Publisher's summary

When a visiting Chinese general is kidnapped on American soil, it looks as if the President's goal of diplomatic détente will be dashed. The FBI is helpless, the CIA has no leads, and only one hope remains: CURE. Remo and Chiun must race to find the abductee in time to save face and prevent an international incident. Someone wants the People's Republic to declare war on the United States, and, strange as it seems it's up to the Destroyer to keep the peace.

Remo Seavers?

One of the great early Destroyers! Although the narrator’s Chiun reminded me of the old Charlie Chan movies, and I wasn’t a fan of Smith’s voice, Remo really sounded like Lee Majors doing Colt Seavers from the Fall Guy tv series and I truly enjoyed that! Although I’ve always preferred the preceding novel, Death Check, Chinese Puzzle is the book where the series started to find its groove. Great story. Listen and enjoy!

Better on audio

Read the book back in 1988, loved the book. Started reading the series in 87 and would read them when I could find them. Wish I had found them in order. Now I have found them on audio and will find time to them.

Great narration for a great story

I read these books years ago and I’ve always liked them. I’m glad they’re on Audible. The story and the narration were spot on. Can’t wait for the next one.

I love this series

I have one negative comment and that’s regarding the music played between each chapter. It got old really quick and I hope the rest of the books don’t have this feature.

It’s not going to keep me from listening so the rating is a solid 5.
