Quantum Break is getting its own novel: read an excerpt here

Besides the video game and TV series-like videos, the upcoming Quantum Break video game will also have a tie-in novel. The book is written by Remedy Entertainment‘s Cam Rogers.

Entitled Quantum Break: Zero State, the novel will follow the events of the game, and with most tie-ins, should give a different perspective on events.

The novel introduces protagonist Jack Joyce and Paul Serene as they’re caught in a life or death situation while recounting events from the previous evening. It also introduces two new characters, Zed and Aberfoyle.

Here’s a sample snippet:

Last night Jack and Paul had taken a six-pack and the dinghy that belonged to Jack’s departed dad and went fishing, way out on the Mystic River. Good times, had a few brewskis, Paul crashed on Jack’s couch. Then Paul had woken abruptly as he was tossed off Jack’s couch by a side of beef with a handgun. And now they were here.
