THE AUTHOR
Tom Leo Clancy Jr. was born on 12th April, 1947 in Maryland, United States. He is famous for his espionage and military science writings, not solely that, but the technical details he uses throughout his works. The majority - if not all - of Clancy's work is set during the Cold War and its aftermath. Interestingly, he co-owns Baltimore Orioles, a major US Baseball team!
He studied English Literature though his chief ambition was to serve in the US military, however, he failed an eye exam. As mentioned above, his keen interest in the military can be seen in all of his novels.
His name may sound familiar to you: the video game "Rainbow Six/6" was actually a novel by Clancy. In 2008, Ubisoft bought the right to use his name in video games, and so on.

their lives.
2) Legion
Continuing in pursuit of Red Dwarf the crew of Starbug are captured by a strange looking creature called ?Legion?, but as Legion seems friendly they feel there is no real danger to themselves, and as Legion is a good host, pampering their every needs, they begin to feel at home.

Unfortunately, Legion is not all that it first seemed, soon uncovering its true self, much to the horror of the crew as they discover that Legion is more like themselves than they really cared for.
3) Gunmen of the Apocolypse
Still on the trail of the Red Dwarf mining ship, having come so close to finding it, the crew aboard Starbug are soon running into more troubles when they stumble into a hunting ground, coming into contact with a species who ...
Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions
A selection of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula').
The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired.
For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut.
My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role.
Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take ...
