Summary:

Understand what a world had to do to survive. When the Locust Horde
burst from the ground fifteen years ago to slaughter the human
population of Sera, mankind began a desperate war against extinction.
Now after a decade and a half of bloody fighting, and with billions
dead, the survivors—the Gears of the Coalition of Ordered
Governments, along with a small band of civilians—have been forced to
destroy their own cities and sacrifice their entire civilization to
halt the Locust advance. The last-ditch measures have succeeded, but
at an enormous cost: the survivors have been reduced to a handful of
refugees. Escaping to a haven on the remote island of Vectes, they
begin the heartbreaking task of rebuilding their devastated world.
For a while, there’s hope . .. making peace with old enemies, and
once again planning for the future. But the short respite is
shattered when Vectes comes under siege from an even deadlier force
than the Locust—the Lambent, a hideous and constantly mutating
life-form that destroys everything in its path. As the Lambent’s
relentless assault spreads from the mainland to the island, the
refugees finally understand what drove the Locust from their
underground warrens and sparked the global war. While Marcus Fenix
and the Gears struggle to hold back the invasion, the Coalition faces
a stark choice—fight this new enemy to the last human, or flee to the
wastelands to take their chances and live like the human pariahs
known as the Stranded . .. even as Coalition chairman Richard
Prescott still guards one last, terrible secret about the Locust, the
Lambent, and the future of mankind. . .. Based on the Rated-M for
Mature video game from Epic Games and Microsoft Game Studios.
