Summary: Thrills! Laughs! Character! Blood!
Review: People who are razzle dazzled by S.D. Perry's sterile and formulatic RESIDENT EVIL series outta pick this book up. This is the most violent and game-based novel of this wonderful series. There are undeniable resemblances to the Doom game. What's amazing is that IT'S NOT JUST A VIOLENT SHOOT-EM UP! The book is written with genuine joy and graceful style. How do these guys manage to keep me reading for 150-pages when it's just ONE guy with no one else to talk to and nothing to do but kill? I don't know.. but these guys did it and IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF DEATH! The story is told from first-person by tough-as-nails Marine Fly Taggart, which is necessary, as Fly's wit and general attitude pull the reader through otherwise tedious sections of pure carnage (see HALO: The Flood). He has a real sense of humor. Of course.. that is dispensible nowadays... But this guy is subtle, witty, and not heavy-handed in his jokes (which aren't even jokes). Just the way he says things is a hoot. Fly is a likeable and believable guy, and he feels like a buddy to us. But beware, those just looking for a good shoot-em up will find themselves lured into the other books of the series, which are far different but still great. Read this book! READ IT!

Summary: "In the Grand Tradition of Heinlein's Starship Troopers..."
Review: thats what it says on the back of the book, and it doesnt fall too short of that promise. it is not quite on par with the writing of heinlein, but it can be reminiscent of smart sf. the characters are intriguing, and who can refuse a good story about zombies? written in the first person (just like the video game) it is a fun read for younger ages, or for people who happen to remember the near-ancient game. reading the book will make you just want to boot up the old floppy drive and follow along, smashing pumpkins into small peieces of putrid debris and what-not. i own all 4 books in the series. this one is by far the most loyal to the games. Yours Truly...

Summary: Uhh...
Review: When he saw that I had bought this book, my father, after a bout of forehead slapping, was making snide jokes about it's content. "He ran out from around a corner and shot a demon. He picked up health and shot another demon. He took three points of damage, switched to a shotgun and killed a demon." Sadly, this is the basic premise of the novel. If you like stuff like this, stick to the Aliens novel series, at least it has some substance, however little.

Summary: I simply could not put it down
Review: Excellent, I have read it three times now and I still cant seem to put it down when its time to stop reading and do other things. I also highly recommend the sequel which is nearly as excellent and incorporates new characters and twists in the plot, it truley takes brilliant authors to alter a plot so simple to make it so very interesting and colorful.

Summary: A classic game, a sappy but entertaining novel
Review: I remember the day I walked into Borders and saw this book on the shelf. It was 1995 and I thought Doom was the best thing in the world. So I bought it on impulse. Capturing the the mood and tension of the game, Knee-Deep in the Dead is surprisingly good. Full of action and comedy, the main character 'Fly' Taggart is actually a very likable character. The mystery of the demon invasion and the horror that ensues makes for an entertaining read. It's a wonder how the writer managed to screw up the series with Infernal Sky and EndGame so badly when this book turned out to be so entertaining. In any case, the book follows the plot of the game pretty well, and ends with the door blown wide open for the inevitable sequel: Hell on Earth, which was also relatively well written. Credit must go to the author: A decent book based on a classic, mindless shoot 'em up slaughterfest that had little plot to begin with. I still think, 7 years later, that its a fairly decent book and great for a time-killer or weekend read.

Summary: Doom:Knee Deep in the Dead worth hunting down...
Review: First of all, let me say that if you're a big Doom fan or just getting into it, do yourself a favor and get this book. Knee Deep in the Dead is extrememly well written and one of those types of books you can put down as you wonder what is going to happen next. Especially with Doom 3 on the horizon for the PC, you owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself with series. It's awesome.

Summary: An excellent novelization
Review: Brilliant!! What can I say? After playing the game, I found it hard that anyone could write a book so captivating about the game. Sure, it has monsters, cool guns and numerous other details but this book is so much more. Cool characters, excellent plots and brilliant fighting scenes fill this book from cover to cover. Read it or be sorry!
