Download or read book Masters of Doom written by David Kushner and published by Random House. This book was released on 2003-04-24 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters of Doom is the amazing true story of the Lennon and McCartney of video games: John Carmack and John Romero. Together, they ruled big business. They transformed popular culture. And they provoked a national controversy. More than anything, they lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to co-create the most notoriously successful game franchises in history—Doom and Quake—until the games they made tore them apart. Americans spend more money on video games than on movie tickets. Masters of Doom is the first book to chronicle this industry’s greatest story, written by one of the medium’s leading observers. David Kushner takes readers inside the rags-to-riches adventure of two rebellious entrepreneurs who came of age to shape a generation. The vivid portrait reveals why their games are so violent and why their immersion in their brilliantly designed fantasy worlds offered them solace. And it shows how they channeled their fury and imagination into products that are a formative influence on our culture, from MTV to the Internet to Columbine. This is a story of friendship and betrayal, commerce and artistry—a powerful and compassionate account of what it’s like to be young, driven, and wildly creative. “To my taste, the greatest American myth of cosmogenesis features the maladjusted, antisocial, genius teenage boy who, in the insular laboratory of his own bedroom, invents the universe from scratch. Masters of Doom is a particularly inspired rendition. Dave Kushner chronicles the saga of video game virtuosi Carmack and Romero with terrific brio. This is a page-turning, mythopoeic cyber-soap opera about two glamorous geek geniuses—and it should be read while scarfing down pepperoni pizza and swilling Diet Coke, with Queens of the Stone Age cranked up all the way.”—Mark Leyner, author of I Smell Esther Williams
Download or read book Escape from Doom and Beyond Bedlam written by John Wilstach and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel is one of veteran mystery writer John Wilstach's only forays into sci-fi, "Escape from Doom." Doren Grahame was a war hero. He'd been in the thick of action and had a piece of metal in his left arm to prove it, but all he wanted was peace and privacy. He and his upper crust fiancé had split upon his arrival back home and now he wanted to have a few drinks and forget. But while attending a society auction he chanced to bid on an exquisitely made ornament: a green fish, about three inches long, gleaming with a golden hue--it had all seemed so innocent. But soon Grahame learned of the ornament's fantastic power, a force so great it could change the balance of power throughout the world. Grahame then found his life enmeshed in the most fantastic plot imaginable, eventually landing him in the clutches of mad scientist who planned to transfer his mind into the body of another human being! The second novel is Wyman Guin's "Beyond Bedlam." It was the 29th century. No longer was the world plagued by war. Man had subdued his violent tendencies by using miracle drugs. Unfortunately, there was a side effect--everyone become schizophrenic. Bill Walden and Conrad Manz, both completely different personalities, shared the same physical body. Each personality rotated his existence with the other, each working through five-day periods before the other took over. Likewise he (Bill/Carl) was married to one woman with the same shared relationship: Helen Walden and Clara Manz. As long as the two personalities didn't encroach upon each other, society was well-ordered. As a safeguard there was an organization called Medicorps, which kept a vigilant eye on the world. And when things got out of hand, there were always the Medicops to turn to. So with these checks and balances in hand, the world seemed to run smoothly. Then one day Bill Walden decided to have an affair with Clara, his wife's alter ego!

Download or read book Doom s Caravan written by Geoffrey Household and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disappearance of a British intelligence agent at the height of World War II sparks a desperate manhunt through the treacherous shadows of a battle-scarred Middle East Oliver Enwin was a valuable member of the British intelligence community in the Middle East in those dark days at the onset of the Second World War. Talented enough and devious enough to make his mark, he rose to the rank of assistant defense security officer at Nazareth by 1941, entrusted with the choosing, running, and support of local assets. Then he vanished without a trace, leaving fear and turmoil in his wake and scores of unanswered questions. In a tightly closed desert world on the brink of chaos—an essential playing piece in the complex wartime strategies of Allies, Arabs, and Nazis—determining the motives and whereabouts of a British agent gone rogue and potentially traitorous might be the most impossible assignment of the entire Middle Eastern conflict . . . and quite possibly the most important. In the vein of works by John le Carré and Len Deighton, Doom’s Caravan is a masterful, ever-twisting tale of wartime espionage unfolding on a vivid and blood-stained canvas. Gripping, electrifying, evocative, and surprising at every turn, this is the work of a true twentieth-century master.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The harrowing, triumphant true story of an antiquated light cruiser and its crew suddenly under fire in the Pacific as WWII erupted: “An engrossing tale.” —Naval Historical Foundation The old light cruiser Marblehead was living out her final years of naval service as a member of the United States Asiatic Fleet in 1941. The small group of mostly antiquated ships based in the Philippines sailed the waters of East Asia to show the American flag in places like China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore. Then the sudden eruption of World War II in the Pacific put the warship on the front lines of the conflict as Imperial Japan unleased a series of devastating attacks across the region. On the morning of February 4, 1942, the warship was surprised by Japanese planes northeast of Java. Two large bombs slammed into Marblehead, causing fires and casualties and knocking out her steering gear. A third bomb exploded close by underwater. The near miss ripped a large gash into her hull, allowing a torrent of water to rush inside the ship. Escape from Java takes us throughout the ship as the story unfolds—next to gunners toiling to keep their guns firing, with medical staff tending to the wounded, and alongside damage control sailors working in flooded compartments. The Japanese confidently radioed that they had sunk the ship—but through courage, sacrifice, and superhuman effort, Marblehead would set out on a harrowing 13,000-mile journey back to the US . . . “An engrossing tale of an obsolescent ship’s survival amid great odds set against the brutal early fighting of the Pacific War. This book will appeal to a wide audience not only as high wartime adventure but simply as a story of gritty perseverance when the odds are heavily against.” —Naval Historical Foundation
