review 1: Gears of War Anvil GateKaren TravissGears of War Anvil Gate is the end of the saga it takes place on an island they named New Jacinto which is there last place humanity has hope to survive but once they get there they start to realize that the enemies the C.O.G. were facing before were nothing compared to the new enemies they’ve discovered lurking in the waters near New Jacinto. They’re barely getting by to start with but with bandits and these new monsters life is getting even harder for them in their chance to start over things called lambent are stalking them through the ocean and beyond. Humanity is on the brink of extinction and things aren’t getting easier, they must all band together to survive the enemy that can force itself through molten rock and even grani... morete. The C.OG. also have an enemy within their command or what’s left of it and he is hiding secrets that should be made aware to every gear since as it is the end of the world there should be no more secrets especially if it can change the outcome of the human race surviving.
review 2: Gears of War: Anvil Gate is the 3 installment of Karen Traviss' Gears of War series.The first part of the book follows Jacinto's Remnant quite nicely as they settle into a new location on an island. However, the current inhabitants have never seen Locusts. They're also not huge COG fans. In a way, it's sort of an homage to the American Indians. However, the Cog soon realizes they face a new enemy. The Lambant. They're like Locusts on steroids. And they explode! After destroying many fishing vessels and an oil rig, the encampment is attacked by three (Count 'em, three) Leviathans! They also have to deal with raids from the Stranded, survivors of the Hammer Strikes who decided not to join the COG, and they're pretty pissed. The second part of the book follows Colonel Hoffman back in the Pendulum Wars, and his defense of Anvil Gate: A legendary COG fortress that has never been ceased. However, after the UIR cuts of the one road leading to the fortress, as well as their water supply, Hoffman realizes that his time is short, and as the old saying goes, "Desperate times call for desperate measures."After reading the first three novels in the series, I have a new-found respect for characters like Hoffman, Bernie, and Dom. In the game, Dom obviously got a lot of screen time, and we really saw his emotions flourish in the third game, but we never really saw why he cared so much about Maria and Marcus. The books explain their history phenomenally. And Hoffman. My goodness, after reading the books, I Love Hoffman. In the games, he was just the mean leader. But in the books, you really see why he's this angry ball of emotions. Bernie's past is also explored in great detail, and you'll really come to love her by the end as well.Fantastic Story, Fantastic Characters, Fantastic Plot, Fantastic Series less
