Peter Parker is caught in a complicated web. Working in a cutting-edge laboratory, he's a young scientist who's trying to make a difference. Yet he's constantly burdened by the responsibilities of his second career as the crime-fighting Spider-Man.

Wilson Fisk - the so-called Kingpin of Crime - has returned to New York, establishing himself publicly as an altruistic entrepreneur and philanthropist. Spider-Man knows better, but he can't uncover Fisk's scheme, which, if executed, will make the crime lord too big to fail.

When a new threat - a deadly doppelganger with Spider-Man's suit and abilities - wreaks havoc in the streets, can the real wall-crawler prove his innocence? With the clock ticking and lives on the line, can Spider-Man stop the brutal rampage of the Blood Spider? Will Spider-Man fall to his fears and foes, or will he rise and be greater?

Nice little Prequel to the game, decent story and well read. Did not expect this to be as good as it was.

Great Prequel

I loved this. I’m a huge spidey fan, and I thought the narrator did a great job as Pete. The author did a good job capturing Peter’s quippy personality too, and made me laugh several times.
I played the game back when it came out, and am replaying it now after listening to this prequel book, in anticipation of the new game coming out soon.

awesome

As a prequel to the 2019 video game, this Spider-Man story ties in perfectly without any previous knowledge required to enjoy it completely.

The pacing is great, and so is the character development - having the narrative from the perspective of multiple characters was a great way to break it up and at no point did the story feel flat.

Overall, really enjoyed it.

Fun, action-packed and a light read

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I had played the game beforehand and still found the book really interesting. You get to know what Peter Parker was doing before the game and how it leads to the game’s opening.

I would definitely recommend to anyone who has played the game or is thinking about playing it.

A good prequel to the game
