Listings for a book (potentially) based on Battlefield 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/Battlefield-3) have started cropping up at various literary outlets around the web,
in both paperback and eBook flavors. Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-3-Author-TBD/dp/1455508926) lists the book as a 400-page "Mass Market Paperback" by Andy McNab (http://www.andymcnab.co.uk/), an author and war-vet who, according to Gamersbook (http://www.gamersbook.com/scene/news/battlefield-3-motion-capturing-techniques/), has been advising BF3 developer DICE (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/DICE) on their motion-capture techniques. Barnes & Nobel also has a listing (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/battlefield-3-andy-mcnab/1030629920) for Battlefield 3, this time in as a Nook eBook, with both McNab and BF3 Executive Producer Patrick Bach cited as authors.
We can also assume that these listing aren't for a strategy guide, as the "Mass Market Paperback" classification is reserved for novels and the like, whereas strategy guides are classified as "Paperbacks." The tremendously tantalizing tome is available for pre-order at both outlets, with Amazon listing the release date as October 25 and B&N reporting a November release window. We've reached out to the book's registered publisher, Grand Central Publishing (http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/publishing_grand-central-publishing.aspx), for more information.
