With a toothbrush? Seriously? 

Yet when he was first in the cell:

Other than the light, the bucket that had been placed in the cornor, and the narrow bed, there was no furniture in the room.  Nothing that could be transformed into a weapon, used as a pick, or otherwise turned against his captors.

It still cracks me up, for some reason, that it took countless hours to sharpen it too. (don't know why)

Aside from the Von/Zon name mx-up, he does also call Kahlee Gillian once. (not sure if anyone had caught that one)

He had more then one problem with names. There were also Biotic alliance, Ocasta Lem x Ocosta Lem or Rashna vas Kathar x Rashna vas Kather . He ignored more then ME lore, it looks that he even ignored his own lore.

It's the oddest thing: the book suffers from a severe lack of description for much of it (most chapters are "X walked to place. And did something. Something that was..."), but when Dietz does try to describe Omega and the Citadel it usually veers wildly off into implausibility. 

Turian rickshaws, Omega rocky hills, overwrought metaphors like the Citadel as a jewel - that kind of thing.

So it's sort of how this guy did his last big trilogy.

As if it weren't obvious, I'm beginning to wonder whether this was proofread at all.

When Kahlee is checking her mail:

Then, before Gillian could go any further, the words security alert, popped up on the screen followed by, “Your account has been accessed by an unauthorized person or device. For a list of potentially compromised files click here.” As the list opened Kahlee was...

Yes, it is. That guy was able to make about twenty mistakes only in names of his owns characters. This is obvious proof how little he care about this book.

I better keep this book away from my mom. She majored in english, and if you think we're nitpicking, she would rip this book apart for the writing mistakes alone.

Oh goddamn that's just pathetic. He makes the mistake and then uses the proper name later in the paragraph? Ridiculous.

Wow, Penny Arcade is taking notice now!

It's not like the author got confused between the two female characters or anything.

From what we´ve discussed so far, Deception is more like the ME version of the SW Holiday Special. Which is not part of the SW continuity, which is what we are hoping to achieve here.

Good point. So why don't they follow Lucas' example and drop Deception already? God the wait is killing me!

Yeah, because there are so many named female characters in Dietzland.

Yeah, that's it.
