Review:This story of a badman going straight is not only a different take on Lamours' plots, but it is very well written and engaging. I am uplifted by the characters who were the outlaws and it was very refreshing and hopeful. Read more

Review:A classic from my childhood first experienced through the Disney movie. This was quite a bit different yet all the better for it. I recommend to both the science fiction fan and the lover of history. Written about 1873 it's amazing how much things haven't changed in travel and in people. Read more

Review:This was signature Gray Man stuff. Great plot, great action with enough unexpected events to keep me in suspense as Mark Greaney wove his tale. I would recommend this to Gray Man fans or American Assassin fans or readers of similar books in this spy genre. Read more

Had it not been for Zahn's amazing writing style my rating would have dropped below three. However, I ... Read more
Review:A novel which takes place when Anakin Skywalker is a teenager. An easy read but content is only fair as compared to other novels and series in the star wars environment. It does provide an introduction to Thrawn for future adventures in the galaxy Read more
Review:Allegiance was clearly one of the best Star Wars books I have read in recent years. I was very interested to learn about Mara's early years working for Emperor Palpatine as the, still learning, Emperors Hand.
I was also very interested in seeing a different side of the Stormtroopers rather than just seeing them getting killed right in left. You learn that they aren't a bunch of moronic and inept troops like you surmise from watching the movies, rather they are a crack squad of troops who are ... Read more
