Short News
New Doom trailer
"Aye, we're all doomed!", no, not Dad's Army but the latest Doom trailer, and in a watchable format this time. The first person gimmick is gonna wear real thin I can tell. What do you think of this one, any better? The opening on Mars (they've definitely changed back to Mars now) is quite nice, and the creatures are well done. It's also dark, very dark! Check out the trailer at Yahoo movies through Coming Soon.

Scavenger
Authors: David Morrell.
Hardcover, 349 pages
Publisher: Vanguard Press
Publication Date: 2007-03-12


Reviews :

    Frank Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of David Morrell's acclaimed Creepers, now finds himself trapped in a nightmarish game of fear and death. To save himself and the woman he loves, he must play by the rules of a god-like Game Master with an obsession for unearthing the past. But sometimes the past is buried for a reason.

Scavenger is a brilliant, frightening hunter-hunted tale that layers modern technology over the dusty artifacts of earlier times. The result is a surreal palimpsest, one that contains the secret of survival for Balenger and a handful of unwilling players who race against the game’s clock to solve the puzzle of the time capsule, only to discover that time is the true scavenger.
