Grimm Posted January 9, 2004 The title may sound odd, heh, but I'm looking for books in the same style as the first Doom book, Knee-Deep in the Dead, before he meets Arlene. That was the first time I had ever seen that style of writing, being all alone in with death lurking around the corner, very suspenseful, and I haevn't that style since. I'd appreciate it if anyone could inform me of books in that style. Considering how crappy the authors were, I doubt they invented it. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted January 9, 2004 I saw these resident evil books in Barnes and Noble once. I never actually read any of them, but that's sort of a similar concept... 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 10, 2004 I vaguely recall that on the backside the book said "in the style of Starship Troopers," so you could try Robert Heinlein's book. I haven't read it myself (only saw the movie.) The concept you're mentioning is DOOM's basic premise, and we could say it comes from Aliens. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted January 10, 2004 Starship Troopers isnt very suspensful. It's more like reading an autobiography. Still interesting though. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted January 10, 2004 Grimm you're British aren;t you? Get your ass down to your local forbidden planet, or failing that just go down the library where half the sci-fi section will be similarly written space-operas. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grimm Posted January 10, 2004 Nah, I'm American. Huh . . . I can't believe no one can come up with any examples. Perhaps, then, Knee-Deep in the Dead deserves more credit than it gets . . . On a side note, anyone ever read Brahm Stoker's Dracula? I have a feeling it actually might be kinda similar to Knee-Deep in the Dead, and I want to read it besides . . . 0 Share this post Link to post

The book owned the hell out of the movie. I got all excited for the movie, but then I was just like "what the fuck?" 0 Share this post Link to post
