Descent: Equinox

Rating:
Summary: Rated MY TOP READ!
Review: 'Descent : Equinox' is an action packed novel set in the universe created by INTERPLAY's best-selling game. Based on the stories 'Descent' and 'Descent : Stealing Thunder' before it, it goes into a brilliant personal aspect aswell, delving into the characters own perspectives to give the book a real yet imaginitive feel. Personally, I've read it literally tons of times, but still can't put it down!! A must read for anyone who enjoys an excellent book.

Review: as a marine and not a big sci-fi reader though sci-fi watcher i found all 3 books facinating.i couldnt wait to continue and had a hard time putting the book down would make an excellent movie big or small screen.hope he comes out with more of them.peolple who r critical of the book compared to the game should realise its a very different venue and role playing and reading r 2 different experiences.no book has ever matched its movie has it as the books bring u the thoughts feelings etc of the characters as the games or movies only lead u so far then u guess.i say SEMPER-FI peter and keep em coming a great not to missed series.tothe game players i say get a life come out of cyber of the game and enjoy the book for what it is escapism and relaxation.

Summary: IT'S ENDS WITH A BANG !
Review: Descent: Equinox is the best yet for Peter Telep. He continues to put out great novels. The story carries from Descent: Stealing Thunder and it may continue in the next I hope. It has good strong characters and the story is engrossing. I did not put the book down until I finished it.

Summary: OUT OF THIS WORLD
Review: I just finished reading Descent: Equionx and I enjoyed every chapter of the Mr. Telep's book. He has taken the characters into a whole new view of understanding on St John thinks. I also loved how Mr. Telep took on Descent from the PC Game and turned it into a series. No other author could have done it better. Keep up the good up.

Summary: The best in series.
Review: I'll admit, I never liked the Descent games; I just couldn't get into them. But I could definitely get into this series of books by Peter Telep. The action is none stop, with some hilarious comedy aswell. Benjamin St. John stars in these books. The bad guy, although I think "bad guy" is an understatement, is Samuel Dravis. He is the Director of Crisis Contingency Management and Public Relations for PTMC mining coperation. And he doesnt have to many morals as he tries to become president of PTMC and take out the military organization made to stop him, the CED. Equinox brings in a very interesting character only refered to as the guy with the steel jaw, who is a very very good fighter pilot and unfortunatly works for the PTMC. Him and Benjamin have some amazing fight scenes. Benjamin has a simple mission... Save the earth from being taken over from the PTMC; and to do that he has to get through vicious dog fights, back stabbing and conspiracy.

Definatly a worthy book for any action or space-sim fan. I suggest reading the first two books first though; Descent and Descent: Stealing Thunder. They both are just as good and build up the exciting events. Email me with any questions at [e-mail]

Summary: A Good Book that could of been better
Review: Peter Telep has written great Descent Novels that have thrilled me and made me actaully pick up a book. I eagerly awaited the book after playing Descent3. The book seemed great at first, but it gradually drifted away from the story in the game which I disliked immensly. Some examples were that some of the Descent2 Weapons are still in, and St. John never went to Venus to confront Dravis. This is a good book but could of been so much better.

Rating:
Summary: read it...
Review: Terrible thing to see this book out of print at this time. I hope it goes back into print. It's worth it. If you can get this book then DO SO IMMEDIATELY. If you like the game Descent you must have this book and the two before it. You'll enjoy them, count on it.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS GREATLY OVER-RATED
Review: The book starts out good in the first half but then gets worse and worse. There is too much of constant techno-babble and dogfights that really become boring and irritating. Many things in the plot have nothing to do with the game and are there just to lenghten the story (ex: St. Johns's wife hostage situation etc). Although there is a lot of humor in the book that made me crack up, the rest made me grit my teeth as I struggled to read on. I have come to know every Descent game very well and was greatly disappointed by this book. It could have been a lot better.
