Sorry for the misleading headline, but I couldn't pass it up. While you're still going to have to wait more than a month for Rage (the video game), you can pass the time by reading Rage (the novel). The book is authored by Matt Costello, who also happened to be a writer for the video game. Read below to learn about the book's premise.
"In RAGE, the asteroid Apophis has annihilated Earth, and only a small percentage of humanity’s best and brightest have been saved. Buried deep below the ground in life-sustaining Arks, these chosen few are tasked with one vital mission—to restore civilization to a devastated planet hundreds of years after the impact. The novel centers around Lieutenant Nick Raine, an Ark survivor that emerges into the apocalyptic world of RAGE to confront a would-be tyrant."
The Rage novel is available now. Rage, the video game, will be available on October 4th, 2011 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
