The series didn't really get any better. I read the first 10 books waayy waayy back in mid-70's and gave up because it was just plain awful. I discovered another series around the same time called The Destroyer by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir (gads, I'll have to add that to my favourite authors/books list). They were a lot more interesting and didn't take themselves too seriously. Worth, at the very least, having a look.
The movie Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins which came out in 1985 and centres around the backstory of Remo Williams meeting Chuin is a fun action/comedy and still pretty much holds its own almost 40 years later.

I finished the book, and have no intention of reading any more. The 'hero' had his reasons for going on a vendetta, but IMHO he was an a**hole. I am SO glad I got it here and didn't pay for it.
I tried to wash that out of my head with Where the Shadows Beckon by Gillian Grant because it had good reviews and is new to me. I finished it, but the pacing and inner monologue of the main character wandered and didn't make sense at times. Just not my cup of tea.
So I re-read The Wicked in Me by Suzanne Wright and felt much better afterwards. The heroine Wynter is so much fun to read that I do so every few months. The next book in the series comes out in mid-January and I can't wait!
I remember the Remo Williams movie! I watched it on HBO and got such a kick out of Joel Grey's character. I definitely have fond memories, and wish it had turned into a franchise.
