Loading... Mass Effect: Revelationby Drew Karpyshyn
None. written in a time before the writing was beaten with a bat by a bunch of young hoodlums named EA. drew karpshyn does well with the mass effect lore, whilst making it both interesting and a succesful fan service. (  ) Jinkla | May 18, 2013 |  Having been a science fiction fan, this was the first game tie-in book I read, and generally the quality is not on par with scifi literature of 2000's and on. The story mostly revolved around a main character in a play-by-play manner. As many other reviewers mentioned before, - the book mostly serves to provide background information to the main story line of the game, to people who care about scifi action-adventure games enough to want more background stories/details. The games themselves provide far more entertainment, not to mention the cornucopia of codex entries. But in the end, if you're engrossed with the in-game story, you will or have already read the book :) (  ) Vvolodymyr | Oct 14, 2012 | Revelation is the prequel story to the critically-acclaimed first Mass Effect video game released in 2007. I'm eager to play the game series, and this book was recommended in order to start things off. The narrative is fun and breezes along with a few surprises. We are introduced to a handful of key characters, and more importantly, to the futuristic world of Mass Effect. A little more character development would have helped, but overall not a bad start. (  ) Daniel.Estes | Aug 13, 2012 | This prequel to the hit 2007 game Mass Effect opens up mainly with Lieutenant David Anderson of the Alliance Navy. Who when we see in the game, talks to Commander Shepard about the run-in he had with the turian Spectre Saren Arterius approx. 18 years before. In the game Anderson didn’t really go into their encounter in much detail. Well, everything is explained in this novel by Karpyshyn, who was the lead writer for the game. He explains the animosity between the turian and human. The novel was impossible to put down, and any fan of the Mass Effect franchise would love this action-packed novel. ( ) philae_02 | May 1, 2012 | not amazing.. but good if you're interested in the backstory before the game. :) ( ) neonarcade | Feb 19, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
