Del Rey Books and Bethesda have teamed up to bring you a novel based on the upcoming RAGE video game. The novel, simply titled "RAGE" is being written by author and game writer, Matt Costello.
The book is slated to be released in the UK, British Commonwealth, and in North America on August 30, 2011. The game itself is slated for release during the week of September 13, 2011 across a multitude of platforms.
The novel delves even deeper into this world and its characters through the pen of Matt Costello--the same person who helped write the story for the game. The world was doomed and only some of the population could be saved. That was what the scientists were saying, at least. So the best and brightest were gathered and put into stasis deep beneath the surface of the Earth--buried so that man could live.
When Lt. Nick Raine emerges from his Ark, he finds the human race has not been wiped out. And people, as resilient as they are, are scraping together a new world from the rubble of the old. This was not what anyone in the Arks expected--a new society where might is right, mutants plague the Earth, and “friend” is a term for the person who hasn't stabbed you in the back.
