Tied into the record-breaking Xbox Game Studios video game Gears 5, Gears of War: Bloodlines reveals a mission that takes place within the events of the game. Stinging from a defeat by the Swarm and the grievous injury of her best friend, JD Fenix, Kait Diaz finds herself forced to choose between following her mother’s Outsider ways, or her duty as a Coalition of Ordered Governments soldier like her father, Gabe Diaz: hero of the upcoming Xbox Game Studios video game Gears Tactics.

Following Reyna Diaz’s death at the hands of the Swarm (in Gears of War 4), Kait seals her mother’s tomb and swears revenge. As she, JD, Del, Marcus, Cole, Samantha, and Baird lick their wounds and resupply, First Minister Jinn summons them to New Ephyra, promising that the “crimes” they committed will be forgiven. Before they can rejoin the Coalition, however, Jinn demands proof of their loyalty, and of the threat of the Swarm. Promised a new command, JD and Del agree. Plagued by nightmares, Kait rebels and refuses.

A spaceship that vanished years ago has been found, along with the bodies of its murdered crew - save one.

In the mid-23rd century, Darwin, Australia, stands as the last human city on Earth. The world has succumbed to an alien plague, with most of the population transformed into mindless, savage creatures. The planet’s refugees flock to Darwin, where a space elevator—created by the architects of this apocalypse, the Builders—emits a plague-suppressing aura.

Captains Skyler Luiken and Gloria Tsandi (and their respective crews) have smashed through the deadly Swarm Blockade but now find themselves scattered around the planet Carthage and the space stations she holds in her orbit. Their mission is now twofold: destroy the military compounds of a race of nefarious alien overlords and find a way back home to Earth. Standing in their way are a race of horrifying, technologically advanced aliens armed with incredible weapons.

Im abschließenden Teil der "Die Letzten der Erde"-Trilogie beginnt für die Helden ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit: Während Skyler und Tania überall auf dem Globus außerirdische Artefakte suchen, die helfen könnten, die globale Seuche einzudämmen, die die Menschheit auszurotten droht, steht die Rückkehr der rätselhaften "Erbauer" kurz bevor. In der afrikanischen Wüste stößt Skyler auf neue Relikte der fremden Zivilisation - und auf erbitterten Widerstand durch die Infizierten. Für alle Beteiligten wird eine Frage immer drängender: Wer sind die Erbauer wirklich und was wollen sie mit der Erde?

Der Science Fiction-Roman "Darwin City" spielt in der Mitte des 23. Jahrhunderts, nachdem eine Seuche den größten Teil der Welt entvölkert hat. Ein letzter sicherer Hafen ist die australische Stadt Darwin, in der mysteriöse außerirdische Architekten einen Weltraumaufzug errichtet haben, der in einem gewissen Radius Schutz vor der tödlichen Krankheit bietet. In dieser zerstörten Welt gerät ein Mann, der eigentlich nichts weiter will als überleben, zwischen die Fronten eines gnadenlosen Machtkampfs.
