A novel based RTS Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars is due out in the US and Canada on May 29, EA has revealed.
It's been penned by Keith R. A. DeCandido, with the storyline sticking close to the plot of the game. "The year is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium-a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth-is spreading like a radioactive ice age", the publisher's said.
"The Global Defense Initiative, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. In the midst of battles throughout the world, a third alien race emerges, and all-out war rages over Tiberium. The fate of the planet rests in the balance."
