I haven't read much EU material, so I would have to re-read a lot in order to get back up to speed.

I'm slogging through Death Star, right now. It isn't a bad book, but it just doesn't grab me the way that some of the other novels have done in the past. Same was said true with Millenium Falcon. I was a bit disappointed with that one, as well.

I just got to the part where Motti's mentor was blown up in that freak "accident"... but I can see where it is starting to pick up a little bit. Still, it is a bit straining to read, although not nearly as bad as the "Tales" books.

I've been reading the Republic Commando series which is probably why I've been on a SW kick lately. I still haven't read anything from the NJO or later in the timeline. So, I also have a lot that I'd have to read to get up to speed.

Death Star was okay. Like Darth_McCain said, it starts to pick up after a while. I had trouble connecting with the characters... they kinda read as background characters.

Yeah... I think that is why it is so slow going for me. It really reads more like a "Tales" book than anything.

Yes its a complete background novel but I loved it personally finding out more about the Death Star was something I was wanting since I first saw A New Hope.

The Republic Commando series is fantastic and i find that people either hate Traviss's writing or love it. I personally love it.

I'm reading Legacy of the Force-Sacrifice now. I like the series so far. I also like the Republic Commando Series and can't wait for the Imperial Commando series.

OT- What I'm really waiting for is the SW Atlas.

How ironic that Eric's post was time stamped 11:38. Very significant to the the Star Wars genre....

You couldn't have done that on purpose, if you tried, huh, Eric?

I thought I would bring this back into play as lots of new novels have come out this year, or people are catching up on their reading lists like myself.

Currently reading RC:Order 66. I like the Clones, and Mandos.

I'm thinking someone should become a Merc, since you love them so much.

I'm just saying.....

Still reading Order 66. Good Read so far.
As far as going Mando Merc, I'm there! Signed up but haven't posted yet. Name is Nah Loso. How's that for a play on Han Solo, my alter ego.

Very nice.... very nice, indeed!

So, I am half-way through Hard Contact and I gotta say I am loving it. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I saw the new Imperial Commando novel in paperback at the bookstore this last weekend. I almost bought it, but my empty bank account convinced me otherwise. I just have to wait. I'm working though Coruscant Nights right now anyway. I might as well finish that and then see if the library has it.

Anyone read that zombie stormtrooper book yet? I'd like to hear some reactions. ^_^
