Returning to Earth, Cora finds herself a stranger among other humans, and joins the Andromeda Initiative as Alec Ryder's second-in-command. The mission will send 100,000 colonists on a one-way, 600-year-long journey into the unknown.

It's been probably.... well, it's been a long time since I picked up a tie-in book. Most of them I just find disappointing or cheesy. But I liked the authors other work enough to take a chance, and turns out this one was actually done really well. ( )

I tried. I really did. I've had this book out pretty much since it hit the library system and I just can't bring myself to finish it. 9 weeks I've had it out and I just can't. Cora is a barely tolerable character in the game and reading a whole book about her backstory? I was hoping it would help make her more interesting the way the Dragon Age novels did with all theirs, but no. She's still dull. I'm sorry to everyone who really likes her, but I just...can't. ( )

A very fun and superior novel to the other Mass Effect: Andromeda game tie-in. :)

And it's not just because I'm a fan of the author they brought in to do it justice.

It can even be read on its own without knowledge of the games, which is a definite plus, but if you've already played ME Andromeda and enjoyed Cora as a character and you loved Sam as much as I did, this is going to be a real treat.

The events here take place in the Milky Way before they get going and focuses mostly on Cora meeting and eventually gaining papa Ryder's full trust, going about it in a very cool Noir-mystery kind of storytelling.

You know, a human trained my Asari warriors hiring on as a merc, getting shafted by much more powerful forces, getting a little revenge with the completion of the mission and eventually uncovering all the cool little secrets (AI RESEARCH, YO,) that make this universe something special to me. :)

And now we get the FULL story about Cora's little jealousy in the game. :)

I'm quite happy. :) Totally satisfied with the characterizations and plot and I had a great time reading it.

So why only 4 stars? I might be a bit biased against media tie-ins.
But maybe I shouldn't be. ( )

Jag tyckte väl inte Nexus uprising, förra romanen som knöt an till Mass Effect: Andromeda var så vidare värst: den bjöd egentligen inte på något överraskande, och var lite för mycket en lång litania över hur jobbigt det var när de första kolonialisterna kom fram: i sak möjligen korrekt, men också vad den som redan spelat de relevanta partierna väntade sig. Denna bok lyckas då bättre: även om det inte är något riktigt revolutionerande man får reda på om Cora Harper och Alec Ryder, som är huvudpersoner, så är det ändå en del, och en del frågor man undrade lite över får man svar på. Eftersom det hela händer innan avresan så är det inte riktigt lika mycket desperation och misär heller.

Historien är dock onödigt rörig: Cora har precis gått med i initiativet, och får i uppdrag av Ryder att stjäla tillbaka den kod som ligger bakom AI:n SAM. Det hela hamnar snart i en röra med folk som förråder varandra och politiska förvecklingar och hemliga militära projekt, och när allt är över sitter man och undrar vad som egentligen hände. Det plockar upp temat »kan organiska och elektroniska intelligenser samexistera?«, och även om behandlingen här kanske inte är den bästa så är det en någorlunda bra summering av diskussionen i tidigare böcker.

Att det handlar om Cora var kanske nyttigt i stort, men hjälper inte riktigt boken: hon är en ganska lågmäld karaktär, absolut inte tråkig, men inte lika spektakulär som vissa andra. Det stämmer ganska bra på boken i sin helhet också. ( )

This book is pure fast moving formula with almost every sequential disaster preventable by any real thought or planing by persons of half the intelligence of the supposed standing cast. Ignore that N. K. Jemisin is listed as the/an author, she may be responsible for the competence of it's language, but this is otherwise content free. ( )
