English Summary/英文概要： The first of three official tie-in novels to the popular Brothers In Arms series of video games. Brothers In Arms is a WWII-era series of video games based on the true story of the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne. The first game was released in March 2005 and the series quickly asserted itself as the highest-rated WWII action franchise to date. The next will be summer 2009 and the third summer 2010.
The first two Brothers in Arms games (Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood) have combined to sell over 3.5 million copies to date! The third multi-platform release, Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway, is scheduled for release in Spring 2008, for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 systems. Hell’s Highway will be pushed with a $10 - $15 million worldwide marketing campaign, and the licensor (Gearbox Software) has agreed to cross-promote the novel in the game packaging.
The author, John Antal, is an employee of Gearbox Software, helping to write the first Brothers In Arms game, and he has also been central to the development of the two sequels.
