For fans of Dead Space I really enjoyed this novel. I thoroughly loved the video games and their universe. Interesting to see the cause behind the Church of Unitology.

This book was freaking brilliant when it comes to introducing us to Altman. From the games we are only presented with the fact that he is the founder of a religious movement, called unitology and that he died misteriously.
These informations will make you assume that he is evil or, as the rest of the believers, completely ignorant about the Marker and its intentions and effects. Well, this book may change your view on him.
Since the beginning of the book we follow Altman and the events that led to his involvement with the Marker and how he became 'the founder' of this so called religion. These events are not easily predictable and you will be surprised at how the first Marker, the black one, was discovered and delt with.
Nothing in this book is random, everything makes sense and everything will tie together in the end, which was one of the reasons that made me like it so damn much. I must confess though that in the beginning it was a little slow for me, mostly because I like it better when the main events of a book start right away, but with this book there needed to be a slow start so that you could get to know Altman as a human being and relate to him or at least connect in a way that you could almost experience his journey as your own.
There is no need to say that I became a 'fan' of Altman and that this makes me want to go back to the Dead Space games and yell at Isaac to not believe everything that he his told, but part of me knows that Isaac already knows that.

اولش خیلی لوس بود یک روند خنک و نچسب و اینا
بعد دیگه تو ۱۰۰ صفحه اخر نمیشد ول کرد کتابو 😂

A little ham-fisted and tries poorly at some humour.
But an otherwise decent prequel, lore-wise, to the Dead Space series.

It keep a good level of excitement throughout, and Altman seems to be a reasonably likeable protagonist. The story does provide some background to the DeadSpace lore and it offers some truly gruesome moments. Definitely recommend this read for anyone looking to play the game or enjoy light dramatic horror.

Fun and quick read. It’s fast paced so it keeps you wanting to read. If you enjoyed the games you’ll enjoy this book.
