Advantages: Allows you to get to know the game a bit better

Disadvantages: None

I finished reading this novel just last week, and I still cannot decide whether or not I liked it.

The book takes place about 30 years before the computer game, Mass Effect takes place.

This book gives the back story of one of the main characters of the game, Anderson.

The book actually starts when Anderson was a recruit, only a decade after humanity was introduced into the Galactic Alliance.

The main purpose of this book was to do a few things. The first was to allow hardcore fans of the game to gain some back story into what happened in the beginning, when humanity was new to the whole galactic community.

The next objective was to give a whole new back story as to what happened to Saren when he "went bad." This also tied into the back story of the mission Anderson went on to become a Spectre, and what went so horribly wrong, which the game hinted at.

Then there is the whole origin of how Saren finds out about all the things he knows in the game.

Enjoy

Summary: A great book to give you a back history to the game
