Doomsday Warrior is the best book ever! I have read it about 3 times and it is still awesome! It's thrilling, suspenseful, and Action - Packed. There is only one thing wrong, though. I am only 11 years old, and the book has a lot of things that someone my age would think are gross. You know what I mean.....

I read Doomsday Warrior and fell into the trap, reading the other 25 or so to follow. They are good enough to read, but definately more pulp than literature. If you like the futuristic doomsday setting complete with mutants, evil agents from other defunct societies, sex, and fast-paced battle you will enjoy the read, otherwise don't even think about it. Pretty run of the mill as postwar books go, but some highpoints. This type of book is more for the high-schooler than anyone else.

Good book that will keep you reading. Only bad thing is that there's 19 of them. I only read the first one, and want to read the rest but I dont know if I will...

I actually read #3 and #4 before I read the first 2 and I was hooked after that. Its a futuristic battle of good vs evit and it will keep you entrapped until the last page and leave you begging for more. The only problems I had with these books are 1) The Rock can do just about anything except kill the ultimate evil, Col Killov. and 2)Rock gets captured and escapes in just about every book.

Don't get me wrong, I love this genre of literature. the idea for the series sounds great. The problem I have with the series is that it is just too over the top. Ted Rockson is apparently able to do anything in these books and often does, to the point of absurdity. It seems that there seriously is only one man that can save america from the russians, ted rockson! The author of the novels seems to write it so that the only american in the novel that understands combat tactics is rockson, in the 1st chapter of the 1st book he pulls off some stuff that is so insanely over the top that it was real hard for me to continue reading. The author also goes to great lengths to insure that the hero of the story is also the most interesting character in the book, he has eyes of 2 different colors and a stripe of white hair down the middle of his regular black hair. Also the author for some reason thinks that 9mm is the coolest ammo in the world, often having the characters use their 9mm "liberators" for uses that the ammo is not designed or good for. The use of grenades by the characters is stupid also, one character is written as pulling the pins on 2 grenades and throwing them at helicopters. it should have been written as he attempted to pull the pin on a grenade with his teeth and yanked out 2 of his teeth and then the helicopter shot him for being an idiot. So if you want a book packed full of miracle shots, a godlike hero completely surrounded by a bumbling renegade american force that relies soley on him for ideas, and idiotically over the top action sequences, this book is for you. or your children, whatever. just don't buy it full price.
