New Resistance novel announced

By Fred Dutton Published 25 January, 2011

Plugs gap between second and third games.

The Resistance universe is due to get a little more meat on its bones this summer, with the release of a second spin-off novel.

According to the PlayStation Blog, Resistance: A Hole in the Sky will pick things up directly after the conclusion of Resistance 2 and follow Resistance 3 hero Joseph Capelli's story right up to the start of the impending threequel.

No firm release date has been confirmed but we do know it's penned by William C. Dietz. You may remember him from such gaming novels as Hitman: Enemy Within, Halo: The Flood, StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils and Resistance: The Gathering Storm.

Non-readers, worry not - your next Resistance fix isn't too far off. The third entry in Insomniac Games' FPS franchise is due for release on PlayStation 3 on 6th September.

    DO. WANT.

    Not sure if the first one was successfull, but I thoroughly enjoyed it... Not mandatory, but still a nice read, even though there were a couple of inconsistencies here and there that could've been avoided.

    Anyone else read the first one? I'll give it a try if a few people liked it. I'll put it on my e-reader and tell people I'm reading Tolstoy or something.
