(2904) Mass Effect; Ascension by Drew Karpyshyn

Publisher's Summary

It's humankind versus a race of machines bent on harvesting organic life in this second official novel based on the BioWare video game.

From AudioFile

In this sci-fi tale by author Karpyshyn, humankind must come together, despite its underlying differences, to combat its greatest threat ever: an army of robots hell-bent on harvesting organic life. Based on the popular BioWare video game series, the story features action-packed battles between man and machine but fails to generate sustained excitement because of a lackluster narration by David Colacci. Also, unlike similar audiobooks in the genre, MASS EFFECT lacks ear-pleasing aesthetics such as realistic sound effects or a rousing score. The result is a slow and often-monotonous production.
