A review by gengelcox
Dr. Quake by Warren Murphy, Richard Sapir

adventurous fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

1.0

Yet another in the Destroyer series and this one finally gets lurid with its focus on the daughters of the eponymous title character whose sex appeal is as superhuman as Remo and Chiun’s fighting skills. Of course, they are no match for Remo’s own sexual abilities and thus lies the crux of not only this series but the superhero concept in general: where’s the danger, thrill, excitement if you’re invulnerable, etc.? That why they had to introduce kryptonite to Superman and why Peter Parker was always worried about being unmasked because of what it might do to his poor Aunt May if she had a shock. Murphy and Sapir are early to the superhero game and haven’t yet figured out what Achille’s heel to give their super duo.

Worth reading? Not really. Not even for the titillation factor (oh, you don’t know how much of a pun that is).
