Watch Dogs: Dark Clouds

About this ebook

 Further explore the world of Watch Dogs with a new story, an entirely digital novel project created inside Ubisoft in collaboration with John Shirley, prolific author and pioneer of the cyberpunk movement

John Shirley naturally transcribed Watch Dogs’ atmosphere, the world of hacking and of a not that fictional Chicago, into a thriller combining high-tech crimes and a bunch of known and new characters.

The novel introduces Mick Wolfe, a veteran, who get caught in a dangerous game in Chicago’s hyper connected and violent underground.

A tie in to the Watch_Dogs game.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a fan of watch dogs. And the story in this book is good. But it gets hard to read. Just too many typos. Seems as though they didn't edit the book for mistake. The author did his job but the editor didn't.

I don't know if it's just Google Play's version but the formatting and editing were just distracting. Spacing errors were numerous and I couldn't tell you how many times I saw 'you' instead of 'your.' The story was decent though. Nothing spectacular and it was a great companion to the game.

In played the game first which I recommend if you plan on playing the game. I do have to say the game puts pieces in that help understand something's. This book is amazing action packed you will be on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend you read this especially if you played the game.
