5.0 out of 5 stars Infernal Sky takes an unexpected and favored turn in style, December 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Infernal Sky (Doom) (No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
The third installment of the DOOM series will unexpectantly take a sharp turn from the style of the previous two books. While the previous books were filled with suspense and action and the usual slash-and-shoot genre, the third installment takes an academic step up from the rest and focuses around the mentality of the characters. Subjects such as what the charater thinks and believes now in the after-math of the battle is focused, and you start to see the deeper side of the once before cool-as-ice Marine. Granted, the world cannot be torn apart by demons from hell and the characters be expected to have the same views as before. The novel mostly focuses now on the emotional value of the battle between good and evil. Thats not to say that Infernal Sky is not without its action sequences. But the previous readers buying this installment expecting the usual blow the hell outta anything that moves attitude are going to be surprised.

2.0 out of 5 stars It goes downhill from here, folks..., July 22, 2002
By 
Michael Pappalardo (Ronkonkoma, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Infernal Sky (Doom) (No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Knee-Deep in the Dead and Hell on Earth were surprisingly great reads, but Infernal Sky marks the downfall of the Doom novel series.

Taking the battle from Earth to somewhere in outer space, we discover that the 'Demon Invaders' are actually the product of an agressive alien species. A band of survivors on Earth get a transmission from an alien species claiming to be friendly, and the book steadily declines from there. The group of heroes are transported to the home of 'Sears and Roebuck'(don't ask), a pair of alien beings who seek to help the group fight off the menace.

The author just seems to lose all grip he had on the concept of Doom. The scary thing about Doom is the concept of battling Demons from Hell. Revealing them to be simple creations of an alien species really doesn't sit well with me. Everything that made the first two books good, such as tension, atmosphere and mystery, just disappears. The story becomes convoluted and ridiculous, becoming more unbeleivable as it goes(as if that were possible) and just succeeds in dulling the senses. Had I not been such a big fan of Doom back when I first read it, I would've put the book down before I was half-way finished.

I simply think the series could've been so much more. The first two books were so entertaining, but Infernal Sky and Endgame just completely ruin it. I'm sorry to say that a potentially good series was ruined before it really achieved its full potential.

2.0 out of 5 stars Going downhill ..., September 2, 2004

This review is from: Infernal Sky (Doom) (No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Am I still reading about Doom? Is this still about the game's storyline?
Doesn't seem like it. As you progress through, the author seems to drift further and further away from what iD wanted Doom to be all about. This would be perfectly OK if the sci-fi plot was better.
If you want to remain with the story that the videogame sketched, you shouldn't read this book, you should stop at volume two. If you're curious what the author has to offer, I guess you could keep reading.
I didn't rate this book like so because it's drifting away from the original storyline, I gave it this rating because I didn't think it's that great of a scifi book, plain and simple.
