PT "required" EU reading?

Way back in the day I read many of the OT EU books. I enjoyed the books I did read greatly. There were exceptions, and the fact that I despised a certain character many others love...

Now the PT is done and I realize I haven't ventured in the PT EU at all save for the Clone Wars toon. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for books taking place in the PT.

I am not too interested with stories that center too much on characters that were never in one way or another shown in the PT movies. I would love to read books that talk about the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as well as Obi-Wan and Anakin. I have always wondered about stories involving characters like Luminara and her Padawan along with Jedi like Koth & Mundi.

Thanks in advanced.

 

I just finished reading Labyrinth of Evil, an Obi-Wan and Anakin story. It takes place right before ROTS, and is a fairly good book. It leads straight into the movie, and shows events from the Clone Wars 'toon. This is a good idea, as there are people who might not've seen the show. I would recommend it.

The Approaching Storm takes place right before AOTC. When Mace says, "That's possible. He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion", this book deals with that story. It's Obi-Wan, Anakin, Luminara, and her Padawan Bariss working together.

If you like them separate, here are these titles:

The Cestus Deception- Obi-Wan and Kit Fisto team up to stop a planet from going to the Separatist side. Also, one of the clone troopers deals with his human side.

Jedi Trial- I read it several months ago and don't remember the plot very well, but it is an Anakin story. Quite good.

Hope this helps you!

 

I ran a thread called "EUC Survivor" in which people voted off books. The top three prequel books occording to the EUC are.

#1: Republic Commando: Hard Contact
#2: Shatterpoint
#3: Labrynth of Evil


And Republic Commando also won the award for Best EU Book

-The Scummy-

 

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I will be sure to take a look at these books.

 

I only plan on reading one PT book. Possible even the Last of The Jedi youth books.

Star Wars: Dark Lord : The Rise of Darth Vader

 

Dark Rendezvous was a favorite of mine.

I enjoyed LOE and I just recently finished Jedi Trial... I am going to get Dark Rendevouz soon. Along with Cestus Deception
