Del Ray, an imprint of Random House’s publishing group, announced this morning that they will publish three novels based on Epic Games’ Gears of War series. The first of which, entitled Gears of War: The Battle of Aspho Fields, will be written by Karen Traviss and will primarily feature mainstays Marcus and Dom.
“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 Games’ president 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. We loved Karen Traviss’ work on the Republic Commando series, and we can’t wait to get her Gears book to our fans.”
“Playing Gears of War is a kick-ass experience,” said Del Rey editor Keith Clayton, “And the Gears of War books should remain true to the spirit of the game. I’m happy to announce that the marriage of Karen Traviss and chainsaw bayonets is a match made in heaven—or hell, if you happen to be a Locust drone.”
The Battle of Asphos Fields goes on sale on October 28, not too long before Gears of War 2 arrives on November 7. More details on the book can be found below.
