he second Mass Effect novel, titled Mass Effect: Ascension, will be out in the Summer. And while anyone who read the first one will probably be an automatic sell, this book also be of more interest to anyone who's finished the game, as it will be picking up right where the big-selling 360 RPG finished off and serve as a bridge between Mass Effect 1 and 2. Will Sheperd get laid again? Will he catch that *thing* he's after? Will Keith David be returning? He bloody well better be


It will be a definate buy for me has anyone read the prequal novel yet?


I hope the novels based from games become a bigger market as with the like of mass effect their is a great possibility to extend the the mass effect universe.

I read the prequel novel and while the underlying story was good, it was terribly written, I don't think the author had any experience outside of video games storylines and that (in this instance) reflected badly on the novel. A good editor may have been able to salvage something from it but as it was I was very disappointed with it

I see maybe they will get some professionals in to write the new one.

I just read a preview chaptor of the first novel the writing style is very basic though still I want more mass effect badly:)

I'd rather chew on rusty staples tbh.
Books based on games are even LESS appealing to me than movies that are based on games

Books based on games are usually pretty crap with the exception being the Halo books, they're actually better than the games. Though that's not really saying much
