Christopher Lee put on the mantle of the Count inside the Star Wars universe while counting through multiple layers associated with the personal 9 year. Traditionally the 9 vibration is referred to as a final year in a complete cycle, when confrontation, defense and 'shedding' compose a first priority topic of import. Letters of credit are reckoned, the bottom line is clear, and the balancing ledger is wiped out so new accounts can be put together in the following 1 vibration year. [Example: Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku severs Anakin's arm and in Revenge of the Sith Darth Tyranus loses both hands and is dispatched to other dimensions by Anakin as directed by the Chancellor.]

Any Christopher Lee fan will be delighted with this book. So will anyone who enjoyed Rigby's English Gothic, a definitive history of the horror film in England. Rigby is ideally placed to write the autobiography of one of England's leading horror stars - although Lee himself would sigh philosophically at being ... pigeon-holed. Working from primary sources, and numerous interviews with his subject, Rigby provides a literate, witty and highly authoritative overview of the life and work (they're virtually synonymous) of this great English star. Full of detail, the book provides the inside story, balancing a respectful tone with some refreshingly honest criticism of the actor's weaker films. It never sinks into sycophancy, so the reader tends to respect Rigby's judgements.

Born in England on May 27, 1922, Lee attended Wellington College for three years, and then worked as a office clerk in a couple of London shipping companies. He subsequently enlisted in the RAF during the Second World War and, on finishing his army services, sought to become an actor. He struggled initially in his new career because he was discriminated as being taller than the leading male actors of his time and being too foreign-looking. However, it was when playing the monster in the Hammer film, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) that proved to be a blessing in disguise, since the movie did successfully, leading to him being signed on for future roles in Hammer Films Productions.
