Rage Novel Now Available
Written Wednesday, August 31, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

The new Rage tie-in novel penned by Matthew Costello is now available, telling the story of survivor Lieutenant Nick Raine who emerges from his Ark in the wake of the asteroid Apophis, which has left behind an annihilated Earth where only a small percentage of humanity’s best and brightest have survived, buried beneath the surface in life-preserving Arks.

Raine makes his way to Earth's destroyed surface only to find that a primitive new society has developed in which life is incredibly short and survival is something you have to fight for. Mutants and bandits wander the wasteland preying upon the weak, and a shady military group called the Authority lords over the population with an iron fist.

Worse still, a would-be tyrant is looking to impose his will upon the post-apocalyptic planet, so armed with his combat training and survival instincts, Raine must rise to the new challenges he faces in the wasteland. The Rage novel is out now for an RRP of £6.99.

Rage is out on October 4th in North America and October 7th in Europe.

The game looks great and its from the father's of FPS....but thanks to the write up I can't help but feel this is a Fallout clone. Still its a day 1 purchase for me.

Don't read it! The events as depicted will make you seriously angry...

@2, it's supposed to be a cross between FO and Borderlands....

#3 - They have already addressed the Fallout/Borderlands discussion; Rage has been in the works for YEARS, and was concieved before either of those title.

It is already getting critical acclaim even though it has not come out. They didn't say "Best selling" or "highly rated", they are speaking accurately to the positive hands on time that people have been getting with it.

The game looks sweet; and any Halo, CoD, Battlefield, FPS fan needs to at the very least respect what id does as a developer... they created the genre you love.

@#13 Rage and Borderlands started production almost similtaneously (around 2006-2007). Fallout 3 started production before 2004 and was a continuation of a game series that was first released in 1997.

From what we have seen of the storyline there is little doubt that Rage has borrowed heavily from the original Fallout storylines. However, both storylines are pretty generic post-apocolyptic storys that have been been told in similar manners for decades if not centuries.

If you're on the fence about buying this book, you can read an "excerpt" online:

Looks like the first eight chapters (53 pages).
