About this listen

 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?

Karen Traviss expands the massive meat hunks from the games into real flesh and bone characters. Theres themes of guilt, grief and what you find within yourself to pick yourself up and carry on, which all broadens the source material admirably.
Its perhaps slightly drawn out, with some of the action washing over the listener more than gripping them by the throat as you'd hope for with such an action focused game to draw from. Overall though this is a admirable bit of world - and character - building.

I love these books, but it’s so hard to sit down and actually read I find. Much more convenient in audible format, this is a genuine treasure narrated by the voice actress of Anya.
The only thing that would make it better is if they somehow got the whole original cast but understandably that’s not really possible.
The fact we have an original voice actor to narrate this really pays homage to the love Travis and the publisher has for Gears of War.
Thank you Karen for writing such wonderful books and thank you Nan for excellent narration.

Perfect fit for anyone who is a fan of Gears of War.

Great

As someone who loves deep lore on games, this was perfect and insightful. Great story of Marcus growing up meeting his friends and joining the army, with the current setting of them fighting the Locust and before!

Loved the narration definitely a recommend!

Absolutely brilliant!
