Tom Clancy's The Division: Broken Dawn Paperback – March 26, 2019

Really exciting adventure in a world that is compelling to read about. Got into it because I enjoyed the games so much. The action was quite well described and paced. The characters were fleshed-out and interacted realistically with each other. It's better written than the trilogy of other Division novels (Recruited, Compromised, Hunted). Those novels are kinda clumsy with the dialogue-something about the way he uses idioms in a very beginner-level, explanatory way. Like the audience is unfamiliar with the rhythm of normal human conversation, so the author feels the need to take it slow so we can keep up or something. Broken Dawn is written in a much more "adult" way, assumes you are smarter than the other books do. New York Collapse, the "prequel" to this, has been out of print and I went into this without reading that (but I did have the context of the actual games), and I had no problem following along. I have it now, and tbh it's cool reading it second.

Very fast delivery and great book to read

I like this book. It was a good fast paced action thriller. If you take it in the context of TD2 it really brings out some details and nuances and sheds some light on places other than the games' geographic locations. One example of this is the foreshadowing of the black tusk, or the part about the castle and their issues with the True Sons. Reading this has made me want to go play TD2 base campaign again to see where else the stories intersect.

A VERY enjoyable read especially if you played the Division 2. You should find the book interesting till roughly halfway through and then out of nowhere, you’ll be introduced to a new character and you won’t wanna put the book down. Blinding Light will shine on the true intentions of some while others rise from the ashes to save what remains. “There are divisions within The Division.”

Author Alex Irvine delivers an exceptional page turner with characters from Tom Clancy's The Division (Massive Entertainment) (Ubisoft). It is with great hope that he continues to write more books regarding this awesome franchise. If you like The Division video games, and are interested in reading some of the back story and side stories that go with the game, then this book will keep you engaged. The book primarily brings greater context to what is happening in the game in a real life scenario/depiction. There are a few good action chapters/scenes, but that is not the focus here. I think there is a lot more that can be developed with the novel series, so it is my hope that Ubisoft authorizes more franchise novels. Besides the hope for more, I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a Tom Clancy's: The Division fan and likes everything that has to do with the game. The author gives multiple perspectives of what is taking place in this "reality", and ties some of the events from both games, but in a way that expands more of the plot. What I like about the books most of all, is that it transports you into what I would call The Division universe, to make the game more real so to speak. It's definitely a nice addition to the game, but most importantly it develops the plot as a post apocalyptic thriller, and unique in its own right.

Great story! If you are a fan of the Division games you really should read this. This book spent time on my old stomping grounds of Lock Haven, State College, Clearfield, etc. The story is told from multiple characters perspectives ,which creates a rich environment that draws you into the world, especially since Covid.

I enjoyed reading the Events prior to the Dollar bug flu pandemic and how everything ties in with the game. The author did a great job with this book.

I am a fan of the Division games. And I thought the book was going well until Chapter 9. The character takes the MAGAZINE out of a shotgun (Benelli Super 90 series) to check it. There are some shotguns with a magazine (several appear in the games) but the Super 90 is not one of them.In a "realistic" world this is pretty bad (and easy to avoid with Google). It may seem picky to some but for me this is jarring and a bit of a break when reading.Please fix this as otherwise I like the book.
