Book Description

Publication Date: 18 Jun 2001 | ISBN-10: 0743423542 | ISBN-13: 978-0743423540 | Edition: First Printing
Lara Croft is a tomb raider -- a smart, sexy adventurer who gets her kicks unearthing the mysteries of the ancients. Bryce is the rumpled techno-wizard who keeps her in cutting-edge equipment.

Nowhere is the nature of their relationship more evident than in the affectionate bickering the two engage in as Bryce cobbles together the "toys" Lara will need to survive her greatest adventure.

Here is your chance to dig behind the scenes of "Tomb Raider," the globe-spanning Paramount Pictures summer blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie. See how Lara Croft came by her devastating array of gear, gadgets and gravel-spitting vehicles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not your average tech manual 29 Jun 2001
By Luis Mestre
Format:Paperback
If you were expecting a high class tech manual it all the specifications about the tecnology that Lara uses around the world you're Wrong. This tech book it's more like a mini story how she get the stuff she uses in the movie. and how bryce got the idea for them. The book it's only pictures and small notes. Like conversation betwen them. about what gadjets? you'l just have to read them to know. You'll enjoy the book if you're a Lara Fan. Otherwhise maybe this tech book it's not for your... maybe the novelization by Mel Odom?? :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Read - Mostly Photos 24 May 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Don't purchase the book if you expect a highly detailed technical manual (such as the Star Trek Technical Manuals). The book is layed out between concept art drawings and movie stills showing the final product. What was interesting was to see some products that were designed but not used (I assume since at the time of this writing I haven't seen the movie yet).

In addition there's a running conversation between Lara and Bryce (her high tech provider) that provide the text of the book. Not much there.

Quick read. In the end it's mostly eye candy than anything else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Considerable dissapointment 16 Oct 2006
By J. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I read this book and kept expecting to see diagrams and descriptions of things that nobody else but the Countess could possibly have had, some of the unusually high-tech equipment that she used in the film, the highly specialized things reminiscent of Batman. But her high-tech binoculars and her high-tech piton pistol were NOT SHOWN. There were only things like her .45-caliber pistols. I mean, come on! I can identify the *gunsmith* already. There was nothing particularly unusual about them, one can even get them as toys! Why would anyone be particularly interested in them? Then there was her run-of-the-mill BORING BORING huge Land Rover. Pfagh! A sop to the foolish masses who are interested in accursed immoral *monster trucks*! A gas mask. Gas masks are not unusual. A stupid, unrealistic robot. A security system. What is interesting or unusual about a security system? Gloves, boots, *clothing*? I have no interest in what clothing the Countess chooses to wear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining... 21 Oct 2003
By T. Shioji - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you're a fan of the Tomb Raider movie, I'd recommend it. It was very entertaining to read and there were lots of detailed pictures (close ups of her guns, motorcycle get up - helmet, glove, boot) a nice shot of the Land Rover and all the gadgets and nick nacks inside... I kinda wish they'd release one for the "Cradle of Life" there were even MORE gadgets and cool "toys" in that one!
