She just seems like a generic action girl by her intro. I don't know if he expands on her mental state later but I can see it being choppy if so.

"Gillian was a bit unhinged (like a weaker 'crazy') when she lay her eyes on the roly-poly volus in front of her.
'Can I help you, Earth person?' Asked Roly-Poly Ollie. Gillian grunted and threw a singularity at the volus' head. It was strong.
'I will get that Illusive Man if it's the last thing I do!' Gillian screamed and continued to walk along the Presidium."

It's Earth-CLAN for crying out loud, Stupid Roly-Poly Ollie.

No. This is in the book, too?

Did he really put "(like a weaker 'crazy')" in there? In parentheses, no less?

And roly poly Ollie? No...lol...BS! I call BS. This cannot be real.

Is anyone else hoping that another preview will surface? While cereal-eating Kai Leng is still freaking hilarious we could definitely use some new fuel for our fires.

Well the entire book isn't too far off now...

No, those are just parodies that are, sadly, pretty accurate to Dietz's style.

And now from all time our long suspended article returned in form of galley proof from local journal. Oh sweet irony of proofreading with double checking of all terms.

One day earlier and I would probably be too busy laughing at coincidence.

[TheCreeper]

I'm actually tempted to buy this just so I can mock it chapter by chapter on other sites.

Nick seems to have a sex dream at some point. Seems like that conclusively explains why his age was changed.

lol. okay. I thought it was too funny to be real. However, it is sad that it's in Dietz's style.

What else did he write? Are his other books any good?

[Eski.Moe]

Haha, yeah. I made that bit with Gillian up. It's a bit worrying that it's getting hard to tell the difference between the actual story and parody.
Check out Jeff's piece of work though. It's on page twenty something. You won't regret it.

@izmir: As you know, that totally makes the story mature and stuff!

Seriously i read the book in a Ultimate Warrior voice and it's completely awesomely funny.. and makes just about as much sense.

[izmirtheastarach]

Nick was in a faraway place making love to Mythra Zon, when the door to his room flew open and banged against the dingy wall.

From the google books chapters previews, it's pretty clear that Kahlee and Anderson have nothing to do with the story. This whole book is about Nick and Gillian. It's like a young adult novel.

hahahahahahahaha

Now that I've collected myself. Um, he certainly has a way with words. It was probably a level 4 Biotic that did that to his door!

The cereal thing is a joke or is it really in the book?

[What a Succulent Ass]

Not a joke.

[What a Succulent Ass]

Page twenty-one to be precise.

[The Love Runner]

Kai Leng Cereal One-Liners:

"As you know, they're after me Krogan Charms!"

"As you know, I'm cuckoo for Krogan Puffs!"

"As you know, they're magically delicious!"

"As you know, they're grrreat!"

"As you know, Space Trix are for humans!"

Feel free to add more. Lol.

It is a serious scene meant to establish what a badass Kai Leng is. By eating Anderson's cereal because it's his house now.

[Eski.Moe]

Feels strangely appropriate given Kai Leng's nationality, specialty and penchant for cereal.

MASS EFFECT: REPULSION
Jeff O'Connor

As you know, Admiral Anderson once held the rank of Spectre for almost twenty years. While he admired the asari gracefully gliding on their mass effect fields in the middle of the President, the most luxurious hotel in the pineapple-shaped Citadel, the immaculate Kahlee Vega smiled.

"As you know, I'm beautiful," Vega commented as she Force Pushed the argumentative Nick with her Level 9001 biotics. It was then that the scientist discovered the existence of the Reapers via telepathy.

Leng came racing around a corner, air-dropped by The Illusive Man himself. Although his legs were in tremendous pain, he managed to backflip off of the Citadel Spire, tallest building in the pear-shaped embassy and home to the Proconsul. "As you know, I'm related to Altair."

"As you know, Gillian is 47," chimed in Anderson (David).

LMAO..oh, Jeff. U So Crazy (like a stronger 'unhinged').

Young adult novel? I suddenly felt very old in my 21.

And since Google Books keep telling me "no preview available", who is Mythra Zon? Sounds like asari to me.

[rapscallioness]

I support Kai Leng eating cereal for ME3. BW, make it happen!

[Eski.Moe]

Mythra Zon is a female roly-poly. It sounds similar to Barla Von, doesn't it!?

[What a Succulent Ass]

"Mythra Zon" sounds more volus to me, actually.

This would increase the quality of the story. Really.

I would love it if they included it as a reference like they did for the media outrage over ME1's sex scene in Bring Down the Sky. Good times.

[izmirtheastarach]

"My name is Mythra Zon." Gillian could sense the power of the other woman's personality and was eveloped by the heady perfume she wore as they exchanged asari-style air kisses.

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. ASARI-STYLE AIR KISSES.

This book is going to kill me.
