    Recently,I've noticed alot of talk about Shatterpoint,since the paperback came out around a week ago.Plus,I always see alot of good reviews about Traitor,and with his Episode novel only a year away he's become on of the most popular authors.So here you go,a Stover fan club! :)

    Ive heard that he did a decent NJO book. Considering that NJO just plain sucks, that says something about his writing abilties.

    I loved Traitor- it's very high up on my list of favorite EU books.


    I haven't read Shatterpoint yet, but I hear it's a good read as well.

    My sister and I are big fans of his, we have a fansite for him. Hehe~ I can post the link here if you want. :D

    I adore his SW books to death but his original works are INCREDIBLE. You should all read them if you haven't yet. Especially Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle!

    ^_^

    I've Read and loved all his books, Sign me up for the Club. Iron Dawn, Heroes Die Jericho Moon, Blade Of Tyshale, NJO Traitor, and Shatterpoint are all great reads.
    Aside from EP III, has some other Caine books coming out, Caine Black Knife and Dead Mans Heart.

    Are there really two Caine books coming out? I went to hear him speak once and he mentioned just one. I can't wait, in either case! Those are some of the best (if somewhat graphic) books I have read.

    MWS Discussion Thread it says Dead Man's Heart will come out if Caine survives book 3. Either Stover is writing book 4 or playing with us (or Both).

    Have you ever read an interview of his. I found them really rewarding, do a google search for one you'll enjoy it.

    He is awesome, just like his novels. I had the great fortune to meet him at a book signing...very cool guy. And it wouldn't surprise me if he was fooling us with the Caine books. He seems to like to keep readers in suspense. :p

    I did my research paper on his use of Violence and Philosophy. I found many quotes where he claims he hates sequels. Iron Dawn and Jericho Moon. 3(Possibly 4) Caine Books. 3 Star Wars Books. He sure writes a lot of things he hates. ;) :p He's still the man though.

    He's posted on the boards many times and I was impressed at how he'd get involved with discussions outside of his own A&A thread, brainstorming with the rest of the fans about the EU.

    Traitor is definitely one of the best Star Wars books out there. He brings grit and realism into the EU, which I find is sorely lacking with most other authors in the franchise. Hopefully, I can get around to reading Shatterpoint, as well as his non-SW books, soon.
