Summary
“Why do you fight?” came the question- phrased in many voices, high-pitched and inquisitive, deep and aristocratic, artificially synthesized, rough and mercenary.
“People are messy,” I said, into the emptiness. “Awkward. Sometimes selfish, and cruel. But they’re trying.” I swallowed. “And I’m going to make sure they have a chance.” I stood, alone in my quarters, head bowed under the weight slowly crushing down on me, the weight of a war I was slowly beginning to realize I would not survive.
“War will make corpses of us all.”The end approaches. As the Alliance uncovers an ancient creature in the depths of the dark, the noose tightens as the Reapers close in on one side, Cerberus in on the other. The Illusive Man- and Kai Leng- will only be able to run so long before they must face the consequences of their actions and be brought to bear for their crimes. Old crew and new face off with their inner demons as the commander crumbles beneath the weight of a war they are losing fast, and a new leader emerges, baseborn into her own destiny. The final battle approaches, and on the charred soil of Earth the fate of humanity-and the galaxy as a whole-will at last be decided, once and for all.
