Dead Space: Martyr by B.K. Evenson

2.0

As a fan of the Dead Space games, (even though I haven't completed played a single one of the three to the end because I flip out over the energizer bunny of Necromorphs, AKA the Regenerator), I picked up this book because I wanted to know more. And this book deals with Altman the man who started the Unitology religion and I was also hoping to learn how the Necromorphs came to be because the game never shows us how they popped up, only that the shit has already hit the fan. While the books answers those questions to an extent (it doesn't tell us how the shit hits the fan at the beginning of each game), I didn't really care for the books because the writing of B.K. Evenson is so dull and lifeless and I won't be reading the other Dead Space book as it's not worth my time. I'll just hope for another author to take a stab at writing about this world, or hoping for a good movie because they would make excellent sci-fi horror movies.
