I think i should review this from two different perspectives: those who have play the game and those who are just seeking to read a futuristic scifi book. Let's start with the ones who like the game:
For those looking to read a story about commander Shepard, let me tell you that he does not appear in this book. This is a story about Anderson (who appear in the Mass Effect games as a general or something like that, i forget his rank). The events on the story are happening years before Shepard defeats the geth's and Saren in the first Mass Effect game. It is not about the Contact War, events occur some years after that, although it mention some things about it that clarifies how it happens. The story is full of action and some drama. Lt. Anderson is investigating a mysterious attack on a Alliance secret research facility at Sidon, he was sent there by the Alliance ambassador in a solo mission -due to some sensitive research that humans are hiding from the Council-. He will not be totally alone in the investigation, because the Citadel Council has also send one of his Spectre's to investigate the blody attack on the facility.
There are some mayor twists in the story, and if your a gamer to happens to enjoy Mass Effect and just want to immerse yourself in a spin off story in the Mass Effect universe then you should enjoy this book.
Now my review for people just searching for a sci-fi book to enjoy:
This book is based on the scifi universe of the Xbox 360 and PC game Mass Effect, which is a action-RPG game. But you don't need to know almost nothing of the game to understand this book. The environment is similar to the Star Wars universe. The protagonist are humans if you are wondering about that. Although you may find some not so convincing explications that attempt to explain how humanity is almost everywhere in the galaxy in a few years (for me was just too fast, even with the unlocking of some secrets of alien technology), the reader will be immersed in a futuristic world full of spaceships, futuristic weapons, faster than light travels, aliens communities, culture and politics, action and some ancient mysteries. If you enjoy those topics, which are mixed with a good -human heroic- story, then you should read it.

Mass Effect: Revelation Overview
Every advanced society in the galaxy relies on the technology of the Protheans, an ancient species that vanished fifty thousand years ago. After discovering a cache of Prothean technology on Mars in 2148, humanity is spreading to the stars; the newest interstellar species, struggling to carve out its place in the greater galactic community.
On the edge of colonized space, ship commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station; smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Who attacked this post and for what purpose? And where is Kahlee Sanders, the young scientist who mysteriously vanished from the base–hours before her colleagues were slaughtered?
Sanders is now the prime suspect, but finding her creates more problems for Anderson than it solves. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can’t trust and pursued by an assassin he can’t escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy . . . one he won’t live to tell about. Or so the enemy thinks.
