It's somewhat unusual for a trilogy to have a strong finish and a slumping middle (the prequels could be argued to be this I suppose - if one liked Episode I but not II (and I have yet to meet someone who enjoyed I or II but not III)). _________________ Sergeant Frog: Because (no matter how much I deny it) Invader Zim isn't coming back

No doubt the series is trying to mark the transition to the OT, and it was interesting, but yeah. _________________ Time to start again.

Darth Acheron Sith Emperor Joined: 08 Jan 2006 Posts: 20578 Location: The Sith Temple Well I finished it, and without ruining it: Apart from a few canonical errors which I find really grating (primarily timing issues) this was another great read, but one I'd be more likely to pick up again. The introduction of a rogue Force User of unimaginable power definately had the feel of TFU, and it made for an interesting story. Hard not to discuss the book much without giving away the ending, but it does leave it open for more books, and someone picking up SW books out of the blue would almost assume Shadows of the Empire - written by the same person - would continue the story, so I hope there'll be some sort of link. 8.5/10 _________________ Time to start again.

Darth Acheron Sith Emperor Joined: 08 Jan 2006 Posts: 20578 Location: The Sith Temple Just had a bit of a shopping spree to celebrate end of exams. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a paperback Death Troopers sitting in my bookstore, because I didn't think it was out for a while. I think it's like Order 66 though, with the UK/Australia getting paperbacks much earlier. It's very thin though! Also picked up Imperial Commando: 501st, because I want to see the story out to the end, which, sadly, will be in the next book because Traviss can't tolerate the way the SW people are mucking around with canon, and I must say I agree with her. Finally cracked and decided to buy the first book in the Fate of the Jedi series, when I'd promised myself I'd hold out until they started coming out in paperback. Oh well. I haven't ruined the series for myself at all, so I really hope one of the Big Three dies, or else it's just another wasted series. _________________ Time to start again.

For some reason, I don't think "Zzzzzombieeees in spaaaaaaace." needs to be War and Peace length _________________ Sergeant Frog: Because (no matter how much I deny it) Invader Zim isn't coming back

Darth Acheron Sith Emperor Joined: 08 Jan 2006 Posts: 20578 Location: The Sith Temple Seriously though. It's like 230 pages. It's tiny. I saw it and was like, surely this isn't the entire book, because the hardcover looks so much longer. Especially next to Imperial 'Epically pointlessly long' Commando. _________________ Time to start again.

Rive Caedo Jedi Grand Master Joined: 02 Dec 2005 Posts: 9291 Location: Kallibann Apparently the third (and final, I believe) Darth Bane novel came out today. It's not on my agenda to read (not anytime soon anyway). But at least the cover is cool (I hate the cover to the second book). _________________ Sergeant Frog: Because (no matter how much I deny it) Invader Zim isn't coming back

Devrin Jedi Knight - 2nd Degree Joined: 15 Mar 2007 Posts: 1529 Rive, I agree with you on the fact that the second cover fails. DoE will be epic. _________________ Dakoth wrote: PS3's dont break down because nobody has a reason to turn em on and play them.

Well, I can't speak for DoE, but the other two are. I suspect if this is received well it'll turn into a series a la X-Wing, about the ancient Sith up to Plageuis. _________________ Time to start again.
