| - The Doom novels are a series of four officially licensed books, written by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. They were released by Pocket Books between June 1995 and January 1996. They were reissued in 2005 with new cover paintings. The four titles, Knee-Deep in the Dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky, and Endgame, comprise a continuing narrative centering around Space Marine Flynn "Fly" Taggart and a ragtag band of human survivors. All are written from a first person perspective, usually with Flynn Taggart as the narrator. Ever since their publication, some Doom fans have insisted that "Flynn Taggart" is the Doomguy's real name, though id Software has never confirmed it, and in this case, it should be noted that the marine (or separate individuals) might have some other names than "Flynn Taggart", or just not have a name at all (which would mean the player would be the marine in this case.) Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
