Rated MY TOP READ!

'Descent : Equinox' is an action packed novel set in the universe created by INTERPLAY's best-selling game. Based on the stories 'Descent' and 'Descent : Stealing Thunder' before it, it goes into a brilliant personal aspect aswell, delving into the characters own perspectives to give the book a real yet imaginitive feel. Personally, I've read it literally tons of times, but still can't put it down!! A must read for anyone who enjoys an excellent book.

The best in series.

I'll admit, I never liked the Descent games; I just couldn't get into them. But I could definitely get into this series of books by Peter Telep. The action is none stop, with some hilarious comedy aswell. Benjamin St. John stars in these books. The bad guy, although I think "bad guy" is an understatement, is Samuel Dravis. He is the Director of Crisis Contingency Management and Public Relations for PTMC mining coperation. And he doesnt have to many morals as he tries to become president of PTMC and take out the military organization made to stop him, the CED. Equinox brings in a very interesting character only refered to as the guy with the steel jaw, who is a very very good fighter pilot and unfortunatly works for the PTMC. Him and Benjamin have some amazing fight scenes. Benjamin has a simple mission... Save the earth from being taken over from the PTMC; and to do that he has to get through vicious dog fights, back stabbing and conspiracy.Definatly a worthy book for any action or space-sim fan. I suggest reading the first two books first though; Descent and Descent: Stealing Thunder. They both are just as good and build up the exciting events.

if you like descent, you'll love this

this story takes the "pulse pounding" adventure of descent the video game series to the next level. very involving. extends the plot and explores the space opera of descent. you can't put it down until you're done!

A NONE-STOP THRILL RIDE!

This is twice as good as stealing thunder and has three times the action and plot of the original Descent. This is definately going to be the series that I recommend to all my friends and family.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

I just finished reading Descent: Equionx and I enjoyed every chapter of the Mr. Telep's book. He has taken the characters into a whole new view of understanding on St John thinks. I also loved how Mr. Telep took on Descent from the PC Game and turned it into a series. No other author could have done it better. Keep up the good up.
