Combining the immense scope of Mass Effect with the grittier, grounded, hard sci-fi feel of Alien is like a dream come true. Not since Lem's "Solaris" has the idea of a planet-sized intelligence so intrigued me. What an absolutely uncanny, unfathomable universe we live in, where creative minds like Evan Graham's can conjure stories from the dark unknown spaces between stars... I can't wait to see where his story leads. I don't consider myself the most-avid among avid sci-fi readers, but the mystery of "Tantalus Depths" has caught all my attention. It's worth yours too.
