I had no idea at the time that it was based on an already-existing IP.
This one.
Well, when I say that I'm honestly not sure whether this came first or not (but suspect it did), with the first of the two stories collected here incredibly close to what happens in that movie: enough, at points, to make me wonder was this a novelisation rather than the basis for the movie. (That, by the way, it later dispelled somewhat when the two stories veer off on different tangents).
Anyway, this is an OK read, with a rather misleading cover - unlike the rocket pack that Cliff Secord discovers, there's really nothing new or all that special here!
