The Mass Effect: Andromeda book series consists of a trilogy of science fiction novels based on the Mass Effect series of video games.[1] The books in the series are Nexus Uprising (2017), Initiation (2017), and Annihilation (2018). All three books are released in paperback, e-book, and audiobook. The audiobook formats of Nexus Uprising and Initiation are narrated by Fryda Wolff, the voice of Sara Ryder,[2][3] while the Annihilation audiobook is narrated by Tom Taylorson, the voice of Scott Ryder.[4]

The books serve as tie-in prequel and sequel stories to the video game Mass Effect: Andromeda by BioWare.[5] All three novels in the series received generally favorable reviews, with many reviewers regarding the series to be superior to the game in terms of characterization and writing. Initiation and Annihilation in particular had a very positive reception, with some critics praising the involvement of their respective authors, N. K. Jemisin and Catherynne M. Valente, who are notable novelists in their own right.
