Author Peter Telep made me more of a Descent Fan. By reading the Descent: Stealing Thunder I got more involved with the characters and the story line. Peter gives clear understanding in the world of Descent.

Peter began this epic with Descent. Well, here's the second of the trilogy to come! New characters and shifting character motives keep you guessing at what Dravis is really up to, what he wants, and why the aliens want to take over the Sol System.

Telep's writing is even better than in the previous book, though the editing still didn't come through. I would LOVE to see this in a movie format.

Telep has inspired me in my own writing ventures to not only write what I know, but to do it well. To the Descent community, Mr. Telep, you are a hero.

The first book was excellent; this one was OUTSTANDING! Telep continues on the storyline he started in the first story and improves upon it by adding more characters, more action, and more bad guys. If you're into Descent, get into this book! You won't be dissapointed.

I am amazed. Most writers that make sequels to books end up completley ruining the second book and basically destroying any chanses the series has for a 3rd book. I expected the same when I read this one. I was completley wrong. This book is even better then the first! I was really able to connect with the main charachters better in this one yet it still had all the action a book needs to keep its reader from falling asleep. Definatley buy this one! It's worth it!

It's been almost two years since I bought this book, I've finally taken the time to write a review. All there really is to say is that this book is great. The first one was great, this one is great, and the third is great as well. Buy them all, read them all. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Descent: Stealing Thunder the very good book . 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!

It takes talent to create a believeable tale from a computer game. Even if that game is as rich and immersive as the Descent series is. Peter Telep has that talent and has again allowed us to suspend all disbelief and sit in a shrieking Pyro-GX mine hunter with adrenaline pumping as the lasers stab and the missles fly through the dark corridors of the PTMC mines. AAAARRRRRGGGHHH Whooooo!!! I can't wait for the next in the series.

This book made me read all day. I couldn't put it down and itdidn't have nearly as much action as the first. They just keepgetting better and better!!

I just finished this book last night. The last 40 pgs are so good I stayed up WAY past when I was planning on putting it down. At first I was skeptical of this bood. After all, how can a decent story be written about a computer game? Well, I was proven wrong. Everything was great about this book. Picture-perfect descriptions of settings, a winding, multi-dimentional plot (best part) which was one of the best ever, and fantastic character descriptions make this book worth the time and money. THE NEXT BOOK WILL KICK A$$, the plot will be even more developed, and will tie in to Descent3's already awesome plot.

Really cool book, must buy
