So Kai Leng killed an Autistic 15 year old with a shank, yeah that's the a real badass right there.

Actually, she used a machine to turn herself into an 18 year old, and got over her autism.  She also knew how to use Reave even though she's not an Asari.

Meaning after they plant trees in the memory of the dead, they watch the sunset and discuss how nothing they did matter. YEAH!

Gotta love the sequel hook there with a character Dietz introduced.

No wait! Suddenly she's an 18 year old who grew out of Autism! She's also a Power Level Three Biotic! She's unlocked all the moves!



I'm just in awe of this whole thing. Especially now after seeing the spoilers.

I also managed to dig Kahlee's little memorial service out of Google:

“There,” she said, as she stood. “They were troubled people, but each was trying to do something good, even if they went about it in self- destructive ways. I’ll miss them.”

Anderson nodded. “Well said. Come on . . . It’s a two- mile walk back to the hotel.”

Seriously? This is a joke.

SPOILER CITY

Once Anderson
was done Kahlee placed each sapling, covered
its roots with rich black soil, and watered them in.
“There,” she said, as she stood. “They were troubled
people, but each was trying to do something good,
even if they went about it in self- destructive ways. I’ll
miss them.”
Anderson nodded. “Well said. Come on . . . It’s a
two- mile walk back to the hotel.”

Exactly, but Dietz changed her to 18 and not autistic and thought no one would notice.

And "charge" all around the room without a weapon.

It's funny, at first I really wanted to read this book, to see what happened to some of the characters I had come to enjoy during the first 3 books.

Then I started reading this thread, and decided I did not want to read it anymore.

But then, something happened. After reading some of these quotes, it became SO ridiculous and over the top, that I am now back to wanting to read it, just for the lulz.

[NubXL]

I can't believe they just kill those three off like that. This book is worth little more than toilet paper. Waste of a tree.

Just got the book via Kindle app

Went to the acknowledgements page (at the end):

"First a salute to Drew Karpyshyn for the excellent novels that preceded this one and made Mass Effect: Deception possible.

Plus many thanks to Casey Hudson, Mac Walters, and Tricia Pasternak for their advice and guidance"

Not even gonna try to quote the above because this tablet hates me, but... what the everloving hanar tentacles? What is that writing? WHAT is that ending? How... why... ugh. Dietz. Bioware. Argh. Just... no. This is the point where I step away from the keyboard and... yeah, I'm out.

She's got a Power Level of three. She must've spent a lot of time training with those Quarian biotics <_<

To anyone who's read the other books he's still killing a Autistic 15 year old, a powerful 15 year old but still.

Kai Leng

[Ashira Shepard]

Every writer that takes pride in their work upon seeing this book.

On a seperate note, you know the 60s Spiderman meme? Where he says "I saw X and it gave me cancer."

Someone get on that regards this book.

SPOILER CITY: The Death of Hendel

“Mr. Mitra!” Nick exclaimed. “What are you doing here? You
killed Marisa!”

Fighting raged all around and Hendel was dimly
aware of a ground- shaking BOOM as he propped
himself up on his elbows. “Marisa? Was she your
girlfriend?”

“Yes, damn you . . . We were going to get married.”

“I’m sorry,” Hendel said. “But you brought this on
yourself. Remember what Kahlee and I taught you?
Those who use their biotic powers to hurt people will
pay. It’s just a matter of time.”

“You bastard,” Nick said through gritted teeth.
“You rotten bastard. First you kill Marisa and then
you have the balls to claim that it’s my fault. Goodbye,
Mr. Mitra. You can preach to the people in hell.”

“Where is Gillian,” Hendel demanded. “Is she
alive?”

He saw the spark, but didn’t live long enough to
hear the report, or feel the projectile smash into his
forehead. Nor did Hendel see one of T’Loak’s Level 3
adepts smash Nick to the ground. Their bodies lay
two meters apart.

Well BSN...I think I can finally pull myself away after LITERALLY sitting here ALL DAMN DAY just stareing at this thread...Keep up the glorious fight! make the world see we will not stand for this outrageous lack of quality!

Oh, you would not know that this character was suppose to be autistic from reading Deception, not unless you were familiar with the previous novels... Gillian acts AND thinks like a completely normal girl throughout this novel, the only explanation regarding her complete lack of autism in this book is that she had "anger issues" as a 12 year old and that she "grew out of it". <_<

Now I'm curious as to what is "The Cube"- is it like gamestop, but in the future?

It's some kind of arena where biotics fight each other to level up.

EDIT: Was .

Did you seriously just say "level up"? Tell me that was just for lack of a better word.

Nope. Nick's trying to qualify, so he can become a level 3 biotic. he's only a level 2 when the book starts.

Nick was an Level 2 and
had been working out at The Cube in hopes of qualifying
as an Level 3.
The gym, if that was the right word, was located on
a dimly lit commercial thoroughfare and identifi ed
with a glowing sign.

Eventually, he might evolve into a Kadabra

No....it's not...

[bleetman]

I know that's not what it meant, but I have to wonder if T'loak's adepts dinged to level four. Nick probably gave a ton of XP.

What the...that's...the most useless, unfeeling, poorly-written death scene I've ever had the misfortune in reading. The dialogue is so akward in and of itself to make me squirm in my seat, barring any of the other crap surrounding it.
