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.

'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.

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

this story takes the "pulse pounding" adventure of descent the video game series to the next level. very involving. extends the plot and explores the space opera of descent. you can't put it down until you're done!

I just finished reading Descent: Equionx and I enjoyed every chapter of the Mr. Telep's book. He has taken the characters into a whole new view of understanding on St John thinks. I also loved how Mr. Telep took on Descent from the PC Game and turned it into a series. No other author could have done it better. Keep up the good up.

This book is, by far, the best in the series (as most books at the end of a trilogy are supposed to be). Benjamin St. John, the main charachter in this book, does some pretty amazing stuff. You should definatley buy it! Along with the other two, descent and stealing thunder. All togeather, they form possibly the best trilogy ever created about a computer game.

Terrible thing to see this book out of print at this time. I hope it goes back into print. It's worth it. If you can get this book then DO SO IMMEDIATELY. If you like the game Descent you must have this book and the two before it. You'll enjoy them, count on it.

as a marine and not a big sci-fi reader though sci-fi watcher i found all 3 books facinating.i couldnt wait to continue and had a hard time putting the book down would make an excellent movie big or small screen.hope he comes out with more of them.peolple who r critical of the book compared to the game should realise its a very different venue and role playing and reading r 2 different experiences.no book has ever matched its movie has it as the books bring u the thoughts feelings etc of the characters as the games or movies only lead u so far then u guess.i say SEMPER-FI peter and keep em coming a great not to missed series.tothe game players i say get a life come out of cyber of the game and enjoy the book for what it is escapism and relaxation.

Descent : Equinox the best book in the space. You must have it! Who love game series DESCENT, founded in this book all what want. The best design of this book give pleasure when get it in hands. Well, I'm happy have this book!

With the third installment of the Descent book. Peter has maintained his presence as a leader in writing science fiction novels. I read the first chapter to the last and I found myself in the world of PTMC. It has great storyline and I loved all the characters and even hated a few. I cannot wait for the next Descent novel.
