ANNE MANX AND THE RING OF MINOTOUR

Claudia Christian (of TV's "Babylon 5") is back in her second adventure as the futuristic detective Anne Manx. In this adventure the nine-lived detective seeks to avenge the murder of her lover and to foil the plans of Jean Richmond (Pat Tallman, also of "Babylon 5"). Richmond has obtained the fabled Ring of Minotaur and plans to use it to achieve immortality. Alexandra Tydings (Aphrodite of TV's "Xena") plays Charlotte Miller, a greedy anthropologist. The story is entertaining and well-produced, if a bit over the top, with Claudia Christian giving the most endearing performance in this hard-boiled sci-fi adventure. S.E.S.
