You are on top of things Six! Keep up the good work. I really can't wait to pick this book up.

Very good, its worth getting just to understand the game plot more alone. By the way, is the series guided by EPIC at all or did they just send the writer(s?) away with a specification for the book?

That was confusing.

Yes...I guess it from Dom's POV but Isn't this a Prequel novel? Why are we in the present?

If you read the blog I posted, I noted that there will be actions from the present that force Dom and Marcus to relive the past. It'll have bits of "now" in it, but they'll be looking back at things that happened to them when they were younger.

The bits I've seen are really good. I'm as eager to get this book as most of you are! :D

Whoah! That preview was fantastic, the pace was brilliant. Cannot wait for release. School holidays for me when it comes out so I'll be able to read it then. I think I know who the Sniper was, anyone heard about a guy called Tai Kaliso?

[xXxGeArSxFrEaKxXx]

I like what ive seen sofar!
does anybody know how many pages the novel will have?
and the Locust queens name is blurred out :D:D:D:D:D

[xXSkyK1nGXx]

Amazon says it's 352 pages. That's gonna be some good readin.:cool:

[NutJobJim]

I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. The Gears universe has so much potential and anything that expands and explores it is on my must buy list instantly. Really hope Tai does make an appearance in the novel because from what I've seen/heard of him so far he sounds like a really interesting character and I have no doubt that he'll end up being my favourite Gear.
