Review:Mr. Karpyshyn has delivered a fitting end to the Darth Bane trilogy. No spoilers here, so don't worry. While I personally do not believe he could have written a more captivating and awe-inspiring part of the trilogy than the first novel, nor a darker story than the second, Karpyshyn still definitely finishes up with a nail-biting final chapter.
While the first book centered around just the title character, both the second and third books are filled with intertwining and deep story lines t... Read more
Review:Wow. This one really surprised, as well as disappointed me. I'm a HugE EU fan, as well as a fan of Aaron Allston. But..... I just drudged through "Outcast" and am even wondering if the EU is over? I've read, in order from "Into The Void" skipping nothing.
Someone please tell me this is worth sticking with? This book was awful. I felt Aaron & Troy (and no Traviss, the worst EU novels) would be good? Now? IDK? Read more
Review:I've only read the first few stories in the book, but I am loving these glimpses of the daily lives of minor characters. Some are written from hilarious points of view, such as an administrator dealing with paperwork on Darth Vader's star destroyer. Each story gives enough information to identify the character from the movies and then brings out who that person really is and how s/he impacts the plot. It expands the universe by saluting the ordinary people (and other life-forms) that populate... Read more
Review:Fun to read and adds several enjoyable elements to the back story of several characters between the events of the movies. Took a few turns in unexpected directions, but if you enjoyed Allegiance at all then this is a must. Read more
Review:First of all, Troy Denning should have written this whole series. He is the best writer of the series and his books are the best! This book was fast paced, very eventful, and fun. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. On top of all of that his SW books also have the best covers! One of the big complaints about the recent books is the lack of continuity between authors. I believe this has been fixed a great deal. Whether the authors are learning from mistakes or if the bigger gaps between b... Read more
Review:1. Wait for the paperback or you might be wishing you had spent your money somewhere else. It is a good little read, but eternally boring at times. It is as though the author finished the book and realized it was too short. Then he went back, added tons of scenery, mundane descriptions of useless unimportant details and tried to add enough filler to make it a book. I found myself simply glancing over pages and pages of description just to get back to the story.
2. If you have not re... Read more
Review:For eight books, the "Fate of the Jedi" series has told of the battles between the Sith and Jedi. Now, in "Apocalypse", the series has reached its thrilling conclusion. This time, Coruscant is the battlefield. Abeloth, the destructive force being who has menaced Luke Skywalker for most of the series, has entrenched herself in the Jedi temple. Now, the Jedi must fight their way though thousands of Sith to reclaim their temple.
But, victory is not guaranteed, for Abeloth has the ability... Read more
Review:I really enjoyed reading this story, but I feel a lot was left open, as if a sequel was intended but never delivered. I very much look forward to learning more about this character and what happens after this story ends. Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this book. It has just about everything I look for in a good read, suspense, action, horror,SciFi and a little humor. Its definitely not something I was expecting from a star wars novel but it was a great surprise. I loved how dark the content got as the story progressed. Definitely a great read and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that's a star wars/SciFi horror fan its a great blend. Read more
