Mass Effect: The Madman's Game

Mass Effect: The Madman's Game is an upcoming fanfiction novel written by the Hunter Killer. It is the second book in the series Mass Effect: Betrayal. It will pick up several months after Mass Effect: To the Last Man, as Gerard Keller continues his search for Jonathan Allen, the traitor.

Synopsis
"Welcome to the madhouse, home of the ever-popular and deadly 'Nightmare Games', hosted by yours truly!"

- Jonathan Allen upon the capture of the SSV Troy crew.

The story begins with Gerard returning from one of his missions several months after the Battle of the Citadel. After being tipped off about Allen's possible location, Gerard finds a slaughterhouse containing a clue, left by Allen himself, about his next location.

Upon his arrival at Allen's second location, Omega Squad becomes trapped in Allen's 'madhouse'. Soon, the rest of the crew of the SSV Troy is captured and forced into the murderer's sick game. Having complete control over the dozens of death traps within the building, Allen tortured the crew and Omega Squad and pit each of them against each other. This leads to the deaths of almost every member of the crew, either by one of their now-insane crew members or by Omega Squad, who were forced to kill them in defense.

Author's Notes

 * This book is planned to be my most disturbing novel yet. With Allen's sanity nonexistent, there is nothing he won't do. Horrific deaths, gruesome sights, and bloodied battlefields are nothing to him. Allen will lead Gerard and his crew into a trap, which he treats as his favorite game. What makes Allen even happier is that none of the crew of the SSV Troy were killed by him, but by either their crazy ship mates or by Omega Squad to protect themselves.
