Jedi Search (Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Vol. 1)152 reviews Kevin Anderson Spectra, 1994 Librarian MS + Fun in spite of continuity conflicts with the films (that came after this book was written) + A VERY good start to an intriguing series Some of the boys really like the smaller Star Wars novels. I have tried to get what they request for summer reading.             Star Wars Dark Nest (Dark Swarm Trilogy 3 in 1, 1, 2, & 3) Troy Denning Science Fiction Book Club, 2005 This is all 3 volumes of the Dark Swarm Trilogy in one BCE Harback. Please note this is the only release of these titles in hardback, as the mass market release for all three title was done in PB only. Includes - The Joiner King, The Unseen Queen, and The Swarm War             The Rising Force (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 1)124 reviews Dave Wolverton Scholastic Inc., 1999 A beyond great start to the JA series! + A Good start for the jedi apprentice + Nate's Rview + A great introduction to two of the best Star Wars characters + Easy Reading             The Courtship of Princess Leia (Star Wars)219 reviews Dave Wolverton Spectra, 1995 Leia in love, Han to the rescue Mr. Wolverton's book continues the pursuit of Warlord Zinsj but ties the tale in with Han's courtship of Leia and Leia's apparent admiration for another suitor. At the beginning of the book, General Solo returns from a five-month campaign against Zinsj and believes that he has won a major victory. ...             Shadows of the Empire (Star Wars)342 reviews Steve Perry Spectra, 1997 Great Star Wars book. Fills the gaps between 5 and 6. + A MUST HAVE FOR STAR WARS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + Best Stand Alone Star Wars Book + A title worthy of the Star Wars name             Children of the Jedi (Star Wars)176 reviews Barbara Hambly Spectra, 1996 Coffee cups?? An already mediocre book in which the author places "coffee cups" in the Millennium Falcon. The author appears to have been simply cashing in on the book deal without any real understanding of the Star Wars universe. She could have called them anything else, and this reader would not have wanted ...             Vector Prime (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 1)419 reviews R.A. Salvatore Del Rey, 2000 Ignorance... + Great for first book + One of the better in the series + No one here gets out alive             Star Wars: The Approaching Storm86 reviews Alan Dean Foster Del Rey, 2003 The Approaching Storm I liked this book although it was hard to follow at times. While reading more about Obi-Wan was good, I had a hard time really getting into Luminara's character. Bariss was a good character, yet there needs to be more about her. If you want to read Star Wars in order, this a good read!             Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)377 reviews Timothy Zahn Spectra, 1992 Almost the first Expanded Universe Novel! + Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi + Good Surprise That is if you don't count Splinter of the Mind's Eye, or the Han trilogy, or Lando trilogy. This is a great series and could easily be credited with keeping the Star Wars series in the general populace's eye during the late eighties and early nineties. With no new films to date Star Wars was ...             Betrayal (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 1)92 reviews Aaron Allston Del Rey, 2006 A New Chapter Begins Being a geeky Star Wars fan, there's a couple of things I'll always envy about its universe: I'll never be able to wield a (real) lightsaber. I'll never be able to use the force (everyone's tried once, right?) And, new to the list - I'll never be able to outwit assassins and go on space adventures ...             Survivor's Quest (Star Wars)70 reviews Timothy Zahn Del Rey, 2004 Best SW book since ages! + great star wars whodunnit + Don't believe the critics. . . Survivor's quest takes place about 3 years after the Thrawn duology, which unfortunately was Zahn's worst work to date. Still, knowing the excellent Thrawn trilogy (which started ALL the flow of new Star Wars books), I decided to give this novel a chance. I'm no native English speaker, but I ...             The Crystal Star (Star Wars (Random House Paperback))170 reviews Vonda Mcintyre Spectra, 1995 For mature thoughtful readers + SW Book for Lit Fans As I read some of the reviews for this book I just couldn't resist having a reaction. This is the one book that I keep recalling in my mind about once every few months. I enjoyed the fact that the kids were the main characters, for multiple reasons: they to some degree come to age in this book ...             Dark Empire I (Star Wars)73 reviews Tom Veitch, Cam Kennedy Dark Horse, 2003 I love this book. Dark Empire has an amazing unique look to it. The story is great, happening right after Return of The Jedi and the Thrawn books. Definitely worth reading.             Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (Star Wars)142 reviews James Luceno Del Rey, 2006 The best Star wars book I've read so far + Good book. I'd recommend picking it up. I loved this book it was really well done and gave me what I was longing to know about Anakin/Vader. At the end of episode three I remember wondering how Anakin dealt with his new suit and the lack for compassion he was suppose to have. I wanted to know if the good part of him continued to fight ...             Before the Storm (Star Wars: The Black Fleet Crisis, Book 1)86 reviews Michael P. Kube-Mcdowell Spectra, 1996 Good satr wars book but drawn out I like descriptions of the vehicles. Some new ones that I never heard of. I like hearing and reading about stuff I never saw in the movies. Some nice new characters too, Like Genaral A'baht and Kiles L'toth.There were also main characters from the the original Star Wars movies. I like when the ...             Star Wars: Allegiance65 reviews Timothy Zahn Del Rey, 2007 Great read + Different Twist + Good book + For Folks Who Like Stormtroopers + Zahn's back doing what we love best             The New Rebellion (Star Wars)110 reviews Kristine Kathryn Rusch Spectra, 1997 Without a doubt, one of the best of the expanded universe!!! + This is good.
