Mass Effect is the first literary fiction book in the Mass Effect series by author Drew Karpyshyn.
Every advanced society in the galaxy relies on the technology of the Protheans, an ancient species that disappeared 50,000 years ago. When the cache of Prothean technology was discovered on Mars in 2148, humanity was spreading to the stars—the newest species of interstellar life, fighting for its place. in the larger galactic community.

At the edge of colonial space, Confederate ship commander and war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top-secret military research station — fuming ruins littered with unanswered questions. is answered. Who hacked this article, and for what purpose? Where is Kahlee Sanders, the young scientist who mysteriously disappeared from the base hours before her colleagues were killed?

Sanders is currently the prime suspect, but finding her leaves Anderson with more problems than it solves. Teaming up with a rogue alien agent he can’t trust, and promoted by an assassin he can’t escape, Anderson battles impossible odds in yet-to-be worlds. is discovered to uncover a sinister plot… that he won’t live to tell about. Or so the enemy thinks.

As a big fan of Mass Effect I was interested to see if the game would translate into a book and if the characters would come to life as they do when your playing the game. I also wanted to see how the book would rate compared to other science fiction novels, as I’ve read a lot of them. I must admit I was a bit concerned it just wouldn’t add up but I was wrong.

Revelation follows the story of a young Lieutenant Anderson, who if you are familiar with the games plays a significant role. The book and story is surprisingly good, the characters are well rounded and authentic and it actually reads like a normal science fiction story, you could just pick this up without any prior knowledge and enjoy it.

The other characters are written very well and the story allows you to easily ‘see’ them in your mind as you are reading, which after playing the games is great. I would highly recommend this especially to all Mass Effect fans but also to readers of the genre as a whole, it’s surprisingly very good, I’m now on book two.
