Free Radical does deviate from the canon ending, but not in the way you're describing: Having gained the ability to understand what she'd inflicted on the people under her care, SHODAN accepted her death abord Citadel Station as just penance for what she'd done.I mean, SHODAN was hacked to give her empathy, then she repented and came to Earth? Really? I was watching a Let's Play as I read.Also, afterwards I contracted a fever and dreamed I was a rogue cyborg on Citadel Station leading a resistance. One of the lines is '"Are you ok hacker" she asked.' It also deviated pretty far from the game's ending. Grammatical errors got worse as the story progressed. There are some occasional poor word choices and grammar quirks, but it's a compelling enough narrative to make up for it. Joysweeper: I knew a little and ended up Youtube-ing the game so I could get SHODAN's voice fixed in my head.Knowing that, and judging it purely as a standalone science fiction novel, I found it a fantastic read. Comments: I came to Free Radical from a perspective of literally zero knowledge of the video game.But when the hacker wakes up after six weeks comatose and recovering from brain surgery, he finds a dreadful mess: flickering lights, missing doctors, homicidal robots, mutant zombies, and a frantic radio signal from Earth trying to find out what is going on up there. Back cover blurb: When a black-hat hacker tries to break into TriOptimum's spaceborne computer system to steal a new computer-interfacing neural implant, he fails, but ends up being brought up onto the company's space station and offered the implant if he will do a little 'job' for the TriOptimum CEO.Recommended by Robin Zimm, Joysweeper, Electron Blue, Korodzik, Jonn, aaron-em.Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. General Fics Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast.
