Before she was the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter, she was a survivor.

Experience the thrilling origin story of Samus Aran in this action-packed science fiction adventure!

When a ruthless Space Pirate raid led by the terrifying dragon Ridley decimates the mining colony of K-2L, young Samus is left as the sole survivor. Rescued and taken to the rugged, hostile planet of Zebes by the enigmatic avian race known as the Chozo, she is raised to become the ultimate protector of the galaxy.

Undergoing radical genetic modification to survive her new environment, Samus is gifted with a legendary, custom-fitted Power Suit. She trains under the watchful eyes of Chozo elders Old Bird and Gray Voice, as well as the planet's brilliant organic supercomputer, Mother Brain.

But galactic peace is fragile. When the Space Pirates return to launch a massive invasion of Zebes with advanced weaponry, and Mother Brain reveals a dark, tyrannical agenda, Samus must confront her deepest traumas. Joining forces with the Galactic Federation Police, she plunges into the subterranean depths of Brinstar, Norfair, and Tourian to fight for the survival of her adoptive home and the fate of the universe.

Why readers will love this deep dive into Samus’s history:

AI voice obviously not great but amazing story

Great story, included in Plus catalog. Awesome because used to play n64 Supersmash bro’s and this gave character background.

Nice to hear the origin of gamings most underrated character.

As a fan the series I’m glad we have access to the manga for the series.

the narration

this book could have really used a real person narrating it but the AI voice did a decent job at it

AI virtual voice

The AI virtual voice is just awful. It could have been much better. 15 word minimum is awful too.

AI

inflection nonexistent, multiple mispronounced words. the only thing enjoyable was the nostalgia of the story. I would never pay for an AI narrated story and take away a paying job from much more entertaining narrators.
