It is an American remake of the British mini-series from 2006 (the one of 4 episodes only, starring Patrick Stewart aka Captain Picard from the Starship Enterprise :P)). The American series of 18 episodes is definitely more Hollywoodian in style, and adressed to younger public. A government scientist and his attractive counterpart try to save people from deadly scientific experiments... Amateurs of science thrillers, X-Files and secrets-and-evil-scientists will enjoy it. - stovokor Parental guidance. Recommended age 12+
An explosive novel of politics, money, and lies, Marine One expertly mixes political intrigue with courtroom drama and fast-paced action in what will be one of the most talked-about thrillers of the year.

The blurry line between mysteries and thrillers gets even fuzzier in this outstanding anthology of 32 new stories by such top genre names as Lee Child, James Grippando, Denise Hamilton and David Morrell. Patterson, in his introduction, talks about the "intensity of emotions" that thrillers share—as well as "the force with which they hurtle the reader along."
