Here are links to my latest Star Wars book reviews!

Wild Space

Mara Jade © — Jan 09, 2009 09:14 PM

Wild Space is book two in the Clone Wars series, roughly following the events of the movie release. To avoid trodding the same territory as the weekly cartoon show, Karen Miller's debut Star Wars novel abandons Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka

Coruscsant Nights II: Street of Shadows

Mara Jade © — Nov 01, 2008 02:16 PM

When we last left our hero he was battling for his life, on the run from several plot lines veering wildly in his direction with not a hope in the world of actually fulfilling the jacket's promise of being a Jedi P.I.--Street of Shadows proves to

Republic Commando: Order 66

Mara Jade © — Oct 28, 2008 09:15 PM

Rarely do I find an EU book that brings the Star Wars magic back full throttle, but Order 66 did that for me. There's some fans who aren't fond of Traviss as an author, but like her adoption of Mandalorian culture to breed family, familarity, and humanity

Jedi Twilight Review--Spoilers

Mara Jade © — Jul 02, 2008 04:34 PM

I expected a lot more from this book. The idea, a Jedi-turned-P.I. after escaping the Purges and finding work in the slimey underbelly of Coruscant's lower levels, sounds great--a nice treat and reprieve from the same ol' same ol' Jedis always doing

"The Science of Star Wars"

Mara Jade © — Jun 18, 2008 02:38 PM

I hope this new article in the latest issue of the Insider isn't a one-time only thing. It's pretty neat to see real life applications of gadgets and technology once only seen on the big screen or read about in books.

Lightsabers Are Not The Best Stuff on Earth!

Mara Jade © — May 04, 2008 12:30 PM

Aside from the Mando harvested metal beskar stuff, and something that starts with a 'c' (coriolis?) that I just read about and now, can't find, what else can't a lightsaber cut through?

The Insider's Latest: 100 Best Things About Star Wars

Mara Jade © — Feb 29, 2008 07:24 PM

I'm a little disappointed to see Jar Jar (#55) on this list at all, but that he ranks higher than the X-wing, C-3PO, Vader's suit, wookiees, TIE fighters, and Shaak Ti (Gasp!), not to mention countless other more worthy adversaries, makes me very

Jacen's Sacrifice

To avoid spoiling anyone before they've had the chance to pick up a copy of Sacrifice, I'll do an introduction first.

Allegiance Review--Spoiler Material

Mara Jade © — Feb 05, 2007 01:09 PM

In the first two chapters of Allegiance, Zahn introduces us to a little bit of everybody. The Empire is bad, citizens are disillusioned, stormtroopers and Han have divided loyalties, Luke is a n00b, and Mara Jade really kicks butt.

The votes are in...

Legacy of the Force 3: Tempest

Mara Jade © — Dec 10, 2006 10:43 PM

I have to say, I was beginning to be a little disappointed with Tempest in comparison to the other LoTF novels thus far. It seemed as if Jacen's introspection, fear, and doubt from the end of Bloodlines was brushed aside because here he was, acting as

Dave Wolverton, Brandon Sanderson, and L.E. Modesitt

Unfortunately, due to time discrepancies on Brandon's website, I missed the signing in Citrus Heights, but did managed to talk to him on the phone and got a promise for some signed book plates. I also got the 11x14 glossy photo promotional covers signed

Dave Wolverton in California Bay Area

Okay, so unfortunately, my Borders Express store was unable to give full attention to the author signing I mentioned in my last post, but they will be at the Borders Express in Citrus Heights the same day, in the afternoon around 3:00.

Sci-fi/Fantasy fans in the California Bay Area!

Here's the info:

The similarities are astonishing

In light of the recent release of the Eragon trailer, I wanted to point your thoughts towards the texual evidence of highly dubious similarities between

Bloodlines--spoilers ahead!

From sneering, hurt at Lando after learning they'd been betrayed to Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back" to turning to his son in Vector Prime to say "You left him," Han Solo has been the catalyst for our emotions as readers--the one truly

Outrageous closed-mindedness!

It's been making its way across the 'net. Ladies, support me in proving this man wrong!
