But after she witnesses Doomfist's catastrophic attack on the city's OR15 security bots, Efi feels the call to build something greater: a true guardian of Numbani.While Doomfist sows discord between humans and omnics, Efi engineers an intelligent and compassionate robot, Orisa, named after the powerful spirits who guide her people. Orisa has a lot to learn before she's ready to defeat Doomfist, but Efi has some learning to do, too, especially when it comes to building -- and being -- a hero. With Doomfist rallying his forces, and the military powerless to stop him, can Efi mold Orisa into the hero of Numbani before it's too late?This action-packed novel features the fan-favorite characters Efi, Orisa, Doomfist, and Lúcio in an all-new, original story straight from the minds of the Overwatch game team and critically acclaimed author Nicky Drayden!
Customer Reviews
Overwatch and Orisa forever!
I play Overwatch 2 and main Orisa, but I also just love her personality. When I found this existed, I read as many samples as I could until my family got me the book. This is absolutely amazing, including hints to the games such as ultimate quotes, and just contains everything I hoped for! Efi and Orisa’s personalities make me smile, and the drama mixed with humor is spot on!
I enjoyed it.
It kind of feels like a fanfic in some places, but overall it was really enjoyable and expanded on a couple characters that have, until now, not really had much lore like Lucio and Efi. Also, Orisa’s dialogue and character progression was just simply well done throughout the entire thing.
Great book
The story is amazing and really expands on the beauty of the overwatch universe
