Book Description

October 1, 1999
With the galaxy exploding all around him and humanity itself in jeopardy, Pyro-jockey Ben St.John knows who the real enemy is-the traitor who cost Ben his wife and his future; the megalomaniac who sent him off to die and reduced him to a galactic renegade with no allies except a handful of star-wanderers and misfits; the undisputed power behind the most awesome corporate entity in the solar systemand beyond: his former employer, Samuel Dravis of the Post Terran Mining Corporation.

Dravis doesn't want much. Only the universe and its vast, inexhaustible wealth. And now he's taking no prisoners-unleashing a terrible new generation of weaponry and viruses; letting loose an unstoppable private army of drones dedicated to doing his dark bidding; and mastering an indefensible system of mind control that will make his defeat all but impossible. In other words, taking Dravis down is the perfect job for Ben St. John, who wants his foe's head and has absolutely nothing left to lose. From the lethal labyrinths of Mars' Red Acropolis Research Facility to the unseen terrors of the Sirius System, Ben's ready to plow through all of his enemy's impregnable defenses-just to prove to Dravis that old Marines don't fade awaythey keep getting in your face!

5.0 out of 5 stars A NONE-STOP THRILL RIDE!, December 14, 1999
By 
David (Clarksville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Descent: Equinox (Mass Market Paperback)
This is twice as good as stealing thunder and has three times the action and plot of the original Descent. This is definately going to be the series that I recommend to all my friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rated MY TOP READ!, January 9, 2001
By 
Andrew Cox (Havelock North, New Zealand, Oceania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Descent: Equinox (Mass Market Paperback)
'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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in series., October 12, 2000
This review is from: Descent: Equinox (Mass Market Paperback)
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 nightfall27@hotmail.com
