If you’re not satisfied with the end of Kratos’ journey inGod of War III, and can’t wait forhis PSP adventures, how about cracking open a book? On May 25, Sony and publisher Del Rey will release theGod of Warnovelization, which seems to recount in obscene, overwrought detail the events of the PlayStation 2 original.
The first 17 pages of the book have been made available as a preview online, and to give you an idea of what you’re dealing with, here’s the opening paragraph:
At the brink of nameless cliffs he stands: a statue in travertine, pale as the clouds above. He can see no colors of life, not the scarlet slashes of his own tattoos, not the putrefying shreds of his wrists where chains were ripped from his flesh. His eyes are as black as the storm-churned Aegean below, set in a face whiter than the foam that boils among the jagged rocks.
Incredible. Suggestion for Sony and Del Rey — get Kratos voice actor T.C. Carson to read the audio book of this bad boy. Money in the bank, I’m telling you.
