What an amusing side trip. And now, I have a book I need to add a copy to my limited stash of Star wars books. Taking place between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, it does offer the, albeit brief, explanation as to why Han still owes Jabba after all those ammo lockers of credits were loaded on...
I only read three of these five stories. I generally don't care much for short stories, but I make an exception for anything about Honor Harrington or her family, or which affects the storyline of the Honorverse series. The three that I read (the three longer ones) were good. Two by Weber himself...
I went into this book thinking it would just be an excuse to make beloved characters walk and talk again. While the book did scratch that itch, it surprised me by introducing some really intriguing new characters and situations, and it seemed like it was going to be an awesome adventure in its own ...
Rather then ending the Thrawn Trilogy with a whimper, Timothy Zahn saves the best for The Last Command!With Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine gone, the New Republic was supposed to usher in a golden age of peace. Instead, the galaxy finds itself being torn apart by the ravages of war again. Led by...
The book revolves around two characters: Roman, who wants peace with the Tampies, and Ferrol, who is very much against. Both are assigned to the same mission, which may be the last chance of averting war with the Tampies.What I like is that neither side is demonized and how Ferrol and Roman come to ...
Set 28 years after Cobra Strike. The majority of the action takes place on Qasama. The main character in this one is Jasmine "Jin" Moreau, the first female cobra. However, as in the previous books in the series there are shifting perspectives. Solid science fiction from Zahn as always but probably t...
TLDR: I give this book – and the series – 4 stars. I really enjoyed it, and Timothy Zahn does not fail to entertain.The meat of the review can be found at Silk Screen Views: Judgement at Proteus Review
All the books in this series have the feel of Murder on the Orient Express, but none more than this one. It takes place entirely on the Quadrail – murder after murder – aboard the train that Spiders prevent any type of weapon. So, how on earth – er train – is someone able to commit murders?Remainder...
I don't usually go in for media tie-in books. But various folks have been telling me to read this series for a long, long time. Now that I have, when I encounter rabid fans of this series, I can say, yes, yes, I've read it and I thought it was pretty good. Do I feel compelled to read any more Star W...
I enjoy a heist story, and that this was. Many of the principal characters didn't *quite* fit into those roles. If found I enjoyed it more by disregarding what I know of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and many others from the expanded universe. Well, maybe not Lando - his character is a great face-man. ...
