Well, first thing I thought when I read the blurb on Amazon was "Well, why wasn't that DLC?". My guess is that with the kerfuffle over ME:A being less than it could be, what the fans expected, or what BioWare was capable of, it got tabled.
I think it was intended to be DLC, or at least in part. If I recall correctly, the book was planned but then postponed when the DLC was cancelled, I assume to include its scrapped story.
The DLC was likely deemed not profitable enough due to the game's disappointing sales, so EA merged BioWare Montreal with Motive and had them make Star Wars Battlefront II DLC instead.
