POW #7

The book I am reading is titled Gears of War: Aspho Fields. It is a prequel to the popular video game series. The rating system I have created is called the Cog scale. When something is rated on the Cog scale it is rated from one to five Lancers. A Lancer is the main firearm amongst the characters in Gears of War. Cog stands for Coalition of Ordered Governments which is the form of government in the Gears universe. I would give the book five Lancers so far because I love Gears and there is a lot of action, deep storytelling, and is provides and accurate representation of the event prior to Gears of War one. The image I chose is the Gears of War Omen emblem. This is the logo for everything Gears. When you see the Omen you should immediately think "Gears." I would like to know where Bernie came from. She just popped up out of the blue and I would like some detail as to what her journey was like and how she made it back to Delta squad. Also, I would like to see more of Dom's emotions. This book is about the time when his brother Carlos died and I know it was very traumatic for him. Also his wife has been missing for some time now so I just want to know how he his feeling. "Hey don't talk about Baird like that. He's sensitive, bein' blond and all." Augustus 'Cole Train' Cole said this in an attempt to tease Baird right after they found Bernie. This is significant because they have been fighting the Locust for so long that they are used to it and can even find humor every now and then. They are trying to keep themselves sane because fighting is all they have left. I have enjoyed this book so far and I am looking forward to finishing it.
