AUTHOR PETER TELEP IS GREAT !

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.

Keep 'em coming Peter !!!!

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.

"2nd Shaker away, one left"

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.

Awesome Book!

Really cool book, must buy

the man is on his game lets hope he doesnt reach his pk soon

well the cover is amazing can you imagine being strapped into one of those.what a ride thatd be.hes done it again in # 2 and i say its to bad its 5mos until #3.peter has been around a long time but i think hes finally got himself a big one here. but i likedded space also both in book and on tv.this would make a GREAT screen epic.if your a marine or a marine fan youve got to read this book.the characters draw you in and make you part of there lifes you get angry,sad etc as they do and when one gets wasted you get downright pissed off against the programmers and the creator.but the superior human brain is to much and they find were not that easy to control.especially a marines brain.they say an e.k.g. of a marine doesnt come across as normal anyway and thats in a human body.what chance do drones have.with sarge in with them its gonna be booty kicking time big time.its one of the few books i simply cant put down once i start and when not reading it im thinking about it.so i give a WARNING i say again a WARNING if your not ready for an intense trip that WONT let you go and WILL hook you like the most potent drug out DO NOT i say DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK RUN AWAY REALLY FAST.seconds only are all it takes and you WILL join the rest of us as watchers of the next release day.if you cannot take the strain of intense adrealine rush or are prone to high blood pressure or anxiety please see your doctor before you attempt to start this book.after will be to late it will have you then you WILL be a FAN. have fun enjoy GOD bless,joe marine semper-fi
