Bump thread to unlock.

 

I have asked Gary ( goldleader74) to give a monthly book review for us and he has accepted , so starting this meeting ( Feb ) he will give a book review.

Did everyone hear about the Force Unleashed novel and graphic novel coming this summer? Any word on an author?

 

I thought it got pushed back to Aug just like every thing else related did?

 

Hey, I wanted to ask the book people....where would be a good place to start to get in to the books? The Thrawn trilogy? Something else?

 

IMO
1) Shadows of the Empire.
2) Kyle Kurton trilogy.
3) Jedi academy trilogy
4) Thrown trilogy
5) Current 9 book series. But thats just me.

 

Started reading Heir to the Empire, and it's pretty good so far!

 

Any new books read by anybody?

 

I have started reading Shadows of the Empire and loving it so far. Can't hardly put in down. But I was just kind of wondering how many people read the books that chronologically took place before the movies. I would like to do my best to read them in chronological (timewise) order. I am kind of neurotic about things like that. Anyway, thanks for the help and the suggestions already

Here ya go Jess, http://www.randomhouse.com/delrey/starwars/timeline.html
And if you ever want to hear it , I have the audio book of Shadows I can burn to a cd for you.

 

That would be great. Thanks Eric! I actually found that website, just wondered if anyone had read them that way or if I'm just a big freak

 

I have red about 50% of them.

 

Hey ,Just wanted to tell everyone that I'm about 80% finished with Death Troopers.
It is a bit more on the Horror/Zombie level then on a Star Wars level but it is a interesting read.
There is a very surprising cameo in it that I dint see coming.
The level of detail is really good.
" She reached into the hole in is abdomen and moved the strand's of mussel like warm ,wet piece's of yarn."
Looking forward to finishing it.

finished death troopers..I liked it... the first half was a little slow but the second part was interesting...it did feel like more of a horror book than star wars..but good read..

 

I'm currently reading "Cloak of Deception" by James Luceno.

 

I would say to start at the beginning.
The newest book in the Darth Bane series just came out, "Star Wars: Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil: A Novel of the Old Republic" by Drew Karpyshyn. The previous two books were pretty good reads; "Path of Destruction (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 1)" & "Rule of Two (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 2)". Both by Drew Karpyshyn.
