Do you want to read a second Endwar book?

[Kaona]

After I spent some time with Endwar on PC, I feel disappointed with some aspects of the game. One of them is the lack of actual story in the single player mode.

This makes me think back about the Endwar novel that was released before the game. It is quite enjoyable in my opinion. The book's story is more intense than what you could find in the game.

What do you think about a new Endwar novel that stay true with the first book's storyline(EU and US are allies, Green Brigrade terrorists)?

I would love it. I seriously don't get why everyone is hating on the first book (99% of it is "omg Canada is neutral" http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif)

I agree that it was way more intense and the storyline of the book was actually better than the sorry excuse of a plot we got in the final version. (Europe and America are enemies over a space station? Seriously?)

So to summurize my response Yes

Yeah but i do find it kind of silly;
Tom Clancy's EndWar..... by David Michaels

It should just be....Endwar By David Michaels. But how would they milk any money off of that? http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I haven't actually read the first one, but alot of people say it isn't that good, Europe is only mentioned, America v Russia (check out the originality), mostly involves people getting shot down. If someone gave it to me I'd probably read it.


Random, the best part was Based on Ubisoft bestselling game, Tom Clancy's Endwar when it hadn't been released.

Maybe the second one could focus more on the Europeans

And it has yet to even sell 1,000,000 units let alone make it into the top charts http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif

I've been waiting to hear something about it.
The first one left on a cliffhanger, so I'm interested in a secod or definetly

I did not like the book. Europe was put in as a "Oh by the way, there's this other super-power that's serving as America's sidekick." The only reason they're in the book is to give the Americans the intelligence they base the plot off on.

Besides that, there's the whole America is great, Russia is a nation of savages dichotomy.

Or the fact that the faction names and the kinetic rods were the only tech from the game in the book.

Or the terrorists being a bunch of mysterious environmental hippies instead of a coalition of people from third-world countries.

Lastly, there was the Maj. Dennison/Russian Colonel "romance" subplot. Quite honestly I interpreted Alice's actions around the Colonel towards the end of the book to be a manifestation of sexual attraction, which I found both stupid and creepy.

I might read it if I saw it in some airport bookstore and I had nothing to read for a long flight, otherwise the first was nothing special.

Well I just finished Red Storm Rising
RSR was better but the EndWar book was very enjoyable

No. The story was rubbish. Paris gets zapped by a kinetic rod, as in Endwar's first trailer. Fine. Why then are there are Enforcer units fighting in Canada? Surely they should be fighting to drive the Russians back. And the bit in Cuba. How did the Russians get all the way to Cuba?

The developers/writers/anyone who revives the franchise should get rid of the good vs evil. All the factions as shady would be much better.
