WWII crime thriller starring Billy Zane. Commandeering a former royal castle on the outskirts of Frankfurt in 1945, army lovers Colonel Jack Durant (Zane) and Lt. Kathleen Nash (Lyne Renee) uncover a secret horde of priceless gems. Determined to smuggle their prize back into the US, their plans soon run into complications, however, at the hands of military investigators and a particularly ruthless underworld don.
In 1910, Dr. John Watson travels to Egypt with his wife Juliet. Her tuberculosis has returned and her doctor recommends a stay at a sanitarium in a dry climate. But while his wife undergoes treatment, Dr. Watson bumps into an old friend - Sherlock Holmes, in disguise and on a case. An English Duke with a penchant for egyptology has disappeared, leading to enquiries from his wife and the Home Office. Sherlock Holmes has discovered that the missing duke has indeed vanished from his lavish rooms in Cairo and that he was on the trail of a previous undiscovered and unopened tomb. And that he's only the latest Egyptologist to die or disappear under odd circumstances. With the help of Howard Carter, Holmes and Watson are on the trail of something much bigger, more important, and more sinister than an errant lord.

For their fourth big-screen outing the crew of the USS Enterprise abandon their usual 23rd century time frame for Earth in the year 1986. In order to save the planet from a rogue space probe in the future, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Bones (DeForest Kelley) and co must travel back to the twentieth century to find the only creature capable of communicating with it: a whale. The story is given comic treatment - Spock hides his Vulcan ears with a headband and poses as a burnt-out hippy, while the normally intrepid Kirk gets lost on a bus.

A Posthumous Memoir of John H. Watson, M.D., as Edited by Nicholas Meyer "As authentically, irresistably gripping as anything Conan Doyle ever wrote. . . . Don't miss it." Cosmopolitan Some of the theater district's most fashionable and creative luminaries have been involved: a penniless stange critic and writer named Bernard Shaw; Ellen Terry, the gifted and beautiful actress; a suspicious box office clerk named Bram Stoker; an aging matinee idol, Henry Irving; an unscrupulous publisher calling himself Frank Harris; and a controversial wit by the name of Oscar Wilde. Scotland Yard is mystified by what appear to be unrelated cases, but to Sherlock Holmes the matter is elementary: a maniac is on the loose. His name is Jack. "Beguiling and convincing entertainment, an audacious novelty that should set members of the Baker Street Irregulars and even less fanatical collectors of Holmes to dancing." San Francisco Chronicle "I hope Nicholas Meyer never stops writing Sherlock Holmes pastiches because he does it so much better than anyone else." The New Republic "Ingenious and persuasive." Philadelphia Inquirer
With his international bestseller The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, Nicholas Meyer brought to light a previously unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes, as recorded by his amanuensis, Dr. John H. Watson. Now Meyer returns with a shocking discovery - an unknown case drawn from a recently discovered Watson journal. January 1905: Holmes and Watson are summoned by Holmes' brother Mycroft to undertake a clandestine investigation. An agent of the British Secret Service has been found floating in the Thames, carrying a manuscript smuggled into England at the cost of her life. The pages purport to be the minutes of a meeting of a secret group intent on nothing less than taking over the world. Based on real events, the adventure takes the famed duo - in the company of a bewitching woman - aboard the Orient Express from Paris into the heart of Tsarist Russia, where Holmes and Watson attempt to trace the origins of this explosive document. On their heels are desperate men of unknown allegiance, determined to prevent them from achieving their goal. And what they uncover is a conspiracy so vast as to challenge Sherlock Holmes as never before.
Here, Meyer shares with readers how he created the script for 'The Wrath of Khan', the most revered 'Star Trek' film of all, in 12 days - only to have William Shatner proclaim he hated it. He also reveals the death threats that he received when word got out that Spock would be killed, and much more.
