Without wanting to be mean, 99% sure it's the latter. If you're just looking for a quick, exciting story with action and intrigue, the games themselves (or, God help us, a Let's Play) would probably provide more; if you're looking for anything deeper, it just won't be there. I wasted too many years reading Star Wars/Trek tie-ins, couldn't tell you a single memorable passage now.

There's only one (1) assassin's creed novel you need to read. And it's not even based on the game, the first game was based on the novel.

>Alamut is a novel by Vladimir Bartol, first published in 1938 in Slovenian, dealing with the story of Hassan-i Sabbah and the Hashshashin, and named after their Alamut fortress. This book was one of the inspirations for the video game series Assassin's Creed.

Those look like shit but then again the Halo novels were actually pretty tight, at least the ones by Nylund, it's all about who they find to pump out these books, sometimes they got lucky and the dude actually has some talent. Mostly they don't, nor do they care.
What you should check out though is the Assassin's Apprentice series.

No. You also shouldn't waste valuable reading time playing games made for children

[Anonymous No.18779368]

The point of these books is to make a bit of extra cash for the game publishers and to encourage children to try reading. The quality reflects this.

A writer uses a pseudonym when he's too embarrassed by the shit he's written.
And in this case I can't say I blame him.
