He felt linear but the novel gave him a greater depth – there was an obvious method to his method, and despite knowing how everything would turn out in the end, I found myself routing for him to succeed. He’s a very interesting character to read about because he seemed so cold and calculating in the video game. You get to see what his life was like whilst he was forming the idea of Rapture, learning about his past and how he fled from his home country. The novel begins by introducing the main antagonist of the video game, Andrew Ryan, during a time where he was still living on land. It’s a very insightful read for fans of the game who have the patience to read through this hefty read – at nearly 500 pages, it’s the largest video game tie in novel that I own. First published in 2011, Bioshock: Rapture is the official prequel to the video game series Bioshock, taking place before the game and explaining the events that led up to Jack’s return to the sunken city.
