For the first time, fans of the blockbuster Gears of War video
games get an in-depth look at Delta Squad's toughest
fighters-soldier's soldier Marcus Fenix and rock-solid Dominic
Santiago-as well as a detailed account of the pivotal battle of the
Pendulum Wars.
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?
