    Ascending Author...
  

*by B***F on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2010*

**MINOR NONSPECIFIC SPOILERS**Drew Karpyshyn, author of Baldur's Gate II: The Throne Of Bhaal, and contributing author to a number of Bioware games has given us his second 'prequil' novel with Mass Effect: Ascension. This book has definitely highlighted his growing strength as an author, and while it strongly supports fans of the Mass Effect games, it really stands alone well, even more so than Mass Effect: Revelation. This book is a fantastic sci-fi read with action, adventure, romance, and with a psychological twist or two to satisfy nearly every sci-fi need.Well, come to think of it, I do have some sci-fi needs left unsatisfied...  but this book was very good. Ascension derives its goodness in part from building on the universe created for the Bioware series of games, Mass Effect. Two things stand out developmentally wise: species and element development.As far as species development is concerned, the Quarians receive a little fleshing out in this tale. Tali, a prime Quarian character in the first video game, has gained a rather substantial following, and the mysteries of her race leave a lot of intriguing questions. A few of those questions are answered in the telling of this tale, and this ads a lot to the flavor.Secondly, biotics, an element introduced as a foundation of the Mass Effect universe, finds development in some unusual ways. We get a chance to ponder, what makes a biotic powerful? Can genetic tampering enhance the natural biotic ability? Can the true potential of biotics only be tapped through training? How does the psychology of the subject come into play?Ad in some elements of autism and drug abuse for flavor and you get the story. Intriguing, poignant, and exciting.This story continues the tale of characters from the first prequil, introduces some new characters, and introduces one of the major characters in Mass Effect 2. The story itself is really good, and I found the book hard to put down from beginning to end. Suffice it to say, anyone familiar with the mass effect universe will like this story, and those who are not will get great enjoyment from it too.Highly recommended.

    Book two begins after the game ends.

It has been twelve years since scientist Kahlee Sanders survived the Sidon massacre. And it was thirteen years ago that a toxic disaster exposed thousands of pregnant human females and their unborn children to a deadly cloud of element zero on the Yandoa colony. Some of the human children were born with biotic abilities. All of  them are now at the Jon Grissom Academy, orbiting the planet Elysium. Sanders works with these kids in the Ascension Project. She helps them adjust to and harness their extraordinary powers.Twelve-year-old Gillian "Gigi" Grayson is borderline autistic. Her mental condition makes her emotionally distant, yet she is still the program's most promising student. She has also become the favorite of Hendel Mitra's, chief of security. But unknown to Sanders and Hendel is that Gigi's father is part of Cerberus, a radical pro-human terrorist group led by one known only as the Illusive Man. When Grayson visits Gigi, it is to help Cerberus perform illegal experiments on her.When the Cerberus plot is revealed, Grayson takes Gigi away. Sanders and Hendel convinces Grayson to take them with Gigi. Cerberus is hot on their trail as the trio search for a way to save Gigi. Help comes from a totally unexpected source.**** If you are playing the MASS EFFECT computer game, know that this story takes place AFTER the game ends. If you have not played the game as yet, but plan to, wait until you finish the game before you begin reading this story. This story reveals spoilers by mentioning things that happen in the game.You do not have to read the first book, REVELATION, to fully enjoy this story. Both seem to be stand-alone tales. Even though the main character, Kahlee Sanders, was a big part of the first story, the events have little, if anything, to do with this story's plot. You will never feel lost or confused. The author only mentions things new readers need to know, so you will not be bogged down with a lot of catching up narratives. From the beginning until the ending, this entire story oozes with danger and intrigue. Drama, drama, drama! ****Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good story overall..
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2015*

I liked this book well enough. The writing wasn’t bad, the overall story was fascinating, but at times it felt like there were two many side plots stopping the action’s flow. Which sounds crazy because this book is jam-packed with action and intrigue and backstabbing and Cerberus antics. Karpyshyn brought it all together before the end, but at times I really wished he’d cut back on a couple of the seemingly unnecessary side perspectives, or maybe merged them somehow so we still had that part of the story, but with less deviating perspective. The extra character side stories at times made the whole thing feel a little scattered and unfocused.Overall, it was a good story, another opportunity to spend time in a world I enjoy a great deal, and at some point I will read the third Karpyshyn novel set in the ME universe. 3 out of 3 stars.
