The amazing looking RPG coming for 360 later this year may not yet be out, but that doesn’t mean some prequel novels can’t already be on the way. The book titled Mass Effect Revalations is written by New York bestseller Drew Karpyshyn. Here’s a quick synopsis of the story in the upcoming book.

In MASS EFFECT: REVELATION, commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station; smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can’t trust and pursued by an assassin he can’t escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy.
