Sweet Dreams (Destroyer Series #25)

by Warren Murphy, Richard Sapir

Overview

Dr. William Westhead Wooley has done it: he�s perfected a device that captures its user�s inmost fantasies and projects them onto a television screen. The ultimate in personalized entertainment is now sought by the Mafia, TV moguls, pornographers, and the super-secret agency of CURE. Fame, profit, power, entertainment�whatever the motive, everyone wants the perfect dream machine. Dr. Smith sees Wooley�s Dreamocizer as the ultimate interrogation device, capable of plumbing the heart of darkness in the darkest heart of hearts. And so, Remo�for whom the dream of personal perfection is proving bittersweet�is unleashed to ensure that the device doesn�t fall into the wrong hands.

Remo Williams is The Destroyer, a seemingly unremarkable beat cop recruited�through highly unorthodox methods�by a secret government law-enforcement organization. Trained to become the most deadly assassin, Remo is America's last line of defense against mad scientists, organized crime, ancient undead gods, and anything else that threatens the Constitution. An action-adventure series leavened with social and political satire, the Destroyer novels have been thrilling readers worldwide for decades.
