It's usually when they were E-Novels 1st. Although I don't think this one was?

But yeah they only seem to release those in other Paperbacks these days too.

Just started on Fury. So won't read David's post yet. Very good so far. :)

Just finished Darth Vader - Dark Lord.
Thought it was excellent! :D It's like Revenge of the Sith - the day after.
Ties up lots of loose ends, answers lots of questions and is a really good read.

I think James Lucerno is one of my fave SW authors. Mostly when he is doing stuff around the films. He really gets you involved and hits the nail on the head.

I always thought that the Clones were programmed to obey Order 66 but he makes it like it's just following orders.
In paperback form it's excellent value. 8)

Read Invincible and that was good.
Finished all the Republic Commando books. Really great series, looking forward to Order 66.
Now onto the 1st Darth Bane novel. Good so far, getting into it. Different to what I was expecting.

WHSmiths have the Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Visual Guide and Star Wars Blueprints in to buy today.

The Clone Wars The Visual Guide didn't impress me from what I saw. It was more of a storybook. The other guides show more behind the scenes or made for the book stuff. This seemed a lot of pics with just a few pointers to areas on ships. Anyone getting it?

Star Wars Blueprints looked a little better. But only 5 large size posters. One of which is online.
Again if anyone gets it let me know what you think.

After finally getting the Drak Hosre Twilight series I've read that, Infinity's End, Darkness and Right Of Passage. I've also read the Jedi Concil Acts Of War series too.

On the book front, the last book I read was Coruscant Nights Jedi Twilight. It was an excellnt start to the series. I've just started the Clone Wars novel.

Currenly I am mostly reading... The Last Jedi series.

Trying to catch up. They are great books. :) Small and quick to read. Also they are in cannon mostly.
Featuring a Jedi looking to rebuild after Order 66. Details on Padmes death, Obi-Wan in hiding. Dexter Jettser. Good stuff.

I need to get the Clone Wars novel and I am probably going to get the TFU novel.
There's a lot of books I haven't got but there are too many.

So Coruscant Nights is good? What about The Death Star?

Finished reading Order 66.
Brilliant book! Best I've read in a while. Karen Traviss really makes u feel for the clones. Also she tells a great story about the rise of the Sith and fills in lots of hidden bits apart RotS.
It was a shame when it ended. I dunno if there will be a sequel or anything but there could be some short stories.
Look forward to reading the new Clone Wars books.

Next up I think is the Millennium Falcon. 8)

Finished Allies and now onto Backlash.
Anyone else think that these epic story lines could be compressed into about 5 books rather than so many over such a long time.
There was a section in Allies in the forest that would have just been cut out of a film, they went on for too long.
