It's an accurate depiction of our collective reaction.

Kai Leng goes to Chora's Den and enjoys ogling an asari dancer. He. Winks. At. Her. This is the same guy who was disgusted by the sights to be found in Afterlife and thinks of asari as "whorish". And who dispassionately slit the throat of Grayson's asari lover, without so much as a glimmer of interest in her nakedness, which was supposedly quite nice to look at even by asari standards.

Consistent characterization? What's that?

Seriously, not even in this book is Kai Leng consistent between chapters.

So guise, just read the preview. I, like everyone else, cannot wait for this next installment in the ME saga.

Wasn't there a mention in ME2 that Chora's den was shutdown? IIRC Miranda says that in the "talk to squadmate" dialogue in the Dark Star.

But we've never had TIM say that he found them disgusting, or even unnattractive. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't a prostitute, TIM only sleeps with powerful or influential women.

Okay, this thread is just great. Kai Leng sneaking into Anderson's apartment to steal his cereal is amazing.

Please, keep 'em coming didy, I just can't stop laughing between all of Drew's carefully crafted characters and mythos being biotically "shoved" (subset, "throw") aside!


The fact that it's too late for them to add a reference to Kai Leng stealing cereal into ME3 makes me very sad indeed.


Dude, it would be so awesome to hear Sheen scolding him for it:

 "Leng. You're making a habit of costing me more than time and money. The cereal from that apartment could have secured human dominance in the galaxy. Against the Reapers and beyond."

You've got to respect him for not being as xenophobic as one would expect.

Retribution (and to a lesser extent, Redemption) makes it clear that TIM doesn't share the same fanatical attitudes as some of his followers. He's happy to exploit their racism to his ends, but it's just a tool to him. He even wonders if he relies too much on those sorts of personalities.

And then we'll clean up after ourselves.

Because it's our house.

Oh, and you gotta love Kai Leng drinking while on the clock. Especially when he's already worried about his leg being an issue. Booze'll fix it! Also, it should be both legs, but whatever.

Wow, I haven't read any of the previews and just been skimming though this threat.
Now I am both, sad and amused.
The thing was, I was really looking forward to this book. thoroughly enjoyed the other three, not because I think they are great peaces of literature or anything but because they gave me exactly what I wanted: A readable Mass Effect experience. I think this was done exceptionally well in the books and I hoped I could get another one like this to hype me up for ME3.
Now it looks like I am just going to read it for the amusement which is fine on it's own but I am still going to miss a good ME book.
Well, I guess all good things...

Lol I forget, how did he even get away in the first place in Redemption?  I remember the guards closing in on him while he crawled to a ceiling duct or something like that

In Retribution (Redemption is Liara's comic) Kai Leng used a dying Nick to escape.  Anderson shot his legs, but wasn't able to chase him as he had to attend to Nick getting nearly ripped in half by Reaper!Grayson.  Leng crawled around a corner, then climbed up a side ladder to the ceiling, basically monkey barring his way to the shuttle bay.  By the time anyone was able to search for him, he was well out of their reach.

...And after all that badassery built up for him in Retribution, he goes off and steals Anderson's breakfast cereal.  Oh, it's personal now!
