Former SAS operator and author Andy McNab is in the process of co-writing a Battlefield 3-themed novel, Electronic Arts has confirmed.
‘The Russian’ centres on an operator named Dmitri Mayakovsky (aka Dima), one of two soldiers who appears in Battlefield 3’s single-player mode. In addition to McNab, the novel will also feature writing contributions from Peter Grimsdale.
Battlefield 3: The Russian will be released alongside the DICE-developed shooter in October 2011.
