The Gathering Storm Reviewed

I am an avid reader of Sci Fi books. I enjoyed the book from Mr. Dietz set on the Halo universe, so I was looking forward to reading this one. The book is enjoyable for even those that are not familiar with the Playstation game, because of the nice descriptions provided by the author style of writing. In my opinion is a fine book, which leaves you wanting to see more on the battle for the planet.

Awesome Read, Start Of A Great Trilogy!

I am not a gamer, but have friends that have played the game that the book is based on and talk about it all the time. I am glad that I downloaded this book to my Kindel, Mr. Dietz did an outstanding job of putting this NOVEL together. It is well written and I love the way the plot has both a military side and a political side to it, the character developement was exellent. I had this book read in less than two days, it was hard to put down. I have and will continue to reccommend this book to my friends and anyone reading this review, it is worth the money!!!! There will be more Resistance books to follow, I promise you that!!!

Great read!

I am a fan of the PS3 games, so I thought I would grab the book as a filler between the two games, and I am glad I did. It really drops you in the middle of war torn America, following the fictional time line setup from the first game, and then bridging the gap to the second game. I hope there will be more books in the future, I read this book in 2 days as I did not want to put it down. It had good character development, as you would feel the pain of the heroes, and wish pain upon the villains (not just the Chimera). Even if someone was not a video game fan, they could still read and enjoy this book as it could stand on it's own. J

Very Surprised

I like to read on a long road trip. I stopped by Chapter's on my way out of town and the front cover of this book caught my eye. I did not realize this book was based on a video game. I am a grandmother and over 50. But I can truthfully say this was a damn good book and had a great plot. I read it on my breaks at work and late at night when I should have been sleeping. I didn't want to put it down. I'm am going to look at the other books by this author.

Good Read!!

Excellent book!! Enjoyed the many facets the story offered and the spirit of the American characters was balls to the wall. This book sets the stage for books 2 & 3, I hope. It would be a shame to let the story end like this cause you just know Lt. Hale will recruit his adopted sister Susan to smoke some Chimera butt!!
