Summary: Not what you'd expect
Review: When I first saw this book lying on the shelf of the area's Waldenbooks, I laughed. I thought, "How could they make a
book about one of the best action games ever made for the
computer. A game that entails nothing but slaughter." I thought that the book would be funny to read so I bought it.
Got home and started reading the book. Didn't stop reading
it until I was done with the book. And then the only thing
I could say was Wow. The book not only adds the complete
story as to how Space Marines came to be fighting all these
monsters, but it throws in a whole cast of new characters and a well made plot. If you are a fan of the game, get the book. If you aren't a fan of the game but like action books, get the book. If you aren't a fan of the book, and you aren't a fan of action books, get a life.

Summary: A good action title that's worthy of the name DOOM
Review: Finally, we get to see a good storyline for DOOM! This bookis a good read, with plenty of flashbacks and detaileddescriptions of monsters and battles. It even throws in some tense moments between Fly (our hero) and his buddy, Arlene.. The novel also reminds us of how soldiers can sometimes get cocky after a long battle, and how easily one can be killed unexpectedly during a war. All in all, a action-packed fragfest with a healthy dose of human interaction in the mix.

Summary: Very Much Alive
Review: Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver's "DOOM: Knee Deep In the Dead" is without a shade of doubt the best of DOOM-inspired fiction, surpassing even its three sequels. While admittedly unrealistic, the action is well paced, the narrative tense and suspenseful. It was interesting to observe how the writers attempted to expand the DOOM universe while staying true to its video-game roots as the game that really ignited the first-person-shooter genre.The plot is simple and very much the same as the original game. Corporal Flynn Taggart "or 'fly'" is marooned on the moon of Phobos. Making the grisly discovery that his whole unit of marines has been slaughtered by hostile aliens while he stood guard outside the deserted Union Aerospace Corporation facility, Corporal Taggart must enter the facility not only to secure a way back to Earth but to uncover the cause behind this massacre. What he discovers is nothing less than chilling. Written in the First Person Perspective, the style of the novel is reminscient of the original DOOM PC game, and with a rollicking narrative punctuated with both staccato bursts of gunfire and a generous dollop of light-hearted Sci-fi fantasy, "Knee Deep in The Dead" while not particularly deep is nevertheless a fantastic read with a wide and surprising emotional range-much unlike most other offerings in the genre-.
A fine book.

Summary: My first fictional book
Review: This is my first fictional book. I usually read books on college grad ranging from "Algebra & Trigonometry", all the way to "Super Strings and the theory of everything". When I first heard of the book series, I didn't think to much on it, but within a week it intreeged me so much I had to buy it. So I did, from Amazon. I recived my book, about 3 days ago, and I am on page 100, chapter 14. I read this book whenever I can, even at my work. The book averages 7.57r pages per chapter with 33 chapters. I also have the other 3 books. I got mine from alldirect_com . It took 11 days to get here but was well worth the wait. Its a great book and you should read it.

Summary: the little book that could [it didnt have any rocks]
Review: I'm a pretty big SF fan (and a doom fan), so I decided to give the first book a try. After reading through it, I can safely warn you that this is a horrible book. Reading this is like watching somebody else play a boring video game. And that's not all. It's repetitive too. You would think that they could make a decently complex story or something with at least a shred of creativity, but they didn't. "Guy comes into room. Guy Kills monsters in room. Guy picks up weapons/powerups in room. Guy leaves room". Now multiply that by 60, add on a short, boring beginning, and a short, bad ending and you have the first doom book. There are just too many other books out there to justify reading this "story". Try Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein (if you like the whole space marine thing) or Prey by Michael Crichton (if you like the whole techno-thriller thing).
