Yes currently region 1. They are sold directly on the Warner's website http://www.wbshop.com/Doc-Savage%3a-...l?cgid=ARCHIVE

Warner in their recent public chat promised to have other region available in a few weeks. :fingerscrossed:

Opening sequence is a little too magenta for me, but the rest was an extraordinary transfer. Compared to the LaserDisc version (which I have), the detail is amazing. you can see teh herringbones and subtle plaids in the suits...

Excellent, crossing fingers for a Region 2 release to replace my ancient, not working anymore, VHS taped-off-the-telly copy

I'm not sure if you can buy them any longer, and my ebook search for them came up empty, but here's a Wikipedia entry on them:

I didn't realize there were so many of them out there. No ebooks! Argh!

Thanks!

I cringe to admit it
Have you tried Clive Cussler? I would consider them very Indiana Jones'ish. They are fun adventure stories, while admitidly being highly improbable. Anyway ever so often I grab one when I was something that doesn't require alot of thought.

Clive Cussler also is nice for an audio book, when on long drives.

Another option similar to Clive Cussler would be Ted Bell's Alexander Hawke series. I think they are all available in Ebook format. I have read the first 4 and they were decent, similar to Cussler's Dirk Pitt.

Also James Rollins books are good adventure type tales. I have read a couple and they were decent. I think I read Map of Bones and one other, maybe called Subterrainean or something similar to that.

I have read most of Mathew Reilly's stuff who was previously mentioned and they were pretty entertaining.

I am sure there is more I have read of this type but I can't remember at the moment, lol.

Actually, I've just been reading Boyd Morrison's "The Ark", which I'd recommend as being worth a look in that vein.

They're mentioned elsewhere in the Freebies section & the author's recently joined MR, I believe. The books are currently available as Mobi, PDF or online HTML but I understand that ePub versions are due to be added in a few days or so.

[Edit] And are now available there in ePub too...
