"Gears of War" is a cult computer and video game that has won many awards and the hearts of millions of fans around the world! The publishing house "Azbuka" presents the continuation of the famous gaming saga in a series of bestsellers. The war of survival, which stopped progress and threw the planet's population back a hundred years, is finally over. The survivors of Jacinto are slowly rebuilding their lives. Raids by marauders and pirate gangs still cause a fair amount of trouble, but there's nothing Marcus Fenix and his men can't handle. However, soon the nightmare, which seemed to be a thing of the past, begins to haunt people again. Something much more dangerous, something that even the Locust is afraid of, is spreading across the entire planet.
