No one knows really, other than it will be a horror novel.

Schreiber is a pretty good horror author. I'm more excited about the Deathtroopers book than pretty much anything else coming out this year. The Zekk book might be interesting, though I'm not sure if he can carry a book.


I don't think he is a big enough character to carry a book either.

I've almost finished Shadows of Mindor and I am not very impressed with it so far, though I am curious to see how it finishes up, but it's not the sort of book that you just can't put down, I had no trouble walking away from the last fifty pages for a few days.

I just finished Shadows of Mindor. It was decent, but not the sort of book you just can't put down, I liked the very beginning and the very end best. Not much to report on it, I would give it a yes for the books to read. Just as long as you don't expect a tremendous fantastic read. Just a decent read.

I just read the new Legacy and Jag is confirmed as the first Emperor of the Fel Dynasty.


And Fate of the Jedi starts in 18 days with Outcast.

I just read Truce at Bakura and I have to say that it was definitely a fun read. Had I not known about what would happen to the main characters later on it would have certainly been a more suspenseful. The entenchment technology is a little far out but at the same time I felt that Barbara captured the characters well.

Anybody read Outcast yet?
I finished it a couple weeks ago and would only give it a so-so. I had two major problems with the book. First, the Han and Leia plot just wasn't that interesting; I could care less about the fate of Kessel, though I'm hoping they tie Allana's experience with that dark spirit thing in with future events just to make something relevant. Second, they completely blew settling the Jaina-Jag-Zekk question. I guess we are supposed to assume Zekk is a goner and poof! Jaina and Jag are a couple in the first chapter. Where was the big sappy "I love you!" scene? At least Jaina made the right choice :-) I did like all the political maneuvering, though, and I'm wondering what's going on with poor Valin Horn.

I have just started reading Fate of the Jedi: Outcast, I'll pass it around when I am finished with it.

wow, just read Outcast, Omen, True Colors, and Order 66. All were enjoyable but I have to say of the four books I enjoyed Order 66 the most.

oh wow, I've read so much lately. Millennium Falcon, Outcast, Omen, Abyss, True Colors, Order 66, and Darth Maul:Shadow Hunter. Would take me forever to tell about them all, but of all of these my favorites are Order 66, and Abyss. Neither finishes on a happy note, but they are intriguing and kept my attention, I did not want to put them down.
