I just finished Darth Bane: Rule of Two, and It was an ok book.  Not as good as the first one in the series, but there just seemed to be WAY too much emphasis placed on some miraculous things Bane could do with the Dark Side.  Kind of like watching a movie that is just WAY too unbelievable.  Still it wasn't bad.  I kinda hope they do a 3rd one to round it all out.

I started Vector Prime last night.  I really want to get caught up on the SW Universe, so I'm starting there and going all the way up to present.  However, I WILL have to make an exception when Deathtroopers comes out later this month!

There is a 3rd Bane book already coming, a few months away I believe.
Been reading lots of SW fanfic stories.... downloadable from theforce.net or just readable from there.
Some are much better than others, but need something to occupy me until real stuff is released.

"One Second After" by William Forstchen.  Recently published novel about how a small town in North Carolina handles life after the USA being hit by 3-ish exo-atmospheric nuclear detonations.

Denial runs strong early on.  Seriously, if I were on my cell-phone talking to an old friend/former CO who is now at the Pentagon and hear background noises including yelling/screaming/arguing and the General says, "Something just came up, I gotta go-" and the call drops *AND* the cell phone goes dead *AND* the electricity to the house dies ALL AT THE SAME TIME, I'm NOT gonna be hoping things get better tomorrow.  Hell no.  I won't even bother checking to see if the land-line is working.  At that point, EVERYONE puts on a gun ALL THE TIME, trees get dropped across the road, etc etc.  Because, my friends, at that point, the shit has indeed hit the fan and we are ALL downwind...

Thankfully, it is just a work of fiction.


For now.

I am currently reading the new "Eve Online" book... I can't remember the full name atm.. it's in my "reading Chamber" :P

So far it's not so bad, but I'm eager to get my good used copy of Order 66 so I can finish up my RC series.

Finished Vector Prime.  Man, what a downer!  Not a huge fan of that author, R.A. Salvadore.  Too many sentence fragments for my liking, too many commas.  The story was good, but for those of you who haven't read it, I won't spoil it.  Suffice it to say, someone dies who shouldn't!

I'm debating on going to the library to get the next in the series, or wait for Deathtroopers...

If that was the book with the planet Sernpidal in it, that is one I will very seldom re-read.
I believe I threw my hardcover copy of the book and didnt touch it or read it for atleast 3 hours.... pretty upset.
And I love to read just about anything, so that means something.

I read the Clone Wars Adventures books, Volumes 6 & 9, which I got from my local library.  I also started a comic book named, "Evolution of a Clone", chronicling the adventures of a clone trooper from Phase 1 Seargent to Imperial Admiral

I am almost halfway through with Death Troopers now.
Not the best book I have ever read, but definitely the best read this month.
So far I would say it is worth a read.
And there are a few mainstream SW characters making cameo appearances.
I dont want to ruin it, but had to give a little teaser/spoiler.
I will only name drop if asked to, I hate it when someone ruins a book by giving the whole story away.
But if you didnt already know, it is a SW story with zombie like creatures.
Check out the Zombieweek pics at starwars.com for a little more about this if interested.

Well, I finished the book last night before the MondayNight Football game was over.
I did like it, and after a little searching online, I found out it does tie in to a few other obscure things.
Or things that are obscure to me.
I am not really big into online games... I would like to be... but I probably would not have a family or home if I got into them too much.
But there is a bit in a game called StarWarsGalaxies played online that goes along with the book.
And lots of other stuff on starwars.com for promoting this book.
I like horror books to a point, and zombie movies rock.... so to me this was a good pairing.

I started the approaching storm.  It's a great book so far with tons of adjectives.
