Summary
The official prequel to the action video game Gears 5, beginning immediately after Gears of War 4 and leading directly into the new game.
Following Reyna Diaz’s death at the hands of the Swarm (in Gears of War 4), Kait seals her mother’s tomb and swears revenge. As she, JD, Del, Marcus, Cole, Samantha, and Baird lick their wounds and resupply, First Minister Jinn summons them to New Ephyra, promising that the “crimes” they committed will be forgiven. Before they can rejoin the Coalition, however, Jinn demands proof of their loyalty, and of the threat of the Swarm. Promised a new command, JD and Del agree. Plagued by nightmares, Kait rebels and refuses. When she discovers that two teens from her devastated village have survived, she goes rogue and strikes out to rescue them, accompanied by Marcus Fenix. Pursued by the robotic DeeBees, Kait and Marcus search for survivors. Instead, they find an overwhelming force of the enemy - and an unexpected ally. Meanwhile JD and Del lead a mission to locate the Swarm, only to be cut off from New Ephyra. Trapped and surrounded, they’re on their own. Picking up where Gears of War 4 left off, Gears of War: Ascendance is the official, action-packed bridge between that game and Gears 5.

Back to the cogs
I was gripped and brought back into the gears world with this story and cannot wait to get the other two books and replay the games . The character development was on point , the world building fantastic and the narration on point , it just needed sound effects etc like the Star Wars books is all

Perfect Leadup
This is a short, yet perfect leadup to the launch of Gears 5. If you are a fan of the series and are considering this then take the leap and get up to date before the launch of the game. Loved this from start to finish.

Just what the doctor ordered!
This was what I feel to be one of the greatest Gears of War books written yet. It has been an excellent way of filling in the time between the two games and and left me as the reader wanting to progress the story, even more than I already did. The fact that Nan McNamara was the chosen voice to narrate this novel was purely genius as she is still a part of the Gearsiverse in my mind even though her character Anya Stroud, had passed away in Gear of War 4.
Thank you for providing us with an amazing tale and I can't wait for more!

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would...
I'm a massive fan of the Karen Traviss GOW books. I had very low expectations for this, especially as the GOW4 game wasn't great. However, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Nan McNamara is fabulous. I thought the story was good, and I liked the way it changed from character to character per chapter, similar to the original books. Overall it's worth a listen to. I'm hoping Nan McNamara might record the Karen Traviss books as well, that would be perfection.
