Loved Cyberpunk and am looking forward to reading this even if I don't win a copy. Edgerunners was fantastic. As for video game novels, I read the first book in the Dead Space series and enjoyed it. I would love to see a story come out of Hollow Knight.

I’ve got to get back into this game. I got it for $10 a month or so after launch. So glad they’ve stuck with it.

Only video game novel I’ve ever read is the first Halo book. I had a set of the first three paperbacks. Need to get back into them.

Those first 3 Halo books are rad. If you’ve played the game, you can skip The Flood. It’s a retelling of the first game and doesn’t add much. Nylund made Master Chief the murder machine that would become canon. Great stuff!

Isn’t one of them Fall of Reach? I LOVED that game, I go back and forth between it and 3 as my favorite of the series.

Yes the first one he did was Fall of Reach and it gives a lot of flashbacks to when the Spartans were kidnapped as kids by Halsey. It’s so good!! Reach is hands down my favorite game. Halo 3 is a close 2nd.

The only video game novels that I read was a Halo trilogy that came out around the time of Halo 3. I remember being 13 or so and spending summer vacation engrossed in them. Loved the way the author(s) built and filled out the Halo universe, told Master Chief's backstop, etc.

Halo books are incredible imo. Especially those early ones. At this point if they dropped the games and just kept writing books I would be happy!

Edgerunners is great! Packs a punch at the end.

and no! I never have but that sounds awesome. I'm data mining a bit here because there are oddities I haven't stumbled upon.

Thanks bb!
