second book in the Legacy series and cannot wait for the third one. Couldn't put the book down, I enjoy the interaction between Stone and Freya, and Sunny Joe. I don't want to say to much and ruin it for three other fans, so I'll just say, I have been reading and collecting the Deeper books for over 30 hrs. I never thought I would find another series that could make me feel the way I feel when reading the Destroyer books, but I have found it in Legacy. Love the books, thanks Warren Murphy and Scott Welch.

Interesting Book

As a long-time Sinanju fan, this book was not bad. Several chuckles and an interesting story. I expect to see more action in this series though.
