Tor Books just posted the first chapter of Bioshock: Rapture, a look at Andrew Ryan's creation of the famed underwater city.

The book is written by John Shirley, known as co-screenwriter of The Crow, writer of a collection of stories called Black Butterflies, and a lyricist for Blue Oyster Cult (seriously).

The excerpt tells the tale of Bill McDonagh, a down on his luck British plumber in '40s New York who fixes Andrew Ryan's toilet.

Bioshock: Rapture will be released July 19 so give this a read if you think you might be interested.
