Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

The Gates were there on Phobos when mankind first arrived. Inert, unyielding, impossibly alien constructs, for twenty years they sat lifeless, mute testaments to their long-vanished creators, their secrets hidden. Then one day, they sprang to life... Meet Corporal Flynn Taggart, United States Marine Corps; serial number 888-23-9912. He's the best warrior the twenty-first century has to offer, which is a damn good thing. Because Flynn Taggart is all that's standing between the hell that just dropped in on Mars and an unsuspectingg planet Earth...
