Whoops!

Like you, I'm familiar with Colossus mainly from the movie.

I didn't even read through all the descriptions. I figured it was a case where the author had a standalone book, it was turned into a movie and voila! the author suddenly had the inspiration to knock out a couple of B grade sequels.

And now that I've actually read through the synopsis of those sequels... well, maybe they're so bad they're good!
