Tom Clancy's The Division: New York Collapse: A Survival Guide to Urban Disaster Paperback – Folded Map, 8 Mar. 2016

Not finished reading this yet, bought along with the Sleeper Agent Edition and Art Book, there was actually a problem with delivery of this item even though I pre-ordered it way in advance, couldn't really understand the lady with the thick West Indies accent but it eventually arrived.Anyway this is really an excellent, near perfect example of computer game merchandise, I love the fact that on it's own it is a very well written Survival Guide, like the one in the Far Cry 3 Insane Edition, but this is of a different standard in comparison. The extra dimension to this product is that it feels lived in, the blood droplets and singed edges of pages, detailed hand written notes of actual events depicted in the game scribbled in the margins of practically every page, I forget what there called but in one of the April Kellerer memory sequences in the game it refers to an actual paragraph written on a specific page of the guide, the developers and author obviously worked closely in tandem to achieve such a high standard for this product, the relics included are also a very nice touch which just make the item feel that much more authentic, a map of Manhattan and used bus ticket are just a couple of relics included which are also produced to a high standard, can't recommend enough, easily worth double the original price obviously only if your a big fan of the game.

This is an excellent book which complements the computer game "The Division". In the computer game you are a special agent in a unit called "The Divison" who are airlifted in to assist the remaining civil and military authorities on Manhatten Island in New York City when a major "world wide"? epidemic breaks out. This book is at one level a "survival preppers" manual which gives you hints on how to survive a catastrophic natural or man-made disaster. However its the notes written in the margins that bring the book alive. Without spoiling the story they are written by a woman who was given the book by her husband (why?) and has survived (so far) the outbreak of the "Dollar bug" disease. It relates her experiences in moving around the city - annotating the survival manual with notes on what has happened. Also in the book are clues / coded messages about who could have been involved in the disease outbreak? This ties in with her personal story. There are encounters with the Division agents, cults such as the "Cleaners" etc. who you interact with during the computer game.The extras in between the pages of the book are a great touch. They include a map of Manhatten Island (suitably blood stained and grubby with use) which show buildings which might be accessible in the game? - is the Armoury of the 69th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment / National Guard unit accessible - if so it might have military grade weapons and ammunition?; a used ticket for the subway system; a CERA Notice of Vaccination.I'm heading back to Amazon now to buy my "Bear Grylls" survival knife, Go Bag, strong bin liners and several rolls of Duct Tape ;)

This is the best thing ever!! More reasons to fall in love with The Division! When I was reading the book I felt like I was in New York with the Dollar Flu and I had to find out how to survive by using this book and working out the clues. It's more than a book, it's more than a gaming merchandise. It's full with lots of tips and details and even pull out posters and train tickets. I waited a month even though i pre order but it was well worth the wait!

I bought this as a Christmas present from a wish list so I trust it will be well appreciated. Delivery was very quick and the packaging was well secured.

Linked to the Ubisoft game The Division, the book answers a number of questions and provides background info to a number of elements within the single player game. It's quite satisfying to find a scene in the game where you know how the characters got there, and what they're motivation was, and this adds depth to the game. The book is well presented, has a number of 'artifacts' within it such as a map, a postcard, tube ticket, etc. to bring life to the story, but aside from a few a-ha moments, there's not enough puzzles in it for my liking and the ones that are in there are fairly tame. Also, unless I missed something, there isn't a major reveal at the end. Other than that, if you own The Division game you have to get this, and I guess it would work as a stand alone book as well.

Big fan of the first game so he loved this as a gift! Has extras like maps and other accessories!

It's interesting book for The Division fans (but not a must have). It's also a useful book with non-fictional informations/tips for surviving a real catastrophe.The book includes notes from a fictional person living in the "The Division" universe that complement the in-game history. The person also appears in-game in one of the final side-missions. Again, the person story and informations inside the book are not vital to understand The Division's main story but only complementary.

Amazing book if you like and want to dig deeper into the story of TD. Perfect artwork, with removable objects and with TD taste. Must buy for fan of the game

The media could not be loaded. Pura imersão! Vc sente como se realmente estivesse em posse de um guia de sobrevivência real. Cada detalhe do livro foi pensado para q tivéssemos essa sensação. Gostei demais!

C’est rare ce genre de livre , très beau et surprenant à utiliser, plein de petit "outils" pour avancer dans la lecture ça change des autre livre.

Lo primero de todo, para que no existan sorpresas: Está totalmente en inglés. Ahora bien, si eres fan del universo The Division tienes que tener una copia de este libro. Es espectacular, los acabados son muy buenos, las anotaciones, tanto en los márgenes como en un par de sitios mas (No quiero desvelar ninguna de las sorpresas que tiene) parecen escritas a mano de verdad, con letra distinta, distintos tamaños, distintos colores...Además trae, como decía, alguna que otra sorpresa, en plan un mapa, un par de anuncios....asique como empecé la reseña, si eres fan del universo TD....cómpralo, sin duda.

Essendo appassionato di videogiochi, ho parecchi libri sul tema: guide strategiche, racconti, artbook con bozzetti e opere varie, ma non mi ero mai imbattuto in un prodotto come questo. E' veramente fuori dagli schemi. Solo tenendo in mano questo libro si percepisce la qualità e l'attenzione per i dettagli che ha del maniacale. Le due copertine (fronte e retro) sono state trattate per sembrare invecchiate, ingiallite, consumate e strappate. Le pagine interne simulano l'invecchiamento della carta, lo sporco, gli schizzi di sangue secchi e le bruciature dovute all'utilizzo continuato ed intensivo. Al suo interno ci sono post-it scritti a mano, tessere bucherellate per rivelare codici, foto, manifesti, avvisi, mappe e pagine di libri strappate. E' pieno di indovinelli, rebus ed informazioni che l'autore ha celato per indurre il lettore-videogiocatore ad andare avanti e scoprire sempre cose nuove. E' stracolma di disegni, schemi e soluzioni per sopravvivere al peggio in caso di calamità estreme. Viene presentata come una guida per la sopravvivenza in caso di attacco, epidemia o evento catastrofico, scritta da un autore "fittizio", ma in realtà è molto di più: è un collegamento reale tra la carta stampata e la serie di videogiochi. Purtroppo è solamente in inglese perché non sarebbe stato possibile tradurre questa mole di informazioni ed indovinelli in italiano o altra lingua. Per gli appassionati della serie di The Division è veramente un acquisto fondamentale ed obbligato, anche solo da collezione. Al prezzo al quale viene venduto è un affare. Servizio Amazon impeccabile come sempre.

Excelente coleccionable, algunas paginas son las que vienen en el juego(las que recolectas) te cuenta desde cómo cayó NY hasta de lo que te debes de cuidar, las hojas son perfectas, viene con pequeñas hojas ítems que el autor “en teoría” escribió mientras narraba el libro. Lo bueno: Conexión con el juego. Grosor del libro.Lo malo: Viene en inglés, solo eso.Si eres fan del juego; este es tu libro!!!
