Don't worry chaps, this will be a vision of hell that not only matches Doom but is literally a place so horrifying a man could lose his mind.

The Doom Marine in my mind is, as you say, an anti-hero, but since he has to stand against hell on his own and retain his sanity to some extent, he has the capacity for heroism which goes way beyond a normal person's, but he isn't touchy-feely. The Event Horizon character is actually a good parallel, but Doom Man isn't just a man doing a job, he will risk his life and soul for people he doesn't know.

I don't even want to think about fundamental Christians, but I should be ok since I don't live in America. I know a lot of Christians and Christian organisations in the UK, and as far as I know, none of them would be bothered about a Doom novel. After all, it's about Satan's minions getting mown down. It's not exactly a "how to" manual for demon worship any more than Rambo 2 is supposed to be a travel brochure for Vietnam.

EDIT: As for work rate, I managed to get four story submissions to the Black Library in 2 weeks and that includes a lot of slacking, days out and Minecraft. My work rate is pretty serious when I actually get down to it.

Bear in mind that the main character cannot truly revel in the death of his enemies: he is supposed to be fighting for the forces of good (although this doesn't become a simple, cliched battle against good and evil). The sadism comes from the demons. But don't worry, the Doom Marine still enjoys kicking demon arse.
