About this ebook

A gripping adventure set in the world of the epic videogame

Home is where the war is

America may be reeling from endless recessions and crippling oil wars, but hack reporter Ben Walker never expected to see his homeland invaded and occupied by a reunified Korea—now a formidable world power under Kim Jong-il’s dictator son.

The enemy’s massive cyberattack is followed by the detonation of an electromagnetic pulse that destroys technology across the United States. Communications, weapons, and defense systems are rendered useless; thousands perish as vehicles suddenly lose power and passenger jets plummet to the ground. 

Fleeing the chaos of Los Angeles, Walker discovers that although America’s military has been scattered, its fighting spirit remains. Walker joins the soldiers as they head east across the desert, battling Korean patrols—and soon finds his own mission. Walker reinvents himself as the Voice of Freedom, broadcasting information and enemy positions to civilian Resistance cells via guerrilla radio.  

But Walker’s broadcasts have also reached the ears of the enemy. Korea dispatches its deadliest warrior to hunt the Voice of Freedom and crush the ever-growing Resistance before it can mount a new war for American liberty.

Ratings and reviews

It was great on the build-up, i played the game myself and loved the emotion it tends to bring out in a person. Wished there was more to it though

This book I ordered of the GameStop Power Up Rewards website. And I didn't expect the book to be as intense and exciting as it was. You have to read it from start to finish. You'll want to keep reading more and more. I've read this book three times so far and it's just as good as the last time.

Good read once it gets going. I'll have to try the game now!
