About this eBook

An all-new adventure inspired by the award-winning videogame from BioWare!

The universe is under siege. Every fifty thousand years, a race of sentient machines invades our galaxy to harvest all organic life-forms. They are the Reapers.

Two people who know the truth are desperately searching for a way to stop the cycle: Navy admiral David Anderson and his partner, Kahlee Sanders. They have uncovered grisly evidence proving that the Reaper threat is real. But in so doing they have exposed the machinations of Cerberus, a secretive paramilitary organization, and its mysterious leader, the Illusive Man—putting David and Kahlee in mortal danger, for Cerberus will stop at nothing to protect its secrets.

But along the way, they find an unlikely ally in Gillian Grayson, a young woman with extraordinary powers. Once the subject of horrifying scientific experiments, Gillian is now free—and beginning to master her deadly abilities. But after learning that Cerberus was responsible for the death of her father, Gillian swears vengeance against the group and the Illusive Man—threatening to unravel everything Kahlee and David are fighting for.

I bought this book the day it came out, excited to read it... it only took a few pages for my excitement to be crushed. it was like the author didn't bother looking at any of the previous source material. From previous book lore to the game lore. He got the big and small details so wrong i wonder if he just went in blind writing this... it would enplane a few things.

The book before this it was well established that hendel was gay and that Gillian was autistic but I guess that doesn't exist here? As someone gay and autistic it really pisses me off. Just a bit of a change in characterization man. Not even that big of a deal to fix. Y'all are bad at writing your own damn characters.

If you've read the other novel and completed the games with all DLCs & done all assignment, you know there are many loopholes in this book. Don't even waste your time on this book.
