Four-film collection featuring Marvel Comics superheroes.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Hugh Jackman reprises his role as clawed mutant Wolverine (formerly James Logan) in this blockbuster superhero action prequel based on the Marvel comic strip. The film, set over the years leading up to the action of the 2003 'X-Men' movie, follows the young Logan from the first awakenings of his mutant powers in childhood up to his amnesiac rebirth as Wolverine, and recounts his tumultuous relationship with his ferocious half-brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and the events that lead him to sign up to the ominous Weapon X programme.
Daredevil
For Daredevil, justice is blind, and for the guilty there's hell to pay. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner ignite dangerous sparks and nonstop thrills in this "dazzling action-adventure" (The Film Journal) about the newest breed of superhero. By day, blind attorney Matt Murdock (Affleck) toils for justice in Hell's Kitchen. By night, he's Daredevil, The Man Without Fear--a powerful, masked vigilante stalking the dark streets with an uncanny "radar sense" that allows him to "see" with superhuman capabilities. But when the love of his life, fiery Elektra Natchios (Garner), is targeted by New York City's ruthless Kingpin of crime (Michael Clarke Duncan) and his deadly assassin Bullseye (Colin Farrell), Daredevil may be about to meet his match.
Elektra
Jennifer Garner proves that looks can kill as the sexiest action hero to burst from the pages of Marvel Comics. Restored to life after sustaining mortal wounds in Daredevil, an icy, solitary Elektra (Garner) now lives only for death as the world's most lethal assassin. Using her bone-crunching martial arts skills and Kimagure (the ability to see into the future), Elektra is on a collision course with darkness until her latest assignment forces her to make a choice that will lead either to her redemption or destruction in the ultimate battle between good and evil.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Marvel's first family of superheroes, The Fantastic Four, meets their greatest challenge yet in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer as the enigmatic, intergalactic herald, The Silver Surfer comes to Earth to prepare it for its destruction. As he races around the globe wreaking havoc, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben must unravel the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confront the surprising return of their mortal enemy Dr. Doom before all hope is lost.
Tennessee's Thirteenth Union Cavalry was a unit composed mostly of
amateur soldiers that eventually turned undisciplined boys into
seasoned fighters. At the outbreak of the Civil War, East Tennessee
was torn between its Unionist tendencies and the surrounding
Confederacy. The result was the persecution of the "home Yankees"
by Confederate sympathizers. Rather than quelling Unionist fervor,
this oppression helped East Tennessee contribute an estimated
thirty thousand troops to the North. Some of those troops joined
the "Loyal Thirteenth" in Stoneman's raid and in pursuit of
Confederate president Jefferson Davis. Join author Melanie Storie
as she recounts the harrowing narrative of an often-overlooked
piece of Civil War history.

Pre-order this gorgeous novel from a debut voice, that pairs the
perennial love for books about books with themes of family,
loneliness and hope. For forty-three years, Sally Harrison has been
building a library. Each year, on her daughter’s birthday, she
adds a new book to her shelves – with a note in the front
dedicated to her own greatest work. But Ella – Sally’s only
child – fled to Australia twenty-two years ago after a heated
exchange, and never looked back. And though Sally still dutifully
adds a new paperback to the shelves every time the clock strikes
midnight on June 7th, her hopes of her daughter ever thumbing
through the pages are starting to dwindle. Then tragedy strikes and
Ella is forced to return to the home she once knew. She is soon to
discover that when one chapter ends, another will soon follow…
All you have to do is turn the page…
