GodisaGeek Book Club Volume 1: BioShock Rapture

Over the past year or so we’ve seen a rapid increase in the number of video game related books. It’s a fantastic way to continue the story and hang-on to that universe after completing a game. In some cases, the books make are designed as a prequel, to get you involved in the plot before you even pick up a pad.

We’ve had plenty of fun reading these novels and wanted a way to share this with our community. Hence why we’re starting the GodisaGeek Book Club. Over the period of a month we’ll be reading a video game book with our community, via the forums. Each week we’ll read over select chapters and discuss them in the forums. By reading the same chapters together, we can openly discuss the plot without worrying about spoilers.

The first GodisaGeek Book Club novel will be BioShock Rapture, by the acclaimed writer John Shirley. This book takes place before the games, so even if you haven’t played the games yet, you can get involved!

The book is split into three parts. This week we’ll be reading over Part 1, which consists of the first 5 chapters. Week commencing 15th we’ll read over Part 2 and w/c 22nd we’ll finish up with Part 3. Finally, w/c 29th we’ll round-up our thoughts on the book as a whole.

BioShock Rapture from 2k games was written by John Shirley and is available for purchase at £4.99 or $9.50 from Amazon.
