Description

The official prequel to the blockbuster videogame Resistance 3

America. July 1953.
 
In this official prequel to Resistance 3, prospects are not looking up for planet Earth or Lieutenant Joseph Capelli. With the Chimera invasion in full swing, America has crumbled under the fierce alien juggernaut, its defenses overrun, millions dead, the rest left to fend for themselves. Many try to avoid the alien virus that turns humans into Chimeran killing machines.

Capelli may be a pariah to the army for killing hero Nathan Hale, but he is still a patriot fighting to save the country and its citizens. However, some soldiers are ready to shoot him on sight—not to mention that Hale’s beautiful sister has every reason in the world to want him stone dead. But Capelli’s used to being in dangerous situations and taking crazy risks. And the next move he intends to make is pure suicide.

    It was something better than Gathering Storm, but it is still not without flaws. 1# The dialogue was sometime chessy, especially during the romance between Joe Capelli and Susan, and near every chapter. 2# There are too many real products and weapons, and makes me wonder if the author was endorsing the book for product placements (beside Resistance 3 of course). 3# And there are some inconsistency such as a "Bullseye III" - there were only two versions of the Bullseye seen in the games - and a minor reference to America having participated in World War One - the U.S. entered the war in the Resistance universe. 4# The product detail in the book didn't live up to see Capelli actually being hunted down by people for killing Hale despite some characters were obviously mad at him for this. Nor does it explains the title - was it referring to the Chimeran tower in NYC? 5# Lastly it really doesn't explaining what had happened at the end of Resistance 2. Such as the planets/moons seen at the end. Was Earth teleported to another part of space?
