: Thanks. I haven't read the book but will take a look. Do you have any quotes
: from the text that are Durandal like?
: The main reason why the Grendel section on the Story Page references the
: comic book character is that the character appears as an image in an early
: version of the game. Thus someone at Bungie must have been a fan of the
: comic book. There are also a number similarities between the comic book
: plot and Marathon itself. The Grendal section also refers to the Grendel
: character in Beowulf, which is what John Garner's book is about. Though
: the story is told from the monster's point of view.
: Cheers

If you have the book, check chapter 7 and 8. They both are fairly similar with that Durandal-likeness. (After all, Grendel's mind is breaking down.)
