Summary: Good space opera
Review: A great little set of books. Classic space opera in the best tradition of EE "Doc" Smith and co. (of which there's sadly very little these days), set in a world brought to life by the computer game. Before I read these books I thought all novels based on computer games were absolute rubbish but the Doom books have proved me wrong. When are they going to do some more?

Summary: A good book by itself, awesome with the others.
Review: A very good book. While it's nothing like the Doom game, it keeps up the action, expressing fears about our future, and showing what human beings would be like if all they feared was death. Worth any amount of time and money to read it. Endgame manages to be violent and bloody and at the same time, hold a good strong plot. My only complaints: Nothing like to Doom game, and I have returned my copy of this book twice because the manufacturer didn't glue the cover on securely.

Summary: Doom: End Game
Review: Although this is a great book, it is greatly dissapointing when compared to other books in the series. Although the book adds a sense of finality to the series, it leaves too much open in the end. Either there is another book on the way, or End Game was poorly written. Seeing how this book was obviously NOT poorly written, there has to be a book five on the way. If not, then readers should petition that one be made.

Summary: Bad Sci-Fi
Review: Convulsing and confusing book, drifted away from the original Doom story.
This novel is probably better suited for a 14 year-old, not a serious Doom fan. I think Dafydd at this point was running on fumes.

Summary: Am I or am I not reading about DOOM?
Review: Don't be fooled into thinking this is a novel of FINAL DOOM. It isn't. That's actually a shame, however, because the two episodes of that game had fairly interesting plots that would have benefited from a novelization like this. ENDGAME is a continuation of the warped, expanded universe of DOOM that the authors made a huge step toward in the second half of their last outing. ENDGAME takes place exactly where INFERNAL SKY left off, and attempts to chronicle the adventures of Fly Taggart and Arlene Sanders traveling to an alien world.What depresses me the most about this implausible and confusingly plotted book, aside form the elephantine pace, is the fact that it bears absolutley no semblance to any of the DOOM games, of which it claims to be inspirered. I know you must expand a little beyond the horizons of a game to make a novel out of it, which actually augmented the effect of the first two books, but this is my idea of too much. As I said above, it just doesn't feel like DOOM anymore. I honestly feel something is truly lost by doing so. Don't look for "science fiction" in this novel either. A few of the plot elements, although they are interesting, are too ridiculous and implausible to be called anything other than pure fantasy. ENDGAME is not without its assets. The eventual fates of Fly and Arlene are interesting enough to read. They haven't haven't lost their appeal, and when the book opened, I felt as if I was greeting a pair of old friends. Finally, there is a weird but nontheless amusing gimmick in this book which involves Fly and Arlene having their souls "copied" into a computer simulation based on their own memories of the first book (don't ask). This plot twist is funny and intrguing, but doesn't really have a point (other than, say, to make sure the book still has the DOOM logo on its cover). Fly Taggart's narrative is frenetically unsubtle and down right hilarious (a true testiment to his eventual change in character when compared to the first). Things get even funnier, when, for reasons much too complex and ludicrous to be summarized here, Fly begins to "covert" the DOOM monsters to his cause. I liked this part because it was always a fantasy of mine to play as one of the monsters depicted in DOOM or to have one on my side. However, the surrounding plot, which occupies much more of the novel, isn't nearly as interesting as this. It slowly turned into a lumbering bombastic space opera rather than a sci-fi story. More often than not, as I read ENDGAME, I kept thinking to myself, "Am I or am I not reading about DOOM?"

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Don't get me wrong, the book wasn't the worst I have ever read, but it did not follow the plot line. I mean, get serious! DOOM isn't about finding new worlds! It's abotu shooting things. The first and second books kept to the plot, then the third and fourth acted like they had a high and mighty purpose in life. If you want to read a book about discovery, read Star Trek. If you want to read about a bunch of aliens and zombies getting fragged, read DOOM. Or, at least the first two books.

Summary: This is a great book.Lots of action.
Review: DOOM endgame.I really liked the book.It was cool how the newbies evolve so fast.It had a wierd ending but it was better than no ending.isn't it?? It really doesn't go with the doom mood thats why I think knee deep in the dead was better.
