About this listen

With a new game, Mass Effect Andromeda, set for release in 2017, the launch of a new series of Mass Effect novels is timely. The new game will take the story in a dramatic new direction and is set in a new region of space, with a new and deadly enemy.

Titan is publishing four unmissable Mass Effect novels. The novels will act as prequel and sequels to the events in the games and will become part of the overarching Mass Effect saga. These new stories, developed in close collaboration with the Bioware game team, weave directly into the action of the new game - and will reveal events kept secret over the course of game play - and will add to the canonical Mass Effect saga.

A little slow to get started, but this book is quite an enjoyable one from start to finish. Is an interesting murder mystery involving some of the other species in the mass effect universe, including my favourite the hanar.

If you're a big fan of the mass effect series his adds a nice bit of lore to it and is worth a listen.

A bit slow, but overall enjoyable

The narrator was absolutely amazing in this book. Having been a longtime fan of the games, his accents regarding each species was spot on and by far my favourite pay of the book.

As for the story itself, while not a terrible story, was very much a 'who did it' type where everyone is pointing the finger at each other. They still work together to achieve the end goal but are constantly wary of each other.

Well executed but just not my type of story, nor what I was expecting from a mass effect story.

Fantastic narrator, average story.

I was surprised that this book played out more like a who dunnit story set in the Mass Effect universe
My only real fault with was that the reveal at the end seemed way too rushed and not earned everything was just revealed in the last hour of the reading which was a shame
But other than that a good story with some good narration

A good who dunnit

While I remain saddened by Mass Effect Andromeda being abandoned by EA, this story on the Quarian ark was great, and Tom Taylorson (aka Scott Ryder) performed brilliantly, in my opinion.

Bittersweet lament; this story was excellent.

i enjoyed it. but not knowing what race looks like in this universe, it was hard to remember who was who by the time i was a quarter way through the reading.

who was that again?

A good listen for Mass Effect fans especially if you want to see more from the minor races since they are the main focus of the story. Plus the narrator is great.

Great if you love Mass Effect

A great addition to the ME.A story. The narrator does a great job with all the voices and emotions. The story itself is intriguing and compelling. It is very interesting seeing and experiencing the story from other species point of view and lives that never really get time to shine. As a die hard ME fan and someone who enjoyed Andromeda, even if it was a bit lacking in the story and main antagonist, this eventuality would have been awesome to add to ME.A as a dlc starting from the end of this book. I really enjoyed it and hope that another is made to continue. Although quite difficult with personal character and choices made i guess. Either way a great story and hope for more.

Makes me want a dlc for andromeda all the more

This was my least favourite of the Andromeda series so far, in comparison to the other two. But that could be a bias opinion as I don't like the quarrions. Good read though for any fan of the series. I found it a little bit slow and very drawn out most of the time.

Good Read if a bit slow

This book not only tells a thrilling and gripping story but includes some amazing vocal work.
The story is dark and has some really grim details and moments and I was listening intently from beginning to end.

Amazing story and amazingly read.

Interesting fleshing out of some of the minor races of mass effect, such as the Batarians. Good mystery story from the perspective of non-human races.

Good Story
