Just finished Shadow Hunter. Thought it was decent. Probably three and a half lightsabers out of five. Thought it could have done a better job of giving a fleshed out backstory to original characters earlier than they did. Also thought than an original character might have been a better use for the role Obi-Wan played in the book, as his appearance just seemed like "oh, sweet, I get to have Kenobi in my book!" from the author.
Next Star Wars read for me will probably be Dark Empire, but I have a few non-SW books to start on before then.

I'm finally onto the third book of The Swarm War. The first two were fine and I don't expect any different for the third.
So, jasconsolojediknight, what was the verdict on Shatterpoint?

So far really good. I like how Mace explains things the way he see it. I'm also reading again for like the 6 or 8 time goblet of fire, and I'm reading a nice Chirstain book called Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters. I let you know how i like the ending.

Sorry about the late reply. Really busy lately with the Wedding reception and moving and all...
But yeah. I saw that Zahn was in on the new series and was thrilled! Looks like they are going to try to make this next series of books more "tight" than the last one by using just a few select (and the best) authors rather than scattering a bunch of books around to several authors who have no idea about continuity.
I'm reading Betrayed. And its definitely a typical Alston book--great dilogue and difficult to put down. Much better than the two that he did for the NJO.
This new series is interesting at times because while it still has a lot of the big 3, it often features the children of the characters that we know so well--Jacen, Ben, Jaina...even Kell Tainer's son! (although his is just a mention so far).
Some of the typical Allston/X-wing characters show up.
Very good and highly recommended so far.

Yes it was a good book. I cound not put it down either and once i got done i want the next one but i won't see that till about the end of this year. I like how they went into more detail about jacen solo and his past. Yes the way the author went with this book is much better then he did with the other in the NJO.

I can't wait to get into the new series. However, I'm WAY behind. I finished Jedi Trial a week or so ago. Meh. Very underwhelming.
Now I'm reading Labyrinth of Evil. So far so good. Can already see Palps playing tricks with Anakin's mind about the Jedi vs Republic angle.
And if anyone cares, this will be post #44,999 for me. Yippee.

Toby: I agree with you about Jedi Trial. When I read it, I was sooo excited! Corran's grandfather! This should be good! Anakin and Nejja Halcyon (or whatever his name was) teamed up. Both with secret wives. Awesome! They could form a bit of a bond.
NOPE
Instead it seemed like the book went absolutely nowhere. Very disappointing. 
If you haven't read all of the NJO, Toby, I'd just start with the Swarm Wars series by Denning. Or perhaps the last NJO book and go from there. The Swarm Wars series was good as well.

I've read the whole NJO, I'm just catching up on the Clone Wars era stuff. I still haven't read the ROTS novelization because I wanted to read the books leading up to it first.

I tried to read Repbulic Commando. But UGH! Not my thing.
I finished Betrayal. I really enjoyed it.
But something bothers me about the Jedi. They seem to continually have problems with deciding wherer their loyalties lie. When they are completely with the government, they are used as Pawns. When Luke had them follow their own understanding of the will of the Force, he had rogue Jedi on his hands.
And we see this crop up again and again--the Mandalorian Wars in KotoR comic, Clone Wars, NJO, etc.
I wonder if perhaps the fact that they have no absolutes on which to base their beliefs causes the problems. If they had some sort of written code by which to live other than "to follow the Force" perhaps they would do better.
Cognitive beings quite easily can deceive themselves into believing that what they want to do is the right thing to do--justifying their actions even when they are in the wrong.
Anyways...
I have started Outbound Flight. Very good so far. I like seeing the pre-Empire era Thrawn.
And I guess it isn't just the insanity of a clone. Apparently the original Jorus C'aboth's was a jerk as well.
