Rating: Summary: Good, But Not Great Review: After I read the first 2 outstanding books in the Doom series, I was expecting another great book by Dafydd ab Hugh. The book had alot things in it that could have been alot better. Still, the book is okay. Pretty much your average book.

Rating: Summary: Going downhill ... Review: Am I still reading about Doom? Is this still about the game's storyline?
Doesn't seem like it. As you progress through, the author seems to drift further and further away from what iD wanted Doom to be all about. This would be perfectly OK if the sci-fi plot was better.
If you want to remain with the story that the videogame sketched, you shouldn't read this book, you should stop at volume two. If you're curious what the author has to offer, I guess you could keep reading.
I didn't rate this book like so because it's drifting away from the original storyline, I gave it this rating because I didn't think it's that great of a scifi book, plain and simple.
Rating: Summary: This book is lacking in some areas, but great book anyways. Review: Here it is, the third novel in the almighty Doom series. It is probably the worst one in the series (the others were better, but this one isn't bad by any means), but it is a good book anyways. The beginning part in Hawaii, the return to Phobos, and the scientists' naming of the enemies (they actually used the real creatures' names) made this book worth the moolah to buy it, or just to complete the series. Overall good but not the best of the four.
Rating: Summary: I stand by my review: this is THE best book of the series Review: I guess people have a problem with change. One has to be a really open minded reader to really consume this whole series and like every bit of it. This book is completly different from KNEE-DEEP IN THE DEAD. It has been criticized for having nothing to do with DOOM. Like I said before, you can only stretch DOOM'S paper-thin story into so many pages before it gets repetitive. This book bridges the gap between the 2nd and 4th books. The 4th book, which I will review later, is one wild trip.INFERNAL SKY drops a huge bombshell on the reader: Fly and Arlene must travel to the Aliens homeworld to destroy them. When they get back, however, 200 years will have passed on Earth. Wow. If you are into this series and really sympathize with these characters, this is a huge and mind-bending developement. The latter half of the book is genuine sci-fi adventure, and for readers who originally picked up the series, this is just too much to digest: it's so different from the original book. But personally, I like it. I like it A LOT. There isn't much to say about the wit or humor in this book; it takes itself quite a bit more seriously than the originals. Again, my star review is misleading. I doubt most people enjoyed this book as much as I did, so although I am awarding it 5 stars, I only modestly recommend it. Although, if you have made it this far into the series, it would be a shame to stop. If you read book 1 and 2, and liked book 2, read this and ENDGAME. I recommend finding ENDGAME first, however.. It's torture if you can't get it to find out what happens after this one!
