That hurt my soul to read.

Like, legitimately, I think I might have to lie down.

This is, unfortunately, a common malaise in gaming-series novels. There was the Gears Of War one that said the humans don't have any heavy industry left period and that all women were in breeding camps...

It inevitably makes the fan communities rage. I'm really not sure why companies continue to allow it.

I haven't read any of the tie-in books, but, damn, #10 made me stare.

So did #13.

And #14.

Okay, everything else involving Quarians, and don't get me wrong here, I'm not the biggest fan of Quarians, but ... holy crap.

And this is why I'm taking anything not found in the in-game Codex to be anything but effectively fanfics, just like TonyGs Eve books.

I was about to say, has TonyG been freelancing?  :psyccp:

Another case of science fiction vs. fictional science. :|

Yeah, I understand Ghost apathy toward all of this.  I mean, a lot of those PF mistakes the author makes in Mass effect are kinda nitpicky and easy to do.

Like confusing Sansha and Borg....

Original link did not load any text, and I'm not interested in opening javascript just for a site to load.   :P  That's just bad site coding.

I've been dealing with the subject (in Dr Who circles) for over two decades anyway.  Does not surprise me at all - in particular after the new DW TV series decided that the whole 'New Adventures' book series would be tossed out the window in the process.   :ugh:  </rant>
