About this ebook

From the legendary video game franchise! Solid Snake is a soldier and part of a worldwide nanotechnology network known as the Sons of the Patriots System. Time is running out for Snake as, thanks to the deadly FOXDIE virus, he has been transformed into a walking biological weapon. Not only is the clock ticking for Snake, but for the world itself. Snake turns to the SOP for help, only to find that it has been hacked by his old enemy Liquid—and whoever controls the SOP System controls the world. -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

This book is absolutely marvelous. It's in Otacon's perspective, telling the story of MGS4 in his point of view, making this book very interesting. Although one thing to highlight is, this book does not cover the Beauty & the Beast Bosses. It kind of disappointed me, but this book is so detailed and well written, it manages to bypass those bosses, and make the story sound great. If you want to read a novel remake of one of the best PlayStation 3 games of all time, then you my friend, have struck gold. Digital or physical copy, this book will satisfy the customer, and that's how I personally feel. Thank you Kojima, and thank you Project Itoh.

This book captivates every key and non-key story elements of the game. And I'm not too much of a reader, but I'll gladly sit down and read this over and over!

This book is quite possibly the best novelization of a video game I have ever read. A moving tale worthy of being told a thousand times over. Truely a masterpiece! So glad I purchased it!
