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? Review: Pleasantly Surprised - well let me start by saying that i am i huge gears of war fan, when i bought this book i really did think that it was going to be on those things that was just going to be tring to "milk" the gears of war franchise for all its worth. Well i am happy to say that i was indeed wrong. the author ,karen traviss, is on the new york times best sellers list so i do feel bad for under estimating the book. the thing that i like to think that gear heads will love about this book is that the book helps you understand more about the main characters. lets take dom for example anyone who played the games knows that he is looking for someone (not going to ruin it for people who have not yet finished or played the games.), but reading this you find out that there is even more to this already deep character. marcus,cole, and dare a say it even baird seem more human after reading this book. Also the author does a very good job making the words on the page convey the sense of emotion that she wanted you to feel. when times were happy in the book i smiled and laughed with the gears, and when times where sad i felt honest sadness. there is one part of the book in particualr that i almost did cry just because the discription made me feel as if i were there. the author does a creat job of making the characters feel not like people in a video game or just some people on a page that are faceless, as you read the book you find yourself starting to relly wanting people to live and some of the characters atuaclly start to get on your nerves with smart remarks. In the end i would have to say that this book is a five out of five. because it does everything a book should dom it emerses you into the world. its a five out of five because of the fact that to gears of war players it helps you understand why the characters are so close, and for people who have never played the game and are on the fence about it. It is a great way to get introduced into the franchies you get to know the characters you will be seeing and characters that will be seen later in the game. this book is muct read for anyone who enjoys a good book. i hope this review was helpful, and i hope everyone that buys or reads this book loves it as much as i do. Review: A awesome book worth reading - This book was awesome i am a huge GoW fan and the book complements the games very nicely. it explains allot about every aspect of the games. The book flipped from 14 years after Eday and and before Eday during the Pendulum war. some other posters left some bad reviews about how it was dumb that it did flip between the two times but i have to say they are wrong and by flipping between both times(14 years after Eday and the Pendulum war) it gave you a history of how the COGS began and there purpose and by doing so it answered allot of questions and explained why the plant Sera is they way it is present day. when you read the book or play the game you see the planet Sera they are on and it has been ravaged by 90+ years of intense war.i guess without a understanding of the history of everything and not flipping back to the past one always wonders why and how things got to be and by knowing a history it adds so much more to it.at least it did for me, its allot more than just a game with cut scenes explaining a few things in between. the book explains allot about the major characters also. It would like to see the next book focus on Eday in great detail and hopefully more books will follow because this is one of the greatest stories and there is so much more they could write into more books.I just finsihed the book the other day and during reading it i could not put it down, i think i am going to read again here soon. it is well worth the time to read and a great story. i also thought the author described things with great detail for example when she described the locust getting chainsawed it made you feel as if you was watching your tv screen and chainsawing them yourself while playing your xbox ! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,080 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #102 in War Fiction (Books) #106 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction #141 in Space Marine Science Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,344 Reviews | ## Images ![Gears of War: Aspho Fields - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91AEHlxqS4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly Surprised *by K***E on August 15, 2010* well let me start by saying that i am i huge gears of war fan, when i bought this book i really did think that it was going to be on those things that was just going to be tring to "milk" the gears of war franchise for all its worth.

The main plot is set just after the Lightmass Offensive, but there are also extensive flashbacks revolving around the Battle of Aspho Fields, a major event in the Pendulum Wars where Marcus Fenix became a legend. BLUF: I would give this a solid 4/5. For a video game tie-in, I was not expecting this novel to be as engaging and readable as it was. Honestly, if you like Gears of War, definitely give this a read. The author, Karen Traviss, has served in the military and has been a defense correspondent and it shows. The way she describes things and the lingo she uses lends an authenticity to the novel that I wasn't expecting. I would love for her to write a Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum novel for Games Workshop. The novel isn't perfect. Often, dialogue between characters felt forced, drawn out, or uncharacteristic, as if Karen was just grasping for words to fill out a conversation. An example is when Marcus tells Bernie that Baird is just a scared kid, only for Bernie to remind Marcus that he and Baird are around the same age. Karen's characterization of Colonel Hoffman as highly caring and guilt-ridden also felt very weird. Gears of War 1 is a gritty game with a lot of horror-lite elements. There are jump scares, creepy moments, a dark and hopeless atmosphere, and unsettling images. There's nothing like that in "Aspho Fields" and I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that Karen Traviss (who would go on to become the lead writer for Gears 3) is a major reason the Gears franchise transitioned from a "gritty sci-fi military shooter with horror elements" to a "dramatic sci-fi military shooter with mature themes." I personally liked the tone of the first game the best. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3982594-gears-of-war-aspho-fields](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3982594-gears-of-war-aspho-fields) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
