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.

It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

There’s something out there: A juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it. Revan: Hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear.

But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back—bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

Enjoyable story for ME:A fans, but nothing super special.
<in my best Elcor> With indifference: I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It was interesting, and toward the end it touched on a lot of great topics which I wish would have been explored further. With disappointment: Since I expect this to be the final Mass Effect Andromeda novel, I don’t expect any sort of follow-up to these, which given this particular title, is par for the course. <end Elcor>
The story was good, but I’m not sure how it jives with that last scene from Mass Effect Andromeda. I would write that it was good to have a story with few humans, but they were ALL very human: Elcors and Quarians who love Shakespeare; Batarians who are basically just nasty humans; Quarians with (literal) jugulars... anyway. The characters were a little too human, and too many human elements creeped in, making it feel less alien, even by Mass Effect standards. Some interesting topics were broached, like the political/power structures in the new galaxy, but none of them were delved into. It was a golden opportunity that was pushed aside in lieu of a somewhat traditional whodunit. On the bright side, there were giant, floating jellyfish, so there’s that.
This is good (but not great) for anyone who loves Mass Effect, enjoyed Andromeda, and wants to see what happened to the Quarian (and Elcor, Hanar, Volus, Drell, etc) arc. I listened to it fairly quickly, so clearly I enjoyed it.

The second best book out of the 3 books.
Out of the 3 books from the Andromeda Series this book lands as the second best book. Behind book 2 which I feel had the best story out of the 3. but this book I think had the best voice actor's performance out of the 3. I felt like I was playing the game again.

My first Mass Effect book. Loved it.
Somebody told me that the ME: Andromeda Quarian Ark DLC that never happened, had been explained in a book. So I sought this out as my first audio book experience. I loved it
Didn't know what to expect from the book after playing the games... But I liked it. It's great to get more in touch with the other races outside of the Codex.
Good characters.
Good voices.
Good narration.
I'd recommend this to any Mass Effect fans

Please ignore other reviews!!!
In the Mass Effect "world" there are many races. This book pertains to the "lesser" ones.
Unlike the two previous book narrations this one is done well. Every race feels and sounds as they should. The characters are pretty believable and the story while simi predictable is still good. It definitely shows the issues that's many people have when trying to adapt to both other cultures and a different way of thinking. I'm not sure how well it ties into the main story of MEA as DLC wasn't added however I believe that it definitely could have been. The after effects of this story would have been both interesting and possibly disturbing with the addiction of "two" new races added via MEA.
Overall I'm pretty disappointed that a DLC or standalone game didn't come out of the conclusion of this book as I believe if nothing else it could have been both a change of pace for ME or an interesting addition to Andromeda.
Once again please give both the author and narrator a chance because after over 8000 hrs of audio book listening time I believe it's worth it.
