Here's a fun continuity error for the list, if someone would like to add it.:

During his most recent mission to Omega Leng had broken into Grayson’s apartment and murdered Liselle T’Loak.

NO ONE ON OMEGA KNEW THAT LISELLE WAS ARIA'S DAUGHTER. In fact, Kai Leng likely didn't even know her first name.

Goes right along with that one about Aria having hundreds of relatives.

Guys, really. You're all being way too silly about this easily explainable stuff.

The Idenna's navigation went down during their voyage, causing it to slip into a black hole. Lost in the darkness, a wizard with level 10 biotics happened upon them in his search through time for a KFC, and removed her autism and hendels attraction to men.

After coming out of the blackhole, they had aged dramatically.

I thought if you went into a black hole? You would age less than those outside of the black hole?

The whole time moves slower the closer you get etc.

I feel like an idiot now. It was so obvious!

Not with Mass Effect Fields.

Wow. Slavic DNA, eh? Sounds exciting.

Also, that doesn't really feel like the right use of the word harkened. [/quote]

Wouldn't the correct word be 'Harked'?

Since both mean to listen, I don't think so.

He had black hair and brown eyes that harkened back to his Chinese ancestry. But the shape of his face and the color of his skin hinted at what might have been some Slavic DNA as well.

It actually is the proper use, Dietz's writing just starts messing with your head. And how do facial features and coloration hint at DNA? Seriously, that's a ****ty way to phrase that. "Slavic ancestry" is a far better phrase to use.

You can't expect Dietz to know how blackholes work, can you?

At least he got everything else right.

I thought Harked was used to reference a point in the past?

Harkened was only used to refer to listening.

Goddammit - that was one of those major plot points in Retribution.

Looking at it, it does make slightly more sense. Anyways, dictionaries are fun.

[Yuoaman]

Whatever the case, it was clumsily written.

All of it was clumsily written. The book implies a lot of errors it never actually makes is one of the largest problems. Wordings are vague and underdeveloped at the best of times.

The timeline errors should also be added.

[Yuoaman]

We're up to 47 entries, rad stuff.

Having compared Shella’s description of the man who slit Liselle’s throat with actual surveillance footage of the assassin who killed Grayson

Apparently Aria has footage from Grissom. This despite the fact that Dietz does not explain where she got it, how she got it, or how she even knew that Grayson was killed there.

SPOILER*

Was Grayson's indoctrination by the Reapers shortly before his death referenced in the novel?

It is the plot of that novel. The illusive Man pumps him full of Reaper tech, and eventually he's just a vessel.

Retroactive spoilers?

I actually would say its premature to mention timeline issues. But whatever.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Helloman (if for a slightly different reason).  Gillian and Nick's ages are already mentioned in the first ten entries, and the "two years" good could be consolidated into the "Citadel Trap" entry. 

It is not difficult to find tons of errors in this book; no need to fudge our numbers by putting down an error two or three times.

I doubt Aria has contacts at the Academy - it's most definitely an Alliance institution, and I'm sure after the first run in with Cerberus they're all about background checks. So this is just bull****.

Nick wonders at one point if his light armor was a mistake. This because he sees a girl his age wearing medium armor. I'm really close to drowning myself here.

I think I've finally decided to forego the book and read the summary on the wiki. Really, they needed to have Mac or Drew read this, come on...
