About this ebook
The story of Delta Squad's toughest fighters - soldier's solder Marcus Fenix and steadfast 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, as the return of an old comrade threatens to dredge up an agonizing secret Marcus has sworn to keep.
As the beleaguered Gears of the Coalition of Ordered Governments take a last stand to save mankind from extinction, the harrowing decisions made at Aspho Fields have to be relived 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?

Acting as a form of bridge between Gears of War 1 and 2, Aspho Fields' main
storyline (each of Karen Traviss' Gears books tells 2 stories, one
contemporaneous and one historical) concerns the Locust Horde's activities
after the Lightmass Bombing, as seen in the closing cutscene of the first
game. The historical storyline tells of the boyhood bond between Marcus
Fenix and Dom Santiago (and his older brother Carlos, who never appeared in
the games), and how the three of them participated in a spec op -
"Operation Leveller" - which nabbed the Hammer of Dawn technology for the
COG. This, and Traviss' other Gears of War novels are an essential part of
the story, and if you're a Gears fan who hasn't read them, you really,
REALLY should.

Gears of War and no other description needed, but it illuminates the reason for the depth of Marcus and his loyalty and friendship to Dom. It also provides insight into the character of Cole and Baird which was non-existant in the Game. Definately worth the read if you are a lover of the game
