STAR WARS ebook discussion & comments

[Admiral James Kirk]

I can't wait to download Splinter of the Minds Eye. I've always loved that book. I may also download the 20th anniversary ed of Heir. Even though NJO put me off of the EU like pesticide puts cockroaches off of living, I remember buying a first edition HC of Heir twenty years back. I had no idea the books would keep going on for so long though.

I love that book as well all so mine is sighned by the author and carrie fisher. I think we just have till mid june then all star wars books will be downloadable. as for the 20 th aniversery of zahn's book I have'nt seen it listed in e form just the original book...
still I will keep my physical library of star wars and have it all on my nook

Full Blurr:

The fate of the Rebellion rests on Luke Skywalker's next move.
But have the rebels entered a safe harbor or a death trap?
Internal flapEdit

Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebellion is in desperate need of a new base. So when Governor Ferrouz of Candoras Sector proposes an alliance, offering the Rebels sanctuary in return for protection against the alien warlord Nuso Esva, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie are sent to evaluate the deal.
Mara Jade, the Emperor's Hand, is also heading for Candoras, along with the five renegade stormtroopers known as the Hand of Judgment. Their mission: to punish Ferrouz's treason and smash the Rebels for good.
But in this treacherous game of betrayals within betrayals, a wild card is waiting to be played.



I think we are going to meet the Vagaari again.

By the way, is the Secret Missions series aviable in ebook form somewhere?

for those who are interested the web site club jade has the art for book #9 fate of the jedi apocalypse. and they have a e3 trailer for the new old republic game trailer excellent trailer. the return of the sith to koriban.

I was wondering when the last FotJ cover would be released. I've liked the covers for the series.

Another good trailer for SWTOR. That smuggler make me think John Marston because I've just finished Red Dead Redemption. Seriously, is there anything Malgus didn't do during the war?

Those Sith warships remind me a lot of a VicStar.

It said Intro cinematic on the vid I watched, it seems an odd choice since this is the start of the war and the game is set after the war, so 20 or 30 years later. You'd think the intro cinematic would be placed closer to the events of the game.

Less excited about Zahn's new book. Didn't enjoy Allegiance that much nor am I a huge Mara Jade fan.

I guess the next novel I'm looking forward to (after Conviction) is Revan.

 

[timothy]

well they way things are looking there will be more old republic books coming...
