Buff, NY Book CLub

Just finished Sacrifice. Holy crap...

 

Indeed!

 

Legacy of the Force: Revelation came out last Tuesday. So far I'm about 100 pages in, and it's the same old Karen Traviss stuff as her other books in this series.

 

It gets somewhat better but I am a bit bewildered in the idea that they can close all of the Series gaps with a 299 page finale.

 

They fixed this in the actual release.

 

Jay, did you ever locate Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact for me?

I still want to re-read them all.

 

Re-read? I haven't even read them the first time through

 

I'll let you borrow them when I'm done.

 

I own the first one (Hard Contact?), but haven't picked up the other two yet.

 

Finished SW: LotF: Invincible yesterday. Really good book, but it seemed like it was over kind of abruptly? All in all, I loved the whole series. It probably could`ve been written in fewer volumes but I still enjoyed it.

 

I won't be able to read it until I can borrow a copy from someone. Stupid hardcovers...

 

Horn: "Do we trust them?"
Wessiri: "What does your gut say?"
Horn: "In for a micron, in for a meter. No one makes a victim of folks I'm sworn to protect."
? Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri

I'm re-reading Rogue Squadron: Family Ties... Good book!

 

Jeff,
Do you know when the next series is due out?
There has to be a way of cleaning up the mess they made..

 

I'm in the same boat Marty...

 

Sorry, Nutty. Don`t know how I missed this. This thread gets buried alot

Anywho, since your post, Coruscant Nights started. Its a trilogy set just after revenge of the sith.
The final Republic Commando book "Order 66" comes out in Sept. And of course The Force Unleashed just came out last week.
As far as anything after LotF, "Millenium Falcon" should be out in Oct and its set about 2 years after the death of Caedus. Looks like a one-shot book.

 

Finished The Force Unleashed today. I, actually liked it alot considering its based on a video game. It felt like a video game story a few times but it was still pretty exciting. I liked how they bridged the prequels and original trilogy. It did leave me with a few unanswered questions regarding Starkiller/Galen, but nothing that ruined it for me.

Did anyone else read this?

 

I picked it up on Friday and started reading it...it's pretty good so far.

 

I picked up the graphic novel and look forward to picking up the book. It was good to see how in the graphic novel the wove the apprentice into the story and made it make sense.

ON a non SW note, We picked up an advance copy of a book called Johnny Gruesome and SFX. I'm about 1\4 of the way thru it an it is really good so far. The author was there signing copies and giving them away.

 

Did you finish it yet?

 

Half way done...life is killing me!

You're right about it sometimes feeling like a video game, but all in all I like it!

 

Picked up "Order 66" this morning.

 

Finished "Order 66" today. As much as I loved the whole republic commando series, I'm a little disappointed with the final book. I don`t want to get too specific in case anyone is reading it.
Maybe it's Karen Travis' writing style, but more than a few times I wasn't sure what was happening and had to go back and see if I missed something only to find I didn't. Could just be that I'm dumb.

 

Hey everyone!


Well i finally read Dark Lord. I was really impressed with this story! Tho I feel there could have been a little more darth vader parts!

 

An horror star wars novel?

 

Not the first, actually.

In 1997, Bantam published a series of 11 childrens horror books called STAR WARS - Galaxy of Fear by John Whitman. Sort of along the lines of the R.L. Stine books from years past.

Lots of large alien bugs and space zombies and such but set in the STAR WARS universe.
