Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant

Gears of War, Book 2

De: Karen Traviss

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

Based on the blockbuster Xbox game, this is the stunning story of the men and women who stood between a planet and total destruction—and now have to face the consequences of their actions.

After a brutal fifteen-year war for survival, the Coalition of Ordered Governments is forced to destroy mankind’s last city in a final bid to stop the Locust Horde. As the survivors flee Jacinto, they must contend with the last of the Locust, bent on vengeance, as they struggle to stay alive in an icy wilderness. Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago, and their fellow Gears fight to get Jacinto’s refugees to a safe haven, but find themselves in a lawless new world where the enemy is human—and as desperate and dangerous as any grub.

Immersed

Just listening to the book while working is a vibe. I enjoyed the book since it went deep into the events that weren't seen in the games.

Nan McNamara blows it out of the water

Loved the writing and Nan’s performance as each gear is not only immersive but accurate.

Great book in the series

Great writing, Great voice. This series is a good edition to the Gears world.

A title for all gears fans and just overall a good listen.

I have been a long time fan of the gears series both book and game, and feel like the books do the series a great service to the franchise. It's a bit different hearing the voice actor of Anya characterize Cole and Hoffman but she does a great job for her own character and Bernie. Only thing that could be better is having the voice actor for Cole or Marcus portraying their parts but overall quite happy with the narrator.

Great audio

Love gears everything, enjoyed the book when I don’t even like books. The reader was amazing and really got you into and made you be able to picture it with how well she read and changing voices and her enthusiasm

same story different narrator

the stories the exact same no disrespect to Nan MacNamara she is good but I don't know why the would add 2 of the same story

Fun, would have liked more action

Not as much action as I would’ve expected from a gears of war novel. I also don’t understand why you would choose a female voice actor to voice characters that have comically deep voices.

Character voices

Once again, love the story, huge fan of the gears franchise. Just the narrator does not have the deepness or bass or gruffliness in her voice to do the male voices.It's really a drawback and takes away from this story.
