	STAR WARS: IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501^st by Karen Traviss Release date October 27 The Clone Wars are over, but for those with reason to run from the new galactic Empire, the battle to survive has only just begun.... The Jedi have been decimated in the Great Purge, and the Republic has fallen. Now the former Republic Commandos -- the galaxy's finest special forces troops, cloned from Jango Fett -- find themselves on opposing sides and in very different armor. Some have deserted and fled to Mandalore with the mercenaries, renegade clone troopers, and rogue Jedi who make up Kal Skirata's ragtag resistance to Imperial occupation. Others -- including men from Delta and Omega squads -- now serve as Imperial Commandos, a black ops unit within Vader's own 501st Legion, tasked to hunt down fugitive Jedi and clone deserters. For Darman, grieving for his Jedi wife and separated from his son, it's an agonizing test of loyalty. But he's not the only one who'll be forced to test the ties of brotherhood. On Mandalore, clone deserters and the planet's own natives, who have no love for the Jedi, will have their most cherished beliefs challenged. In the savage new galactic order, old feuds may have to be set aside to unite against a far bigger threat, and nobody can take old loyalties for granted.

	Has it been confirmed if this will be the last of the "series", or will it end with IC2? My biggest concern is if IC will just be left hanging, or have a very inconclusive ending. -----signature----- "An elegant weapon for more civilized times, eh?"

Karen said that Imperial Commando 2 will be her last Star Wars novel, that said, i am eagerly awaiting this book.

	This is gonna be an awesome novel. Too bad there will only be 2 IC novels. Maybe LucasArts will make an Imperial Commando game? -----signature----- "This will be a day long remembered." -Darth Vader; Episode IV Proud Member of the Obi-Wan Kenobi Fan Club (SWC) Jedi Master in the New Jedi Trials (SWC) Clone Commander in the Galactic Republic (SWC) Rebel Commando in the Rebel Alliance (SWC)

	Do you need to read anything first before this novel or can jump right into this book? Basically I'm asking can is this a stand alone book? Thanks -----signature----- Darth Caedus, You should have been So Much More!

	Traviss tries to write so you can jump in, but it would be a richer experience if you have read the Republic Commando series first. Libraries are your friends if you don't want to invest money first. -----signature----- Well-behaved women seldom make history. You can't fix stupid and you can't reason with crazy.

	Wanna know how much for a completist I am? I'm picking up this book despite the fact that, with the words "Karen Traviss" on the title, I can expect more of her usual cracked rose colored glasses view of the Star Wars universe, and that same view hasn't exactly thrilled me the past few times I read it (especially in Revelation, the NotAMovie Novelization and Order 66.) -----signature----- Devi is my Padme Angel All Hail Megatron!

	I should probably get around to reading Order 66 before I read this. Etain and Darman have always driven me nuts for some reason. Not very free thinking, those two. I wonder if Scout will be in this? She better not be Etain-ized. -----signature----- SAN HILL LIVES!

	Can "we" as a family on these EU theforce.net boards, officially invite Karen Traviss to come back & hang out with us here? I would really love to see that happen & will be quite sad if the TFN staff & members here don't try & make the effort. Can't wait to read IC: 501st & I'm so looking forward to talking about it with her or to see a blog on her site talking about how she feels about TFN. -----signature----- "Six pints of bitter," said Ford Prefect to the barman of the Horse and Groom.
