User blog comment:D.Ryan/Bioshock: Rapture Excerpt/@comment-1500935-20110624093154

I edited my blog on the novel, I found an excerpt of the prologue on Amazon.com. We also learn more about Ryan's past in Russia.

About the novel, I know the author had documented a lot on the series before writing it, and consulted Ken Levine too, and so in my humble opinion I think we should consider the book as canon to the games' story until we find something to prove the contrary.
