Volgend jaar zal de game Homefront in de winkels verschijnen voor de consoles en de PC, maar tegelijk zal er ook nog een book verschijnen die zin in het universum van de game afspeelt. Dus bijna een verplichte aankoop voor de mensen die deze titel in huis gaan halen.

A novel set in the Homefront universe and co-written by John Milius (Red Dawn and Oscar Award-winning Apocalypse Now) and New York Times bestselling author Raymond Benson (author of two Metal Gear Solid books and multiple James Bond novels) will be published by Random House's Del Rey imprint, and arrive in early 2011 to coincide with the release of the first Homefront game.

"We're delighted to confirm the first element of what will become a vast transmedia strategy for Homefront," said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President - Core Games, THQ. "John Milius has already worked with us extensively on the Homefront game, and we're thrilled to have him and Raymond on board as we develop our near-future world into other types of media. Random House is a great partner to help us reach an even broader audience."

"Homefront represents a fascinating vision of the near future," added John Milius. "After completing my work on the game, it became clear that there were many more stories to tell, and this book will offer a chilling look at this near-future world."
