Is there really anything about the Mass Effect universe that we didn’t already learn from the extremely high amount of dialogue from the first game or even the spinoff? I guess not because it appears that a new novel is on the way and is scheduled for release in July.
Here is the description of the book which is already available on Amazon for pre-order. The cost? $7.99, not too bad at all.
“Retribution is set in the universe fans know well from the video game and novel series?one in which humanity has explored the very farthest reaches of the universe, only to discover the ruthless Reapers, a race bent on extinguishing all organic life. One man is bent on discovering the Reapers’ secrets, the mysterious Illusive Man, the leader of a pro-human, black ops group, Cerberus. And he’s devised the perfect plan: implant a human subject with Reaper technology in order to study the enemy.
He also has the perfect test subject–Paul Grayson, an ex-Cerberus operative. Grayson betrayed Cerberus in order to save his daughter. So when Grayson is kidnapped and made the subject of Cerberus’ evil experiments, the Illusive Man will finally have his revenge…”
It’d be interesting to see if they ever make a game for that novel. A prequel Mass Effect doesn’t sound like such a bad idea at all.
