The year is 1912. Booker DeWitt, a debt-ridden former Pinkerton agent, receives one final chance to erase his past: Bring a girl out of a city in the sky. The mission sounds simple. It isn't. Floating high above the clouds, Columbia appears to be a shining utopia. Yet beneath its beauty lurk fanaticism, oppression, and secrets capable of tearing reality itself apart. The girl Booker has been sent to retrieve—Elizabeth—may be the key to powers beyond human comprehension. As the two struggle to escape a city that refuses to let them go, they are drawn into a mystery spanning multiple worlds, impossible timelines, and a truth neither of them is prepared to face. A faithful novelization of the award-winning science fiction story BioShock Infinite.
