"Mass Effect: Initiation" Plot Synopsis

I'm worried that Cora and Alec will just completely overshadow Ryder. I can't imagine how Ryder could cement himself as a character if Alec hadn't died without them making Alec crazy or something.

Do you really need to ask? It's better to ask what is not shady about it.

No problem.  No, I was merely commenting on how the release date for the audio book for"Initiation" and its companion paperback appear to be releasing on separate dates - 11/06/2017 and 11/28/2017 respectively, with a highly anticipated "Lost Ark" book following either a month or week later.  Just seems that, although we will be getting these books at some point, their release appears to still be up in the air.

You can order MASS EFFECT INITIATION on Amazon now. Says it'll be available Nov 28 (although not sure that part is correct).

I will believe it when I see it...

Initiation's cover looks really gorgeous!

Does anyone recognize the planet Cora is in?

Edit: And also what the "scourge-looking" thing is?

I can see were you are coming from, but a potential lack of DLC makes me want the literature even more, oppositely.

Where do you see January? I still see November on Titans website.

The shadiest. Even more so than Cerberus it seems.

Still clinging to the hope that Jienn Garson and Alec Ryder are alive overseeing the Initiave in hiding, waiting for their would be assassins to reveal themselves.

I can't shake the awkard feeling that Alec's death delivered. No body, Cora and the doctor being all evasive when talking about how he died. And this last playthrough I started, I noticed when Scott/Sara is being transported to the Hyperion while having all those flashbacks the doctor clearly says "Come on, we are loosing THEM!" Sure, he could be talking about Ryder and SAM, but if Ryder died, Sam would still be intact in the Hyperion, so who is THEM? Did they transport Alec too and tried to revive him? Did they sneaked him away, as per his instructions and faked his death? Also, the same doctor just arrived on Andromeda and 1 mission in he is already retiring from the pathfnder team? Sounds fishy too. He could have stayed on the Hyperion to secretly oversee Alec's recovery.

If they wanted his death to be final they'd just give us a body and be done with it, instead they seem to have gone to some lengths to keep the whole thing a mistery. Alec's body, as bad shape as it might have been in, would still be recovered and given a proper burial with ceremony and stuff. After all he was 2nd in command in the Initiave. They wouldnt leave his body to rot.

And as we know, Jienn Garson's body had the face too burnt to be 100% recognazible.

Unfortunatly, now that the game has passed to Edmonton, I'm not sure how they will handle it. Maybe they will want to go in a different direction.
