1. Welcome to our forum. Feel free to discuss anything related to science fiction; in particular our great science fiction series. But we're open to all sorts of relevant subjects, because we'd like you to hang out and enjoy yourselves.

    About Rockoids II: As some of you know, co-author Grayson Steinberg now lives and works in Madrid, and hence only visits his family during the summer months. Last summer, Gene and Grayson completed Book II, at last, and resumed work on Book III, about which you'll hear more soon. Book II is in final production form, and we await the new cover design. We'll then offer it for sale. Thanks for your patience.

    I saw the first one, and I thought it was decent if grisly. I haven't seen the sequels. Anyone else?

    Sounds like a bit of a retread, right? It doesn't seem as if that flick lasted in the theaters. Was it direct to DVD?

    The original story came from Robert Heinlein, one of the all-time science fiction greats.

    The first movie was directed by Paul Verhoeven, who became famous as director of Basic Instinct, which made Sharon Stone a star, and, of course, Total Recall, one of my favorites.

    Ive only seen the first one but i liked the Dark Humour. I think it's a satire on war.

    Enemy of the State was directed by Tony Scott and written by David Marconi.

    Since you asked. :)

    Yes, but frighteningly close to the truth as far as surveillance is concerned.
