X-MEDIA WEDNESDAYS - RAPTURE, BY JOHN SHIRLEY

It's no secret that Bioshock is one of my favorite games in the past decade.  Everything about the world of Rapture and the way it was slowly fed to us over the course of the game reeled me in.  But those who have played Bioshock know that the game takes place after the fall of Rapture.  We're handed small glimpses of what happened in the form of small audio diaries of the people that founded the underwater city, the people that lived through the fall.  But a lot of us have always wanted to actually see what happened, witness the fall of Rapture ourselves.  And that's what this novel is about: the rise and fall of Rapture, and that of Andrew Ryan.
