GOW novels announced
Now you can read about hyper macho manies as well as play one.
Those wishing to delve even deeper into the Gears of War mythology will soon have that wish granted because Epic Games have hired British author Karen Traviss (who's also written books in the Star Wars universe) to write a trio of GOW novels.
Subtitled The Battle of Aspho Field, the first book deals with events that happened before the first game and sees the friendship between Marcus and Dom tested to the limit by the truth about Dom's brother. Set amidst the backdrop of a frantic stand to save mankind in the last human stronghold on Sera one would assume the story will be fleshed out to sound a little less like an episode of Hollyoaks in space.
"After finishing the first Gears of War game, players were left wanting to know more about Delta Squad and the events leading up to Emergence Day," said Epic boss Michael Capps. "This trilogy of novels opens up whole new worlds of storytelling opportunities, and will add even more context to the upcoming comic book series, game sequel and motion picture."
The Battle of Aspho Fields is due in America at the end of October while a European released date is as yet unconfirmed.
