Publisher's summary

The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic ramps up the action and brings listeners "face-to-face" for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order’s Dark Lords: Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Hope” game trailers.

Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous - something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.

Her name is Aryn Leneer - and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she’s going to find out what happened to him - even if it means breaking every rule in the book.

Really good

Great story line. The only annoying thing is the reader's voice for the little girl. 😂

Good, riveting at the middle.

Excellent book but hard to pick at the beginning, it seems dull and even confusing, only recommended to those who have played the game or have deep understanding of the kotor universe

I wasn't deceived by this book's quality.

What made the experience of listening to Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived the most enjoyable?

This is the fourth book I own where Marc Thompson narrates the story and once again he didn't disappoint me. This man could read a phone book to me and I still would find it enjoyable.

Aside from that it's nice to see some more backstory on Malgus, as at least of the beginning of SW:TOR he's one of the main villains. It's nice to see his motivation for doing what he does and also how he deals with things. It was nice to see a more fleshed out Sith character.

What did you like best about this story?

The story about Z-man and why he does what he does. Between Jedi and Sith fighting it's nice to someone without the Force being awesome as well.

Which scene was your favorite?

There was this very touching scene when Z-man and Aryn say their goodbyes.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment that Malgus had to make an ultimate decision was very well written. Also a scene where Z-man had to do something that would stick with him for the rest of his life. You could feel the characters emotions.

Any additional comments?

Even though the characters are good on their own the story does get kind of boring and aside from Malgus I don't find the Sith very interesting.

Wow!

I really enjoy this book because the characters come to life. I think there is magic in the author's and Narrator's work here. It's also important to note the quality of the special effects the production crew really made something special here.
I am a fan of Paul S Kemp, Crosscurrent is my favorite book ever! This story though less dynamic is every bit as enthralling in the emotional turmoil of power and corruption.
