mass effect homeworldsThis book gives you a good insight into the characters of the hit video game [amazon_link id=”B004FYJFNA” target=”_blank” ]Mass Effect 3[/amazon_link]. In four stories written by the folks that wrote the game you’ll come to find out how these four main characters are connected to their homeworlds. The first three stories,especially, fill in some details about character motivation. While the last story connects them all to some extent and furthers the storyline, which is of course continued in the game.

Sadly I have never played the game but in reading this (and seeing the massive amounts of books and soon to be release animation video) it makes me want to go out and get the game. I like playing games that let you really get into the story and this book does just that.

This trade paperback pulls together all four issues (#1 through #4) of [amazon_link id=”1595829555″ target=”_blank” ]Mass Effect: Homeworlds[/amazon_link] into one volume.
