Unfortunately, it's here that the Rapture novel starts to stumble, as few of the characters feel believably voiced thanks to the unusual focus that's put on to bringing their accents or linguistic idiosyncrasies to life. We want to know Andrew Ryan and his anti-cadre in their own words. ![]() After two BioShock games, we know enough about those who tore down Rapture, but we want to know more about those who built it up. It's therefore gratifying to see that Rapture, which is written by Bram Stoker Award-winning author John Shirley, explores the origin of Andrew Ryan's aquatic megalopolis. The BioShock universe, with its Randian politicising and cast of crooks and billionaires, is ripe with potential. It may seem like the release of Titan Books' BioShock novel is oddly timed, given how 2K Games is set to abandon Rapture entirely and take to a new setting next year with BioShock Infinite, but it's still an exciting prospect for the literary-minded.

"To repudiate his legacy," Chernow writes, "is, in many ways, to repudiate the modern world." Chernow here recounts Hamilton's turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington's aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. Chernow's biography gives Hamilton his due and sets the record straight, deftly illustrating that the political and economic greatness of today's America is the result of Hamilton's countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. ![]() According to historian Joseph Ellis, Alexander Hamilton is "a robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all."
