Mass effect initiation pdf download

This book actually got me into playing Mass Effect: Andromeda again - I had paused the game for a few months due to time and work reasons the usual blah but as soon as I put the book down, I got right back on the computer to continue the journey. So yeah. Loved it. And now I need more. Check out Mogsy's review if you are after something slightly more coherent - she make so many good points and I totally agree with her statement: "For a sci-fi action novel, Initiation is well-written and solid.

I'll read anything by her but haven't read all by her There is more than enough story here in its own right, and I was sad to see the story end.

The main character was dynamic enough, had inter 4. The main character was dynamic enough, had interesting backstory, and had a good arc of development from start to end. She's a badass, which of course makes me love her. Badass without the nasty "I'm a goddess" kind of attitude mimics classic boy-heroes. Indeed, I'm long since tired of novels where women are to be saved rather than doing the saving. And Cora does some serious saving. Sweet bits. Other characters are interesting as well, and enough motivation and backstory is here to make it feel real in a sci-fi setting, of course.

Sometimes I didn't get a good idea of what races looked like, though that could have been a function of audio consumption. The brain mine, at least just isn't as good at listening as seeing.

I had a few criticisms, but stuck with five stars instead of four for the fun little media blips between chapters and throwbacks to the original trilogy that felt natural and were often humorous. May 21, Bobby rated it really liked it. I liked this book a lot, but I suspect at least some of that has to do with me loving the Mass Effect games. It was good to get some more insight into a character in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

It also answered a few questions that the game didn't go into much detail about. Unlike a normal book, I already knew everything about the world and background. I did find it interesting to read descriptions of things I already knew about, and I thought that was pretty well done. There was also some things tha I liked this book a lot, but I suspect at least some of that has to do with me loving the Mass Effect games.

There was also some things that don't get described in the games that were easier to show in book form. So we got a few things on how people actually live in normal society that I enjoyed learning about. The characters were done pretty well, although I will say one character seemed a little off from how they were portrayed in the games. That wasn't too big of a deal though, and I enjoyed getting a more in depth view of Cora and her motivations. Overall, a good read if you love Mass Effect and want more of it.

I think the author did a great job of making it accessible to people who haven't played the games. I doubt many people who haven't played the games will read it, but they could if they wanted to. It does leave lots of things unresolved if you haven't played Andromeda, and there's lots of hints of things that happened in the first two games, so it really is better to read this if you've played the games. If you don't care about that and just want a space adventure, then it's not bad at all and has some good action scenes.

Side note: I do recommend Nexus Uprising regardless, as it provides crucial details as to why the Nexus is in the state it is when Ryder appears on the scene beyond the "Oh, yeah, we had a Rebellion! Nexus Uprising also builds Sloane Kelly as a per 4. Nexus Uprising also builds Sloane Kelly as a person and develops her beyond the one-dimensional antagonist we see in the game proper.

This is capitalized upon as the novel's protagonist, Cora, deals with faces, places, organizations, and themes longtime fans of the series are all too familiar with--Khalisah al-Jilani, Councilor Udina, Systems Alliance, Illium, the Council and their infamous AI ban.

Fast paced and action packed, Initiation nonetheless delivers quality character development, detailing the personal journey of not only Cora Harper, but Alec Ryder and SAM, as they prepare to leave the Milky Way and travel to Andromeda. Jan 21, Helena Alford rated it it was amazing. I enjoyed the glimpse into what makes her tick, her relationship with Ryder and why Cora didn't become the Pathfinder. Honestly, this is a must read if you're a fan of the game.

Jan 11, Mike rated it really liked it. Jemisin and Mac Walters, despite the bland, dull title, is a pretty awesome book. Something like "Initiation" is what Mass Effect fans have been hoping for all along.

She is a valuable supporting character and possible love interest during the Mass Effect: Andromeda video game. The secondary character is Alec Ryder, the Human Pathfinder. He plays a small, but pivotal role in the Mass Effect: Andromeda video game. Lieutenant Cora Harper is coming home after years in Asari space as a biotic soldier or "huntress.

Her mentor steered her towards the Andromeda Initiative--a venture to colonize the next galaxy. But Cora isn't so sure the Andromeda Initiative is where she wants to be, since it involves years of being frozen to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.

And there are no guarantees about what they will find when they arrive. That's where Alec Ryder, the Human Pathfinder, comes in. He's Cora's direct superior in the Initiative. But the two of them don't develop a rapport right off the bat. Ryder needs to know if Cora has the right mettle to be his successor in the job as Pathfinder--both a military leader and a diplomat with ambitions to explore the next galaxy.

Hid first assignment for her is a dangerous one--to recover stolen Andromeda Initiative technology from a shadowy cabal. To do this, she reunites with an Asari mercenary she knows very well.

And she agrees to have an "almost" artificial intelligence wired into her head. In the Mass Effect universe, any artificial intelligence usually becomes some kind of untethered evil force determined to wipe out all the "flawed" organic species. But the theft of the proprietary tech is only the beginning of a much larger conspiracy.

There are forces in our galaxy who don't want the Andromeda Initiative to succeed. Not only do they want to control Ryder's innovative tech, they want to destroy it if they can't possess it. And Cora finds herself with no one to trust except the computer voice in her head, which may be too close to a true artificial intelligence to really rely on. If you're a fan of the Mass Effect universe, this is going to be a fun read for you. Mass Effect: Andromeda: Initiation by authors N.

ME: Andromeda: Initiation, focuses on Lieutenant Cora Harper who joins the Andromeda Initiative, a mission to send a fleet of colonization ark ships to the Andromeda Galaxy, each carrying a different council race. When key data is stolen by unknown parties, Alec Ryder personally recruits Cora Harper to retrieve it before it can be used Mass Effect: Andromeda: Initiation by authors N.

When key data is stolen by unknown parties, Alec Ryder personally recruits Cora Harper to retrieve it before it can be used against the Initiative.

If she fails, the Andromeda mission may be crippled before it begins. Harper is a human who has trained with the asari squad known as Talein's Daughters, under the direction of Nisira T'Kosh herself. Yet her training may not be enough when she discovers that she can trust no one-perhaps not even Ryder himself. I really enjoyed revisiting places and even a minor character from the original Mass Effect trilogy and I'll confess I took a break from this book to replay Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Overall, this is a nice read if you love the Mass Effect Universe and action-packed and intrigue-filled SF. Mar 12, June rated it really liked it.

I know nothing about the game Mass Effect. That is not an issue,apparently this series is the preview before the start of the game.

Jemisin takes a more lighthearted tone in this action packed science fantasy novel. For those nerds out there, there are some credible science facts but that is mixed with some fantastical elements.

I did have to do reading on the mass effect on Wikipedia and it definitely helped me appreciate certa I know nothing about the game Mass Effect. She was assigned to the asari commando unit Talein's Daughters, where she honed her abilities to become a skilled and deadly huntress. Returning to Earth, Cora finds herself a stranger among other humans, and joins the Andromeda Initiative as Alec Ryder's second-in-command.
