Aside from the glaring errors, how is the book though? Did Diece put up an effort?

Quite inconsistent, it was just few ideas connected with a lot of empty scenes and talks.

Because Dietz simultaneously published book from his own series, it is quite visible that he didnť take too much care with Deception.

And aside from the few lore errors, he still told an interesting story. I
read Deception faster than I read Revelation, Ascension, or
Retribution.

lol what.

I read that, like three times before I actually read Mass Effect: Deception.

Most of it is nitpicky crap and closed mindedness.

I don't feel like going into every discrepancy, but you should get the point.

I wouldn't consider something like a batarian slave raid on Palaven (given the nature of the turians, that would only go one way), the quarians just giving Gillian a perfectly good ship they could have use themselves, which is using an experimental drive core that was in the prototype stage aboard the Normandy as a top secret Alliance project or a hologram of Grayson pleading for death as his body is being burrowed by large cables, despite the fact that he was injected with nano machines while he was asleep to be "nitpicky crap", since they're going against established lore.

It's also kind of funny how you're saying that people are petty for bringing up small contradicted details when you're bringing up rather insignificant examples yourself.

Not to mention, how did she get the locket from Paul? Physically impossible. Humans being allowed on the Batarian homeworld? Khar'shan is closed off. The only way you're getting there is if you're a slave. I'm aware of what the Omega DLC stated. It's a retcon. The ME2 (and I believe ME3) codex is very clear about Omega being "mined out". (Nor is that the only retcon in the rough time period of ME3. It's like they stopped caring about the lore altogether. *sigh*) Not only that, but his story ultimately leads nowhere and accomplishes nothing. Everything is the same at the end of the book as it was at the beginning, with the exception of several quite excellent characters having been killed off for no apparent reason. Fortunately I never read the book, but nearly every review I've read about it states that his scenecrafting and characterization is bollocks, too.

Yeah,
that rage comic? 100% accurate. I have no idea how that book made it
past quality control, much less GOT PRAISED by Chris Priestly. [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/pinched.png[/smilie] How the frell?!

Chriss Priestley? 

Casey Hudson himself read and approved.
"Finished my final review of the #MassEffect Deception novel. A really fun lead-in to #ME3! ]Kai Leng is a badass. January 31 release."

Whoops! My bad, got my people mixed up. Thanks for the correction! Point stands even stronger, though, as Hudson was the LEAD WRITER for ME3!

I've read all the novels, all the comics, played all the games and all the DLC for the games(except Pinnalce Station,) and read the codex. Don't question my knowledge of the lore

Somebody's a hardass, aren't we?

Have you ever heard about BlizzCon?

[fiendishchicken]

Grey Nayr, dude learn some things about the lore.

Actually pay attention to the game and story for once, and stop being a white knight for BW.
