Kurzbeschreibung
An all-new adventure inspired by the award-winning videogame from BioWare!
The universe is under siege. Every fifty thousand years, a race of sentient machines invades our galaxy to harvest all organic life-forms. They are the Reapers.
Two people who know the truth are desperately searching for a way to stop the cycle: Navy admiral David Anderson and his partner, Kahlee Sanders. They have uncovered grisly evidence proving that the Reaper threat is real. But in so doing they have exposed the machinations of Cerberus, a secretive paramilitary organization, and its mysterious leader, the Illusive Man—putting David and Kahlee in mortal danger, for Cerberus will stop at nothing to protect its secrets.
But along the way, they find an unlikely ally in Gillian Grayson, a young woman with extraordinary powers. Once the subject of horrifying scientific experiments, Gillian is now free—and beginning to master her deadly abilities. But after learning that Cerberus was responsible for the death of her father, Gillian swears vengeance against the group and the Illusive Man—threatening to unravel everything Kahlee and David are fighting for.

I could live with some of the errors in lore, timeline and background. Though, frankly, their sheer number is completely inexcusable, since all it would take to avoid most of them is to actually have read the previous books or played the games - something the author quite obviously couldn't have been bothered with. Let alone research some of his stuff on one of several mass effekt wiki pages...
But what's really appaling is the way this book cuts off the trilogy, with, basically, a complete lack of a story.
***spoilers ahead***
The book is advertised as a bridge from Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect 3, which couldn't be less true. The only thing Deception does is to "clean house" and completely sever all loose end left from Ascension and Retribution by killing off all characters introduced in these books - and not needed or prone to appear in ME 3 - in the most pointless way possible. There is really no new story told here, no new elements or characters introduced, the events are unspectacular, unrelated to the bigger picture, and just lead nowhere.
What's worse, Deception basically spoils Ascension and Retribution, as all Events in those 2 books are rendered entirely meaningless. Gillian for instance, built as a character over 2 books, is killed off in passing, as are Hendel and Nick. The other characters, who are likely going to make an appearance in the 3rd game, are carefully left untouched, and thus, remain utterly bland.
Worst thing with a BioWare logo on it since Dragon Age 2...

To begin with, I'm a huge Mass Effect fan. Played the games, read all the comics as well as the previous 3 novels by Drew Karpyshyn.
When it was announced that the next novel based in the Mass Effect universe whould be written by Dietz instead of Karpyshyn I was alarmed. Too well I remembered Dietz's glorified walktrough for Halo: Combat Evolved which was eventually discribed as a novel.
But being the ME nut that I am I ordered the book anyways.
Soo ... where to start.
The plot itself is flimsy at best. Dietz takes characters that the games and/or Karpyshyn carefully built up and either changes their characteristics completely or lets them jump from one personality to the next within pages.
Although there are several characters who had been central protagonists in the previous novels who are killed off within a couple of words without meaning or use.
The end of this novel itself is not really an end for the "action" simply comes to an aprupt end. There is nothing to be taken from the story told in this novel. Nor does it add anything of value to the Mass Effect universe.
If you're looking for some ME related reading I strongly advice you to read the other three novels as well as the comics for their quality is far superior to this "novel".
If you are a completionist (like me) and need to own anything ME related no bad review will stop you from buying Deception anyway.

I have read all novels so far and couldn't wait for Deception to come out. Yet I am rather disappointed. It isn't the story but the shameless errors in lore and background knowledge regarding the Mass Effect universe that make this book really bad. If you don't mind things like that, by all means go ahead and read it. But if you prefer your storytelling consistent with established lore and facts, I recommend to stay away from this book.
I can't tell if the author was just too lazy to do any form of research or simple didn't bother at all. How Bioware could approve of this book to be published is beyond me.
