It's really hard to properly express how bad this book is. The author creates a love interest for Doom Guy (now called Fly) named Arlene. Arlenes name appears 31 times in the first 31 pages of the book. That's how bad this book is.

this was hard to finish every line was some joke the character was thinking in their head none freaking stop a lot of words combined into one for most of the book and frankly just didn't find any of the chars believable or good at all. sorry for harsh review but I hated reading this, this was not worth the money and won't buy anymore don't read his novels on doom will only spoil the fun from the games

So this first book is more written in a sense that it's "based" on the the key points of the game while trying to bring out it's own spin with a grounded and sometimes humorous dialog. This honestly reminded me of playing Doom with my Buddy for a first time on co-op it's a good read. I'm unsure of the rest of the series since this is obviously different from the games canon story and if you were to try to compare it with another game novel series for instance Halo with more story since I said it's "Based"
