Product Description
THE ORIGINAL HEAVY METAL HERO

Millionaire industrialist Tony Stark’s genius for designing and building high-tech, ultradestructive weapons for America’s armed forces has inspired critics to dub him the modern-day Leonardo da Vinci–as well as “merchant of death,” a moniker he embraces with cool arrogance. But when he’s ambushed and kidnapped in the middle of a war zone, Stark comes face-to-face with his own mortality . . . and his true destiny. Now, thanks to him, enemy forces are about to meet their maker. And the world of warfare is about to meet its future–a weapon of mass destruction that walks and talks. When man and machine unite, it can only mean one thing: It’s time to stand ready or stand back–but don’t stand in the way, or else risk the mighty metallic fury of . . .

About the Author
Peter David’s novels include the fantasies Tigerheart, Sir Apropos of Nothing, Wode to Wuin, and Knight Life, and the quirky werewolf story Howling Mad. He is famous for writing some of the most popular of the original Star Trek: The Next Generation novels, including Imzadi and A Rock and a Hard Place, as well as the official novel of the movie Spider-Man. He single-handedly revived the classic comic book series The Incredible Hulk and has written just about every famous comic book superhero, including Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, and the futuristic Spider-Man 2099, and has scripted the bestselling “Gunslinger Born” graphic adaptation of the acclaimed Stephen King Dark Tower series. He collaborated with J. Michael Straczynski on the Babylon 5 novels and comic book series, and with Bill Mumy, he created the Nickelodeon television series Space Cases. In his spare time, he writes movie screenplays, children’s books, and TV scripts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, Better Movie, July 1, 2008
Having been based on the original script for the movie, the book is excellent. It fills in a lot of gaps and loop holes that the movie slid over, making it a must-read for fans.

It is, however, much more dark and angry than the movie, which deflated the excitement I felt from the film.

If you're a fan of the series, pick up this book. If you're a fan of the movie, skip it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun companion to the movie, May 22, 2008
By Jesse Jackson "Reader of Stuff" (Lewisville, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Peter David is one of my favorite writers so I'm not a totally unbiased reviewer (but when has that stopped anyone on the internet). I always enjoy his novelizations. Peter has the ability to take the script and add the little extra details the help to "iron out" the story. (Sorry couldn't resist). Two of my favorite extras were the explanation for J.A.R.V.I.S. and how Pepper got her job with Tony. It's a fun novel and makes for good reading under a tree drinking your favorite beverage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Reader, June 26, 2008
Again Peter David has proven to be a good choice for a novelisation.

The advantage of the novel is of course you understand more about what is happening to the characters early in the story when is being held prisoner in the cave, and later, as he is developing and testing the armor.

There is also a bit more of Happy Hogan.

A couple of jokes in there too, one of Coulson's agents is named Colan.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is *the* Iron Man
Quite a lot of Movie Tie-ins don't make good books (`The Dark Knight'/ `Indiana Jones'), so there was some skeptism in reading David's interpretation of `Iron Man'. Read more
