An official tie-in to the hit video game Mass Effect: Andromeda. As the
Quarian ark Keelah Si'yah sails toward the Andromeda galaxy, it carries
20,000 colonists from several races including the Drell, Elcor, and Batarians.
Along the way a routine check reveals that many of the Drell colonists have died
in their cryopods, and a pathogen is discovered. It begins to jump species, then
the ship's tech begins to fail, making it clear that this is no accident.
It's murder, and the perpetrator is still on board. The ship's systems rapidly
degrade, and panic spreads among the colonists. To make matters worse, the virus
yields a terrible swelling of the brain that causes madness, hallucinations, and
leads to violence. If the ship's crew can't restore their technology and find a
cure, the Keelah Si'yah will never make it to the Nexus.
