Usually when a video game is adapted into a novel it's usually released around the time the game ships to stores. So it's unusual when a prose novel adaptation is released years after the game itself. However that's exactly what happen for id Software's 2004 first person shooter Doom 3.In February 2008, author Matthew Costello (who helped id with the storyline for the Doom 3 game) had the first of three projected novels based on Doom 3 released from Simon and Schuster. Now the second novel, Doom 3: Maelstrom, has just been released and is available in paperpack. The storyline has the game's Space Marine hero still on Mars as he discovers "the truth behind the shadowy research taking place within the very facility he is desperately trying to escape." There's no word when the third and final novel in the trilogy will be released.New Doom 3 prose novel released originally appeared on Big Download Blog on Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:00:00 EST.
