Here's something I bet many of you Gears fans have been looking forward to -- the next Gears of War novel.

That's right, Epic and author sci-fi Karen Traviss are bringing us another Gears of War prequel novel, Jacinto's Remnant.  You can guess by the name what this story might entail.

While Aspho Fields took place between Gears of War and its sequel, Jacinto's Remnant will cover events following Gears of War 2.  This paperback should started popping up over the weekend, but many retailers haven't received shipments just yet.  Suggested retail price is $15.00 USD, but you can find it for less at the usual discount spots like Amazon.

“Karen Traviss has outdone herself once again,” says Rod Fergusson, executive producer at Epic Games.

"Jacinto's Remnant not only answers the question of what happens after the events of Gears 2, it also provides greater insight into the Gears of War universe and a deeper understanding of its characters. We hope players of the games and discerning readers alike will enjoy this ongoing tale of humanity's fight for survival."
