Mass Effect: Revelation (Mass Effect, #1)
Drew Karpyshyn
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.

Your rating:
This is my first video game tie-in novel. The video game is the classic "Mass Effect," and the novel is written by the same fellow who wrote the game. There's a lot of knowledge here.
The story is a rather straightforward spy thriller, but with an interstellar twist. It's helped by the reader's presumed familiarity with its milieu and affection for its protagonist, and that's a fair bet. I enjoyed this book and plan to read the next two "Mass Effect" novels. Your mileage will probably vary with your familiarity with the games.
