Retribution is set in the universe fans know well from the video game and novel series—one in which humanity has explored the very farthest reaches of the universe, only to discover the ruthless Reapers, a race bent on extinguishing all organic life. One man is bent on discovering the Reapers' secrets, the mysterious Illusive Man, the leader of a pro-human, black ops group, Cerberus. And he's devised the perfect plan: implant a human subject with Reaper technology in order to study the enemy.


He also has the perfect test subject—Paul Grayson, an ex-Cerberus operative. Grayson betrayed Cerberus in order to save his daughter. So when Grayson is kidnapped and made the subject of Cerberus' evil experiments, the Illusive Man will finally have his revenge...

Humanity has reached the stars, joining the vast galactic community of alien species. But beyond the fringes of explored space lurk the Reapers, a race of sentient starships bent on “harvesting” the galaxy’s organic species for their own dark purpose.

The Illusive Man, leader of the pro-human black ops group Cerberus, is one of the few who know the truth about the Reapers. To ensure humanity’s survival, he launches a desperate plan to uncover the enemy’s strengths—and weaknesses—by studying someone implanted with modified Reaper technology. He knows the perfect subject for his horrific experiments: former Cerberus operative Paul Grayson, who wrested his daughter from the cabal’s control with the help of Ascension project director Kahlee Sanders.

But when Kahlee learns that Grayson is missing, she turns to the only person she can trust: Alliance war hero Captain David Anderson. Together they set out to find the secret Cerberus facility where Grayson is being held. But they aren’t the only ones after him. And time is running out.

As the experiments continue, the sinister Reaper technology twists Grayson’s mind. The insidious whispers grow ever stronger in his head, threatening to take over his very identity and unleash the Reapers on an unsuspecting galaxy.

Aber gut das hat Drew Karpyshyn bei Darth Bane - Regel der Zwei auch am Ende geschafft -.-

war eine interessante geschichte, die nun die story um graysons charakter beendet hat. schade, hatte doch irgendwie im laufe des buches noch gehofft, der käme irgendwie im 3. spiel dann vielleicht vor. so sicher nicht mehr.

dafür schätze ich aber mal, dass anderson und sanders beide im spiel vorkommen werden, da sich beide ja jetzt auch mit der reapertechnologie noch näher auseinandersetzen werden. zumindestdens bei anderson bin ich mir sicher, schön wär halt dass sie auch eingebaut wird.

leider hat man von den reapern praktisch gar nix neues erfahren. gut, man weiß jetzt halt wie sich die wirte der hybriden gefühlt haben, aber ansonsten hört man am ende im gespräch zwischen grayson und sanders auch nichts neues. das gleiche bla bla wie schon im ersten spiel bzw. in der fortsetzung. naja, muss halt alles in teil drei aufgeklärt werden.

alles in allem aber ein nettes buch. auch aria wird man sicher nicht zum letzten mal gesehen habe.
