Summary: X-Men Doctor Doom (Chaos Engine, Book 1)
Review: I liked this book!

This book has many surprises. It's a real thriller. What I liked was that it wasn't a comic book story turned into a novel like what happened with some of the earlier Marvel novels. If I want a Marvel super heroes story in continuity then I'll pick up the comic book. One of the things I've always wanted to see in the Marvel novels is a writer having the courage to try new things. Steve Roman did just that--and he did a great job!

It's a real page-turner. I've got some friends who read suspense books who look down on super hero books and I've been telling them to pick this one up because it's worth it!

The only thing I don't like about the book is the fact that there are so many illustrations. I like Mark Buckingham's artwork, but I think that having all that art takes away from it being a book.

Anyway, I hope to see more books like this--I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how Steve Roman finishes this trilogy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: cant wait for the third book
Review: I've probably read all of the X-men novels out and this trilogy is looking to be as good as the mutant empire one. THe first book set up a dictatorship with Doom and this one shows how Magneto's dream could work and shows sympathy for magneto because he only fight's for his dream. I have no idea how Roman will fix this situation because of the bleak ending. This isn't as action packed as the mutant empire trilogy but the intrigue and suspense is better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I hope the second X-Men movie is better then this book.
Review: Second book in the trilogy kind of falls apart about two chapters in with Magneto being the leader of this new world, Betsy trying to save Warren from dying again, and the other X-Men added solely for second hand drama, the kind you find on the day time soaps. This actually reads more like a poorly written Star Trek novel with numerious techno babble added here and there and the writer falling back on time travel/alternate future storylines to salavage a book that is beyound recovery. One can only hope that these characters are used much more effectively and in a more "Down to Earth" story with the next X-Men movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: X-men vs. Doom? Oh yeah!...
Review: This book is AWESOME! Steve Roman did a good job with the characters and their powers and having the story come together like this. He writes Doom very well, and the way that the story progressed was very cool.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome book
Review: This book is extremely well written, and exciting. A major character dies (not telling which one!) in a creepy and emotional way. I would recommend the entire set of books to any reader who is a fan of the X-Men.

Also, is it just me or does the author put a lot of the locations in the DC/Metro area? I guess he is from there!

Summary: Very Good
Review: This book was not only well written, but it had an interesting concept (what a world ruled by Doctor Doom would look like after ten years).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was better than the first!
Review: This book was so cool because it showed how smart Dr. Doom really is (smarter than that cretin Reed Richards)Even in a place where no weapons can be fired Doom still makes a weapon and eliminates Roma the omniversal majestrix(The supposed protector of the omniverse) The Red Skull also one of my favorite villains defeats the highly over-rated Magneto and Prof. X and gets the Cosmic Cube! In the third one The Red Skull and Dr. Doom (my favorites) will have to fight and The Red Skull has an advantage with the Cosmic Cube, but as we've all seen Dr. Doom has a trick up his sleeve.
