He should be able to get the father-son relationship, a key element in the PlayStation 4 game, as exciting in a novel format as possible.

„His vengeance against the gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive … and teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series -satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and a powerful narrative – and fuses them anew,” Amazon’s description says.

God of War: The Official Novelization will be available from August 28. It costs ten bucks on Kindle, and 15 dollars in paperback format, respectively. You can pre-order it here, and it seems there might be an audiobook version in the works, too.
