Product Description

Every advanced society in the galaxy relies on the technology of the Protheans, an ancient species that vanished fifty thousand years ago. After discovering a cache of Prothean technology on Mars in 2148, humanity is spreading to the stars; the newest interstellar species, struggling to carve out its place in the greater galactic community.

On the edge of colonized space, ship commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station; smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Who attacked this post and for what purpose? And where is Kahlee Sanders, the young scientist who mysteriously vanished from the base–hours before her colleagues were slaughtered?

Sanders is now the prime suspect, but finding her creates more problems for Anderson than it solves. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can’t trust and pursued by an assassin he can’t escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy . . . one he won’t live to tell about. Or so the enemy thinks.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Kickstart your anticipation, Aoû 29 2007
Par Virus (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I usually avoid book/video game tie-ins like this. In the case of Mass Effect: Revelation I'm glad I took the chance!

The book is basically a prequel to the game "Mass Effect". The book stands alone and develops characters independently however, because it came out FIRST! This means for the reader, that you aren't expected to know what certain things or events are. The author makes no assumptions and vividly describes everything such as what certain alien races look like, rather than rely on their portrayal in the video game.

The story is filled with intrigue, deception, and action. You really get drawn into the universe of Mass Effect. The author makes a commendable effort at introducing the reader, as they are literally an outsider. Important historical events are referenced and explained. Even the nature of the weaponry is explained. The introduction to the universe is seamlessly injected into the story so it doesn't seem like you're reading an encyclopedia at the same time as the overall plot.

It's also worth noting that, if I'm not mistaken, the author is one of the writers for the video game. So really this is as true as it gets to the spirit of storytelling. I'd recommend this book to general sci-fi fans, even if you aren't interested in playing the video game. The only drawback I can see is that the ending definitely leaves questions unanswered that will surely come in the game.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Book one is set before the game., Oct. 23 2008
Par Detra Fitch (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In the year 2148 Earth learned that humanity was not alone when they stumbled across a long abandoned alien bunker on Mars. The items found within the bunker gave humanity major leaps in many technologies and catapulted human society forward hundreds of years, allowing them to conquer the solar system. Then they found a massive piece of dormant technology call a "mass relay" which allowed ships to be instantly transported thousands of light-years away. The first human through the mass relay was Commander Jon Grissom. His bravery made him a legendary hero, whether he liked it or not. (And he did not.) Within a single year of finding the Mars bunker, the entire world united together for the first time and formed the Systems Alliance Military. The Alliance is to defend Earth against non-Terran threats. The First Contact War began when an Alliance patrol accidently trespassed on Turian Empire territory. Luckily, it was short. Humanity became the newest member of a vast interstellar, pan-species society under a governing body called the Citadel Council.

The SSV Hastings receives a distress call from the Sidon Research Facility. Staff Lieutenant David Edward Anderson heads the ground team into the top secret military research station and finds the remains of a massacre. No one knows who attacked the post or why. However, one of the Alliance's top computer and systems technicians, First Lieutenant Kahlee Sanders, had left Sidon without permission only a few hours before the attack. Sanders immediately becomes the prime suspect and it is Anderson's top priority to locate her. Once Anderson learns her father is Retired Rear Admiral Jon Grissom, Anderson races to the planet Elysium in hopes of finding Sanders with her father.

Kahlee Sanders has evidence that Sidon is conducting illegal experiments. The project head, Dr. Shu Qian, is the galaxy's foremost expert on artificial intelligence research. Due to past issues, it is illegal for anyone to conduct AI research. Dr. Qian had not only been breaking that law, but went much further. Sanders leaves Sidon with the evidence, planning to turn him in. She is sitting in a bar when news of the Sidon attack breaks. With all the possible implications going through her mind, Sanders goes to the only man she can trust to actually listen to her side of events, her dad.

Soon Anderson is the only hope of survival Sanders has. Someone has hired a Krogan Battle Master to find Sanders. Anderson cannot trust anyone, not even Spectre Saren who has been assigned to partner with him. (A Spectre is an elite agent of the Citadel's covert Special Tactics and Recon branch. They answer ONLY to the Council and are allowed to act above and outside the law to get their mission done.) But more is going on than any of them could possibly know.

***** I recently purchased the PC version of the game MASS EFFECT. I have played through several times now. Anderson and Saren are large characters in the game. This story is set before the game's time frame. You do not have to play the game or know anything at all when you begin reading this book. It is totally separate. I only mention it because if you are a Gamer, then you may want to pick up a copy of the game to play. The plot/mission in this book are even discussed between characters in the game. By playing the game AND reading the books, you feel as though YOU are an intricate part of the whole thing. It is an awesome feeling!

If you only prefer to read and not play the game, do not worry about possibly feeling lost. As I said, you do not have to know a single thing about anything at all. The author does a fantastic job weaving a web of realistic sci-fi drama that will have you, not glued, but cemented to your seat. The characters are well developed and explained in such a way that you will not feel as though you are being lectured to. The story never slows down in the middle, as most tend to. Be sure to have plenty of alone time before beginning this title. *****

3.0étoiles sur 5 A decent introduction to the Mass Effect universe, Sep 15 2008
There's a weird sort of semi-rule that all science fiction universes must have an interesting-sounding war that took place in the past, about which we never learn much. Mass Effect is no exception, with the prologue setting us up for the First Contact War, and the first chapter skipping it altogether. I love a sense of mystery as much as the next being, but COME ON!

Once you get past that disappointment, it's not a bad novel. Indeed, looking at it as an intro to Mass Effect rather than a scifi novel in general, it would rate four stars. The author does a pretty good job of setting up the backstory for the Mass Effect game. You'll learn a few things about the megalomaniac you're after in the game, as well as getting a bit of a briefing on the politics and 'feel' of the universe. If you want to fully appreciate the game universe, I'd say this novel is required reading.

On the other hand, if you have no plans to play the game, there are frankly better books dealing with similar themes. A good place to start would be A Fire Upon The Deep.

Better yet, buy them both and compare.
