About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ● In this official Gears of War tie-in novel—leading directly into the events of Gears of War: E-Day—the last human survivors of a vicious alien attack fight a pivotal battle that sets the stage for humanity’s darkest day.
As kids, the three of them were inseparable; as soldiers, they were 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 re-lived 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?

Terrible writing. 80% of what she writes is just pointless filler. it's like a high-school kid trying to make the word count. Shame they didn't choose someone who cared about the characters and story. she writes for the check and it gets worse with every book.

The backstory info is great but most of the writing is the same stuff repeated over and over and it gets to be annoying and some of it cringe after a while especially with Dom's story. Reads kind of like a high schoolers novel.

I have enjoyed the book and loved the fact that i could associate book's characters with something i played.knowing the story behind santiago's family and all that.flashbacks were a nice touch but at times when you were back at present day you needed time to remember where you were simply because flashbacks were sometimes VERY lengthy.
