I love how he managed to slip a "Level 3 adept" in there.

The lack of any decent dialog ruins any emotional impact the end scene, and Hendel's death scene, might have had. GODDAMN.

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.

So... did they both die? The dialogue is so awkward it's difficult to tell.

I guess Hendel is a minister or something?

Absolutely horrendous.  Just writing off long-standing characters like nothing.  This is worse than middle-school fanfic.

Book burning is back in style for this one.

It becomes much clearer when Aderson buries them on Eden Prime.

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.

It's only a better place because he isn't HERE anymore. Had he stayed, this book would have been awesome, or at least as good as the first 3.

Sounds to me like he was channeling the prophet guy. Makes sense too, Deception does seem to be a blight.

Gather as many copies as we can and destroy them...

The only way that would have been better is if the death scene had never occurred at all.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE.

NO ONE ****ING HAD TO DIE, DIETZ.

True that... this is a worse mis-interpretation of the content of Mass Effect since the fox news incident

Sorry, it really is not obvious. Nick is just knocked out.

SPOILER CITY: The death of Nick (serves him right, killing Hendel like that.. -.-)

“It’s Hendel,” he said. “And Nick.”
Kahlee uttered an involuntary gasp as she looked at what remained of Hendel’s face. He’d been shot at point- blank range. A pistol was laying not far from Nick’s out- flung hand, and Anderson was in the process of removing a second weapon from one of the boy’s holsters, as Kahlee dropped to one knee. She felt for a pulse. “I think he’s alive. Nick? Can you
hear me? It’s Kahlee Sanders.”
Anderson removed the canteen that was clipped to his belt and splashed some water onto the boy’s face.
Nick’s eyelids fluttered and popped open. He stared upward for a moment, as if reluctant to believe what he was seeing, and blinked. “Miss Sanders? I should have known that if Mr. Mitra was here you would be too.”
“How do you feel?”
“Bad . . . Real bad. But it doesn’t matter. Mr. Mitra killed Marisa.”
Kahlee remembered what Hendel had told her, about seeing Nick with a girl, and guessed the rest.
“So you shot him?”
“Yeah . . . I was angry.”
“I’m sorry to hear that Nick. Hendel was a fine man and he deserved better. Especially from a person he was trying to help.”
Nick looked like he might cry.
“Where’s Gillian? Was she involved in the fighting?”
Nick shook his head. “No. We have a prisoner. A Cerberus agent named Leng. Gillian took him away just before the attack. The Illusive Man is going to pay millions of credits to get him back.”
The mention of Leng and the Illusive Man triggered mental alarms for both Kahlee and Anderson.
Their eyes met momentarily before returning to Nick.
“Just before the attack?” Anderson demanded.
“Yes.”
“Nick, where did they go? Where is the hand over?”
“At the crematorium,” Nick said. “Miss Sanders
. . . My parents. Tell them . . .”
“Yes?”
Nick jerked spasmodically as a shot rang out. Both
Kahlee and Anderson looked up to see Immo standing
about a meter away with a pistol in his hand.

I'd rather play that than read Deception.

I'd rather eat a frozen dog turd than have to digest this piece of garbage!

NICK, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR FOR KILLING YOUR TEACHER. THAT IS A BAD THING TO DO.

"Any good drops?"
"Meh, just more Level 3 Hydra Armour"
"What is with the drop rate on that? Seriously"
