Gears Of War 2 Continues In Jacinto's Remnant |

And I know, I know "the Halo universe and ethos is so rich!", ok, perhaps the graphic novel is, but the fact that anyone would search this out or think to themselves that they wanted more of the story from either game is just ridiculous.
Those games are fun, sure, and the story in Halo has more to it than Gears. But still, I can't be the only one who thinks this is at least a little silly.

I think there are fewer forms of "creative" writing lower than taking an established world, collection of characters or what have you and passing it off as your own book.
If Karen Traviss is such a fantastic author why does she not create something instead?
And before anyone says it, no, I have not written a New York Times bestseller, I still get to have an opinion though.

How did you think that she was just writing a story about Gears to make money off of it? There's all sorts of lawsuits there if that scenario was true. I would think that a bibliophile would understand that.

She is doing it to make money off of it. If she wasn't making money she wouldn't do it.
I understand how licensing IP works, it's part of my job, and by the same token, I don't think that the people that make toys / statues of established franchise characters deserve any more artistic credit than do people who write using another persons creation.

"...story was good...easily on par with most Summer blockbuster/action flicks.
DOES NOT COMPUTE.

It's funny you mention mass effect, because just as I submitted my comment, I had the thought, "hmmmm, I'd read a Mass Effect novel.....maybe....nah".

Or, better yet, read a dictionary.
Novelize: To write a novel based on something else, rather than an original work.
If this isn't a novel based on the Gears universe (a NOVELIZATION of the gears universe), what is it?
