Luckily, these initial concerns later turned out to be largely unfounded.Īlthough the exact time and place is kept purposely vague, Dead Space: Martyr is set a couple of hundred years from now, in and around the Chicxulub crater in Mexico.

The acknowledgements at the back of the book had Evenson referring to the Dead Space franchise as “the best bit of first-person SF/horror dismemberment out there.” Fans of the games will know that the core games are actually third-person shooters ( Dead Space: Extraction on Wii and PS3 is the only first-person instalment), which made me worry that the author wasn’t actually all that familiar with the franchise. I must admit that I was somewhat wary when I first approached Dead Space: Martyr.
