Battlefield 4: Countdown to War
Christmas season is coming and our minds are churning with the possibilities of what to buy for our friends and family and, more importantly, what’s awaiting us under the tree. Well, whether you’re thinking of yourself or thinking of others, Father Gollancz has it all covered because how better a way to deal with the stress of family than blowing away strangers on epic shooter Battlefield 4?
The crazy kids over on our sister imprint Orion Fiction have been working hard on the tie-in thriller to the game, Battlefield 4: Countdown to War by Peter Grimsdale. Check out the blurb:
It’s dark. It’s twenty below freezing. And CIA operative Lazlo Kovic is on the North Korea border leading a joint US-Chinese mission that is going straight to hell. The US team are massacred and the Chinese guides flee. Kovic is the only survivor.
On his return to base in Shanghai, his superiors in the CIA are suspicious of his miraculous return. But Kovic is looking for payback. He lost a lot of friends on that mission. So he puts together a crack team from the Chinese underworld – a hacker, an expert thief and a former-Olympic sniper – and begins to unravel a conspiracy that reaches up to the highest levels of government, both Chinese and American.
Here he discovers a deadly plot, one that will plunge the world into war . . .
Battlefield 4: Countdown to War is the official prequel to the game’s story, laying the groundwork and finishing where the in-game story begins and makes a great stocking-filler.
