Description
Ruby is too hot to handle, and Remo is being ordered to play fireman. But friendship comes first, even to a Master of Sinanju, and Remo is steaming mad. Mad enough, in fact, to walk out. It's out of the frying pan and into the fire because Chiun, deferring to tradition, refuses to quit CURE. And they both know that soon he could be hot on Remo's tail. But the heat's really on when Remo meets up with Sparky, a walking Molotov cocktail. New York firefighters are walking off the job, and an show more arson gang, with Sparky in tow, has decided to strike while the iron's hot. Unless they receive the ransom they demand, they'll turn the city into the biggest backyard barbecue in history. show lessTags

A perfect summer read - short, quick, and fun! It's the same ol' line up, Remo, Chiun, Smith, Ruby, CURE and the ancient art of Sinanju! This time, they are up against Solly and Sparky, who like to set fires where they shouldn't! Sparky can do it all by himself, sort of a natural human torch! Like I said, fun and quick!
