About this eBook
Don't Touch That Dial!
In the cutthroat world of evening news, where "if it bleeds it leads" is the industry's lifeblood, the dead-last BCN network is hemorrhaging viewers. On the chopping block is million-dollar anchor Kitty Coughlin, who is one ratings point away from early termination. But when a group of armed men hijack her plane and stage a spectacular near-miss of one of America's most famous landmarks, Kitty's eyewitness account helps BCN achieve a remarkable ratings rally.
Kitty is riding high...until the ratings bubble bursts and her career goes back on life support. Then the next catastrophe strikes.
Wherever Kitty Coughlin goes, disaster -- and ratings gold -- follows. Is Kitty's uncanny ability to be at the center of the news storm sheer dumb luck or very bad news?
Harold W. Smith of the supersecret agency CURE knows a thing or two about disaster management. He sends in Remo Williams and the remarkable Chiun to tune in, turn off, and pull the plug on whoever is putting Americans at risk.

I've been a fan of the Destroyer series for a long time, and have collected as many of the books as I could locate. Yes, I know they are silly, ridiculous, testosterone-laden, right-leaning satire, but they are a deliciously satisfying guilty pleasure as well. Warren Murphy's decades of skewering the thinly veiled knobs of pop culture and politics has been joined by Jim Mullaney's glib collabratory sword, combining with razor sharp sardonic wit to cathartically eviscerate the effigies of our collective id.
