BioWare is bringing out a new Mass Effect book titled Mass Effect Retribution, which was scribbled by the same bloke who wrote the other two (Drew Karpyshyn).
Here's what you can expect:
"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..."

Seems like a spectacularly bad idea...
"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..."
And there we have it! "Perfect plan" (aka. spectacularly bad idea) which will likely lead to mass mayhem, death, misery and destruction for X amount of people! Prediction achieved!
I'm loving the first game still, having dug it out to finish it before the sequel arrives. One problem though, and this novel's cover reflects this: too similar to the Matrix?
