Low Hard Cervic, But Still Be Pregnant

Doom - Hell On Earth

the street like that. Here we are two to say a few words on "Hell On Earth Doom", the second book of four, I started to review a few posts ago. This second episode was inspired more directly (including the title), class of 1994 by the eponymous videogame dell'immarcescibile idSoftware. If you want to know more about this old game again Wikipedia comes in handy. In contrast, the site IBS offers the back cover of the book:

"They were creatures that looked out from the depths of hell: demons, zombies, fire-breathing devils. All too much like a nightmare to be real creatures. Instead they were all right. And on the inhospitable moons of Mars, Corporal Flynn "Fly" Taggart, the Earth's last line of defense against a seemingly endless supply of alien warriors, he had almost single-handedly defeated. But Taggart discovers that the war has just begun ... because while he was fighting on Mars, the infernal creatures have established a beachhead on Earth. Now, with the help of a fourteen year old hacker, an unrepentant Mormon sniper and the best female soldier of the whole army, Fly Taggart must defeat the invaders and traitors rights - once again ... "

Beautiful, yes. Bello too. Less action and more dialogue in this book that tells the socket of the planet Earth by hostile aliens from Mars (or not?). In addition to Fly and Arlene, we meet the young Jill, one of the best hacker in the world and the Mormon Albert, a former marine and now a man of faith with a certain bias toward action. Together, the four find themselves literally to face hell on Earth, in a world enslaved by aliens and traitors ... Human remarkable beginning of the story, describing how to Fly and Arlene are able to abandon one of the moons of Mars for return to Earth ... and find it flooded.
For the record, the book ends, not in the normal sense of the word: you have to start reading the third (which I will tell you soon) to find out how the story will eventually told in the second.
For this book, that is always the same: if you loved Doom, then it is a must-read. If you like science fiction, there is a good diversion with this book. If neither of these parameters is respected ... then ask me, that I will have a law to do, I post?
