Review
"The action scenes are clear, exciting and really easy to follow. Lots of Star Wars type explosions and action here! An enjoyable Star Wars novel." --Emotionally 14
"Paul S Kemp [is] quickly becoming the go to guy for Old Republic era Jedi and Sith battles with his fluid, well-described fight scenes and compelling characterisation." --Blogomatic3000
"Deceived should certainly keep Star Wars fans entertained, it's a little shorter than I would have liked but that's just a testament to the quality of writing and the attachment I felt to the characters." --Game-Pad
"Try this saga of a Sith war-fancier who tears down the Jedi Temple before he's even had breakfast." --Total Film

Product Description
In the awesome trailer created for the new online video game, Star Wars(TM): The Old Republic(TM) from BioWare and LucasArts, a mysterious Sith Lord infiltrates the Jedi Temple, takes on a Jedi Master, prevails...and the Temple is destroyed, thus setting the stage for the famous Treaty of Coruscant. Our book tells the tale of this Sith Lord: his background, his progression up through the Sith Lord hierarchy, to the events that end with the destruction of Coruscant, capital of the Old Republic. Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a story-driven, massive multiplayer, online PC game.

Format:Hardcover
If you have read Paul Kemps previous Star Wars novel Crosscurrent like me then you will be pleased to hear he has done it again and created an action packed novel with strong well written characters. At its heart lies Darth Malgus who is shown to be anything but your typical Sith Lord, what with his code of honour and his love for his 'servant'. He makes a refreshing change from the usual Sith Lords featured in these novels.The other two main characters in book are likable, although the ex soldier forced to turn to crime to pay for his sick daughter's treatment is a bit of a cliche.
What lets the novel down is its length, coming in at only 255 pages compared to usual of at 300. The rest of the book is just padded with filler designed to get you to buy the Fate of the Jedi novels.
Overall it is a good read but over too soon.

This book is, for lack of a better word, FANTASTIC. For those that have read other star wars books this is just as good as them but different in a way that makes people understand the characters better and their motives. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves star wars.

Format:Hardcover
Two years ago, Bioware released the "Deceived" trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic on an unsuspecting E3 games show, and it blew everyone away. Now, Paul S. Kemp has built on this trailer, telling the tale of 3 days surrounding the Fall of Coruscant and Darth Malgus' attack on the Jedi Temple.
Its a stunning read. Building on the emotional punch of the trailer, fleshing the characters of Malgus and his fellow Sith conquerors and giving a real feel to the Jedi's despair as the Sith Empire executes its plan. It is a perfect opener, ready for the MMO game to be released later this year, moreso than Fatal Alliance was a few months ago.
An excellent read, and I hope Kemp is planning to follow this up. It's left in a perfect place for a sequel, and deserves to be followed up.
