my NJO reading list......

well, I've read 38 starwars books but no NJO books, because I've allways heard that they were stupid.
I've decided to give 'em a try now, if for no other reason but to call them stupid objectivly.

could some one give me a list of them starting with the first one?

and also are there any really stupid once that aren't worth the paper? If so I'll just scikp those.

thanks for any help!

 

Interesting... I've enjoyed them, I know there are some who dont like them, but if you like the other books, you'd probably like them as well...

Vector Prime
Dark Tide 1: Onslaught
Dark Tide 2: Ruin
Agents of Chaos 1: Hero's Trial
Agents of Chaos 2: Jedi Eclipse
Balance Point
Edge of Victory 1: Conquest
Edge of Victory 2: Rebirth
Star By Star
Dark Journey
Enemy Lines 1: Rebel Dream
Enemy Lines 2: Rebel Stand
Traitor
Destiny's Way
Force Heretic 1: Remnant
Force Heretic 2: Refugee
Force Heretic 3: Reunion
The Final Prophecy
(to be released in less than 2 weeks) The Unifying Force

 

No, there are no stupid NJO books that are worth skipping.

There are some that are not as good when compared to others, but they are all vital to the overall NJO storyline.

 

ok thanks guys.I've heard rumors that NJO has kyle katarn in it?
though that's most likly just wishful thinking on my part.

 

He's not really in it. He gets a brief mention in Remnant, but he does not appear. It's more along the lines of "Where the sith is Katarn"?

 

Yeah, its just a passing reference. But its a start, so maybe we'll see in some other books sometime.

 

It wasnt even that much...they just named him in a list of jedi who werent there...Grave Disappointment. I wanna see the Ravens Claw kicking some Vong bum.

 

The only non-essential parts of the storyline were the e-books. (I think there were 3-4?) One of them, Ylesia, can be found for free on starwars.com. (There's a link in Lit.)

Other than that, I'd recommend reading all of them. It's a very linear story; the events that take place in one book are pivotal for the events in the next. If you skip some, you'll get lost.

All in all, it's not the best book series ever, IMHO. The fact that it was written by so many different authors makes it somewhat inconsistant in some ways. There are definatly some outstanding moments, though.

 

It'll do for passing idle time during thanksgiving and christmas break.
