Summary: The Descent Novel has added a new dimension to a game that I love. Peter Telep has managed to bring Descent to life for me!
Comment: I said it before in December 1995 when the shareware version of Descent was released and I'll say it again about this new novel from Peter. "Once you've gotten hooked on Descent it is like a drug, each time you find yourself wanting the rush to be even better"
The Descent Novel has added a new dimension to a game that I love. Peter Telep has managed to bring Descent to life for me! I have flown in the same mines described in the book that Ben St John fights for his life in. I even anticipate a bot before it's mentioned in the book! I can recall many points of interest in the game that Peter has mentioned. The first night I read the book I found myself in a dream just like I did (and still do) when the game was released in Dec'95.
I am an avid reader of Robert Jordon, Terry Brooks, Star Trek and Star Wars books and I consider Peter Telep's work on Descent among my favorite and best of any I have read.
I can't wait for the next novel in this series or a Movie! How about it Interplay MAKE US A DESCENT MOVIE!

Summary: I couldn't put the book down, it was outstanding!
Comment: I read this book in two days...
This utterly amazing statement may not impress many, so let me tell why it should. First understand that I do not read books. I am the unfortunate victim of technology's evil grasp. I play video games instead of reading. I am nineteen years old and have only read no more than fifteen books of my own free will. Books bore the life out of me. I visited Mr. Telep at his book signing in a sci-fi store in Orlando. He recommended Descent to me, and having played the game I picked it up and bought it. After remaining untouched in my room for two weeks, I eventually cracked it open and read the first few pages. I read with high expectations and a pathetically low attention span. This book completely hooked me in the first chapter. Peter Telep somehow captured the essence of this game into words, bringing my gaming experience to life. It was an extremely exciting and invigorating experience. I couldn't put the book down; I read it in four sittings - fifteen hours total. He deeply drew me into the action, and so totally entrenched me in the plot that I didn't even boot up my computer or go hang out with my friends until the book was finished.
Congratulations Peter, I'd recommend this book to anyone. I don't even read for fun and here I am on Amazon.com (for the first time) to give Descent a five star review. Keep up the quality work, and when I next go to a bookstore (when I get my schoolbooks), I'll surely seize the sequel.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: As a fan of the game, I was delighted to discover a book. Mr. Telep is a new author for me, and I was not disappointed.
His main characters could have used a little more developing, but they still became real as the book progressed.
The ethereal "Programmers" desire to understand humans by "afflicting" the drones with personality was a surprise. I am eager to see how this develops.
All in all, a very enjoyable few hours. I will be searching for more of Mr. Telep's books.
