About this listen

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?

Shockingly Good

I played Gears. I liked Gears.
Karen Traviss' Kilo Five series was so well done I checked this out.
It's just as strong and fun and sad.

As damn near life long fan of the Gears series I can say without out a doubt that this book really humanizes the characters I’ve loved for so long. Just brilliant!

Story is good but...

For a game that is male dominated with tons of testosterone in not sure who made the decision to have a woman tell this story.

Good but choppy audio

Certain words, especially at the beginning of sentences are choppy and cut out for the audio.
