Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant Out Today

Written Tuesday, July 28, 2009 by Alan Pettit

For those of you who want to go beyond the games and learn more about the Gears universe, the second novel is available today. Jacinto's Remnant by Karen Traviss (author of the first novel, Aspho Fields) picks up after the end of Gears of War 2 and the sinking of Jacinto. I'll be picking it up myself on my lunch break.

"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."

I'd get it myself but I'm not the reading type.

Hmm, I've seen books at Barnes and Noble about Halo but never knew there were ones about Gears out. Has anyone actually read the first one and is it any good?

Got both the Gears books and they really are good - I think I prefer them to the Halo ones. Certainly gives more depth to the characters but at the same time, gives very little away in some areas - I'm assuming this is so they can do the games without spoiling anything in the books.

Do you mean the Aspho Fields book? If so, it was good...bit of flashback, some new characters who continue to feature in the second book and some old faces too. I liked it
