Get an early taste of the BioShock: Rapture novel
13
Announced in a partnership back in 2009, the Tor and Take-Two undertaking of BioShock: Rapture, a novel detailing the events of Rapture prior to the original game, is finally making its way to bookshelves on July 19. Tor, in anticipation of this event, has published the first excerpt of the novel to the public, taken from the book's first chapter.
The prequel novel is written by John Shirley, an accomplished screen and songwriter, as well as the Bram Stoker-award winning author of Black Butterflies. He also wrote the script for The Crow, so Brandon Lee fans take note. To read the excerpt, hit up the source link below.

I had no idea this was a thing until now. Awesome.
Another date to mark on my nonexistent calendar, then.

This may be the only game-based novel that I'll ever read.

If you're a fan of Mass Effect, I'd recommend Mass Effect: Revelation as well. It's a prequel novel to...well.... Mass Effect. There's also Mass Effect: Ascension, a sequel to Mass Effect, and Mass Effect: Retribution, a sequel to Mass Effect 2.

See, now if they were going to make a BioShock movie it should have been like this book.

Rapture was one of, if not the, most immersive and impressive online environments I've encountered.
Will be getting this book without hesitation.

That was really good.
This is something they could make a movie or TV mini-series out of. A movie might not be long enough. Seems like it needs to be seen. The visuals were always important for BioShock.

Kinda cliched, but you gotta know that's going to be the case going into it. Plus, it was cliched in a successful way. I'll read it after I finished A Dance With Dragons. (FINALLY!)
