STAY TUNED FOR MORE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

Somebody is using television as a mind control vehicle, sending subliminal messages to hollow-eyed viewers, and turning ordinary couch potatoes into raging mobs programmed to kill. A secret enemy dares to take over the world -- by controlling its greatest natural resource: the boob tube.

Worse, it's soon clear that whoever is behind the conspiracy knows about CURE and plans to preempt its mission to protect the world. Will Remo and Chiun kill each other . . . or just change the channel? Will Harold Smith discover his new assistant is a traitor . . . or just a victim of bad programming? Will the Destroyer be canceled by a certain network bigwig . . . or will the most fiendish plot ever to grip the airways become just another failure in the cutthroat world of big entertainment?
