Synopsis

Continuing the saga of the bestselling game series! In the third of three official tie-in novels to the hugely successful videogame from Microsoft and Epic Games, Marcus Fenix and his Gears defend humanity’s final city from the Locust horde.

With the Locust Horde apparently destroyed, Jacinto’s survivors have begun to rebuild human society on the Locust stronghold. Raiding pirate gangs take a toll—but it’s nothing that Marcus Fenix and the Gears can’t handle. Then the nightmare they thought they’d left behind begins to stalk them again. Something far worse, something even the Locust dreaded, has emerged to spread across the planet, and not even this remote island haven is beyond its reach. Gears and Stranded must fight side by side to survive their deadliest enemy yet, falling back on the savage tactics of another bloody siege—Anvil Gate.

Another banger in the series, like Aspho Fields I really respect the author for nailing the tone and atmosphere of the Gears of War universe. The characters here are excellent.

Goodreads review by Terrible Reviewer on January 03, 2016

'Catastrophic moments bringing the best out of humanity – and the worst!' For a game not known for having much of a story, Karen Traviss sure knows how to pull out the substance of the lore within the Gears universe. The jeist of the Gears franchise focuses on a genocidal war between humanity and......more

Goodreads review by Sami on October 30, 2019

Karen Traviss is becoming my favourite author. I was not expecting much for a novel inspired by a action video game, but this sequel was great. There is no much focus on action, but on the characters emotional history. This is maybe the most humanistic and sentimental novel about futuristic soldiers......more

Goodreads review by Ben on January 31, 2022

The second “Gears of War” novel, “Jacinto’s Remnant” takes place immediately following the events of “Gears of War 2,” and serves as an odd half-epilogue/half-ground-layer for the eventual story that we witness in “Gears 3.” As the former, it’s less successful, basically serving as a novel-long narr......more
