Doom novels

The Doom novels are a series of four officially licensed science fiction novels based on the classic Doom storyline, written by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. They were initially printed by Pocket Books between June 1995 and January 1996. They were reissued in 2005, with new cover illustrations, in concert with the release of Doom 3. All are written from a first person perspective, usually with Flynn Taggart as the narrator.

-A '''linguortal''' is a non-euclidean, portal-like effect that works in vanilla Doom. The effect is achieved by manually editing the NODES lump of a map. It was discovered in August 2015 by Andrew "Linguica" Stine, and named by him. As this is an effect achieved through a modified BSP tree, this effect may not work on all source ports, with Chocolate Doom, Mocha Doom, and Boom being notable exceptions.
