Book Description

6 Aug 2009

Based on the blockbuster Xbox game, this is the stunning story of the men and women who stood between a planet and total destruction - and now have to face the consequences of their actions.

After a brutal fifteen-year war for survival, the Coalition of Ordered Governments is forced to destroy mankind's last city in a final bid to stop the Locust Horde. As the survivors flee Jacinto, they must contend with the last of the Locust, bent on vengeance, as they struggle to stay alive in an icy wilderness. Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago, and their fellow Gears fight to get Jacinto's refugees to a safe haven, but find themselves in a lawless new world where the enemy is human - and as desperate and dangerous as any grub.

This novel is based on a computer game with an 18-rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karen Traviss did it again 9 Sep 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I would like to make one thing clear before I start the actual review - I am a Gears of War fanboy. Also, English isn't my first language so forgive any typos.
Even though Gears isn't exactly known for having a good storyline (Although the storyline on the second game is so much better than the first's) Karen did an amazing job with her books. She managed to capture the personalities of the game characters and put them into words. She managed to create a story based on an amazing universe, and while I read the books I thought "Man, I could totally do that in the game." That's how much I got sucked into the action. Overall, both this and the first book are worth buying, especially at the price they are now, for any Gears fan. People who never played GoW might find the books boring and might go "Wtf" at several parts. My recommendation, play both games, get the books, get the comics too. I hope this helps! Keep up the amazing work, Karen.

My 13 year old son thinks this book is great and Karen is a good writer. He read it very quickly- although he is a book worm, but left him wanting more of Karen's books
