Synopsis

A New York Times bestseller! In the first of three official tie-in novels to the hugely successful videogame from Microsoft and Epic Games, the last human survivors of a vicious alien attack fight a pivotal battle for the fate of mankind.

As kids, the three of them were inseparable; as soldiers, they would be torn apart. Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago fought alongside Dom’s elder brother Carlos at Aspho Fields in the epic battle that changed the course of the Pendulum Wars. There’s a new war to fight now, a war for mankind’s very survival. But while the last human stronghold on Sera braces itself for another onslaught from the Locust Horde, ghosts come back to haunt Marcus and Dom. For Marcus—decorated war hero, convicted traitor—the return of an old comrade threatens to dredge up an agonizing secret he’s sworn to keep.

As the beleaguered Gears of the Coalition of Ordered Governments take a last stand to save mankind from extermination, the harrowing decisions made at Aspho Fields have to be relived and made again. Marcus and Dom can take anything the Locust Horde throws at them—but will their friendship survive the truth about Carlos Santiago?

I'm not sure there has ever been a good novelization of a video game. If such things exist, this isn't one of them. Total rip off of Starship Troopers, with humans fighting giant superintelligent bugs and losing. This is a sort of prequel to the game itself, telling the tales of various space marines......more

Goodreads review by Michael on September 22, 2011

Review from Badelynge Karen Traviss does a great job of bringing some Gears of War goodness to those of us who like to relax our trigger fingers once in a while. Traviss admits herself that she's worked on a lot of stuff in her day, tie-ins and the like and that not all of the varied franchises and p......more

Goodreads review by Tiara on June 01, 2015

TL; DR Review: 3.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous so the better part of 3.5 stars. Much better than I was expecting. Feelings everywhere. Just let me get myself together. I shouldn't be feeling like this about a GoW book. LOL. More reviews @ The BiblioSanctum Long Review: What I love about Gears of War......more
