Masters of Doom actually mentions Apogee a few times, and discusses a bit of detail about the Build engine and Ken Silverman (particularly pointed at its influence on the guys at iD, and how it influenced the development of Quake). The author does a good job of describing the landscape for developers and publishers at the time in general as well.

Yeah, it's why I brought this up. I loved the Apogee/3DRealms talk in Masters of Doom! Brought me back to being a budding gamer in the 90's. Just wish there was more; a "Masters of Doom" for Epic, Apogee, Blizzard, and all the other big names at the time.
