The Doomsday Virus: To solve puzzles or not to solve puzzles...That is the question! 3 reviews
Barry Silverstein
AuthorHouse, 2003
COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!
Fast paced thriller set in the world of high tech. I am not a computer person, but thoroughly enjoyed this novel and really got into the whole world of hackers and viruses and competition between programmers to top each other's products...Really a great thriller for anyone who enjoys page-turners. I learned a lot about a world I have little connection to, which was a blast, but also really got ...

The Doomsday Journal: Weapons of Destruction3 reviews
Bruce Booker
AuthorHouse, 2004
A Great Story!!!
On the surface, this "historical fiction" includes all the elements of a classic spy novel: Deception, intrigue, murder, and plenty of action. But wait, there's more to it than that! As you delve deeper into the book, you will find this is not just the result of the author's ruse. It is a carefully drawn conclusion about the "Whats" and "Whys" of the U.S.'s involvement in Viet Nam, and the ...

Bureau 13: Doomsday Exam10 reviews
Nick Pollotta
Wildside Press, 2002
Personal favorite of mine
I'm a huge fan of gaming novels and this one series is at the top of my favorites list. If you ever wanted to read a novel of a great gaming session this series has that in spades. I, too, find this one even better than the first book (though the still out of print third book "Full Moonster" is my all time favorite). If you've read the Crimson Skies novels or the Dragonlance Chronicles than ...

Mount Doomsday6 reviews
M.D, Donald A. Berman
High Country Publishers, 2005
Best book I've read in years
Don Berman has constructed a page turner on par with Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code." The weaving storyline and the suspense driven plot create an exhilarating journey for any reader. Berman has shed light on the gloomy possibility of a disaster stemming from both natural and man-made events. The recent disaster in New Orleans has demonstrated just how dead on Berman was in predicting the ...

Antidote to Apocalypse: Rx for Doomsday Fears4 reviews
Joan Lanahan Schira
Booklocker.com, 2001
Revealing and informative
A very scholarly, well researched exposure of the real meaning of the scriptures, eliminating much of the esoteric meanings in the obscure, ambiguous and seemingly contradictory passages and enlightening us as to the meaning of terms in use at that time. By paralleling the recorded history of the times and the written word of the gospels we are ably guided to concur with the author that the ...

The Dragons of Archenfield: Volume III of the Doomsday Books4 reviews
Edward Marston
St Martins Pr, 1995
Great historical whodunit. Ellis Peters heir apparent
Best of the series so far. Ralph and Gervase are two of the most full bodied dectives since Leaphorn and Chee. Red Herrings abound as they try to find out who killed a Saxon with claims to contested land. Golde adds a much needed twist to the foursome trying to settle land claims for King William.

John Peel
Scholastic, 1999
Peel does it again!
John Peel is one of the best authors i know, and i tend to be picky about books. You can hardly put them down, and they keep you guessing. He has some character backgrounds without making it boring. The character's personalities are very distinguished, and he has a great way of discribing things. in 2099, the whole planet is almost completly run by machines. Devon (who is NOT tristans clone! ...

The Dominium Sequencing antimatter and gravity effect: Big Bang to black hole; and implications for a ...1 review
Hasanuddin
Ciano Design, 2007
A more through understanding of the LHC project.
The LHC project, despite all the money that has been poured into it, could end up destroying everything - and that means everything. "The Dominium" speaks of a near-future man-made doomsday scenario where an object made as a symbol of peace, cooperation, and scientific advancement could collapse the universe into yet another big bang, speaking as if this a very real reality, and not just fiction. ...

60 Signs for Doomsday: The Mustang1 review
David Jonathan Newman
AuthorHouse, 2004
Splendidly sorrowful and acerbic!!!!!
Man! Although I am woman, I feel the depth of sorrow that the author has expressed in his writing. He sure seems like one hurtin' puppy but in the end it looks like he's gonna pull though. 60 Signs is a triumph of the soul. It reads like a journey through the mind of a human being who is rebelling against his station in life. He presents strong arguments for the validity and utility of nihilistic ...

Ralph Woodrow, 2000
Great Book!
This book is both a fascinating and informative resource containing various rumors and pieces of misinformation as well as refutations of them and "the real story" behind the rumors. These rumors include such items as the so-called "Bible code," NASA scientists discovering a "missing day" corresponding with some biblical events, the supposed discovery of Noah's Ark, the supposedly "Satanic" ...

Doctor Who And The Doomsday Weapon1 review
Malcolm Hulke
Pinnacle Books, 1979
The two renegade Time Lords
_I found this to be a quite enjoyable revisitation with the good Doctor. While I remember the original airing of this episode, the book fleshes things out a bit better. It reads quickly and with few let downs in interest or action.
_It was especially nice to have the Doctor's assistant, Jo Grant, introduced for the first time. But then you have a wealth of the Who universe introduced here: the ...

Doomsday Men: The Real Dr. Strangelove and the Dream of the Superweapon2 reviews
P. D. Smith
St. Martin's Press, 2007
An outstanding history of the cultural impact of superweapons
Doomsday Men is an impressively creative examination of how literature and philosophy influenced the development of superweapons, and how knowledge of their ghastly potential shaped, in turn, the cultural icons of the 20th century. It shows how those involved in the Manhattan Project differed greatly in their temperments and outlooks, and reached drastically different conclusions about the role ...

Doomsday morning2 reviews
C. L Moore
Avon, 1957
A Forgotten SF Classic
Doomsday Morning is brilliant. It's the story of a near-future America that has become a de facto dictatorship under a permanent "President" - who is now getting old, with no clear successor. It's also the story of Rohan, who was once a major movie star but lost everything with his wife's betrayal - and now has a chance to get it all back. It's the story of a revolution against tyranny. And it's ...

Batman: The Doomsday Prophecy (A Super Powers Which Way Book)1 review
Richard Wenk
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 1989
Which Way Batman is great father/son activity
My son and I have enjoyed this book together many times. The story lines are interesting and short enough to keep my sons interest. We read this book over and over and each time it is different. I reccommend this book to any parent with a child that has any interest in Batman.

Angle Iron1 review
Neo Andersen
Trafford Publishing, 2004
THE SYSTEM IS GOING DOWN, BIG TIME
This is not a book about terrorism; the purpose of terrorism is to scare people into action, or inaction to further the cause of the terrorist. In the scenario played out in ANGLE IRON, the plan is not to scare, but to collapse, with no hope of repairing the system to its former state. The target is not the well-protected, ultra secure hydroelectric dams and thermal generating plants, but the ...
