Dirtaria
Commander Shepard was supposed to be a myth. A tragic hero who gave everything to stop the Reapers six hundred years ago, leaving behind a saved galaxy and a heavily classified genetic contingency file. But a bureaucratic database glitch deep within a forgotten Systems Alliance bunker changed everything. Awakened centuries too late into a fractured, futuristic "Wild West" Milky Way, a young man finds himself bearing the face, the DNA, and the crushing expectations of a legend he never knew. He isn't a soldier. He didn't fight Reapers. He's just a glitch in the system. But when an elder Liara T'Soni intercepts a fragmented quantum distress ping from the dark voids of space, the original Normandy crew is pulled out of cryostasis for one final, highly illegal rescue mission. Accompanied by his father's oldest friends and legendary squadmates, a son must navigate a lawless galaxy to chase a cold trail. Because Commander Shepard didn't die on the Citadel. He's out there, waiting to be found-and he has no idea the future is waiting for him.
