Sounds interesting, although the name Shadowspawn is terrible.

dangit, we gotta wait a whole year for it. i can't wait.

[TheUnknown 39]

I need several years. My reading list is already long enough:

last three NJO books

Dark Nest triology

start the LotF series

Republic Commando books

And that's just SW books.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

you are behind. for shame. :p

[Mara 29]

Indeed.

I used to be so behind... I had starting at the beginning chronologically... when the NJO was half over already, lol. But I caught up.

And I think the title of the book is horrible too, lol. Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. Sounds like a kiddie book.

I didn't even notice notice that, but you're right. It sounds like a title from the Lando Calrissian books.

[Mara 29]

Uh huh. If they had stayed with Shadows of Mindor it might be a bit better.

Do they need to tell us in the title who the book is about?

That's what cover art is for.

I'm very behind these days lol.

The other day I was in one of the local videogames shops and I saw a Star Wars game I'd never heard of. I was so ashamed. :p

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor? Sounds like a 50's beat group.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

well, with Stover, the writing should be much better than the title :p

I was a late comer to the NJO, too. I started sometime between when Rebel Stand and Traitor came out.

[Andy 52]

I actually accidently found Vector Prime right at the beginning of the series... Without realising it was the start of a series. lol

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

same here. i was shocked to see the next two at the bookstore after i read VP.

[Mara 29]

I was halfway through Heir to the Empire before I realized there was a whole slew of EU books.

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor

How have we not been discussing an upcoming Matthew Stover novel?

[Mara 29]

I totally thought there was a thread already...

Anyway.... I've got a copy on hold from the library.. should have it soons. :D

[Uncle Du 22]

Of course I hadn't heard of this one too. Released yet?

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

*shockgasp* how did i miss this book coming out? *reserves at library*

[Chickenman 9]

I didn't see a thread for it, anyway, lol.

Apparently it either comes out on the 30th, the 1st, or, I dunno, let's say...Armageddon? (May 12th, for the unwashed masses)

But yeah...looks like fun.

[Mara 29]

I think I thought there was one because I was gonna post one and then forgot.

Anyway, yes... it looks good.

I have been waiting for this one.

[Chickenman 9]

Apparently it's Matthew Stover's ode to the old Han Solo novellas. Han Solo at Star's End and such.

[Mara 29]

Haven't read those yet, lol.

I just want a good old-fashioned Luke adventure, before all the weird stuff happens. :p

[Chickenman 9]

I haven't read them myself, but they appear to be good, old fashioned, and, if I may, a bit adventurey.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

Star's End was good. very adventurey.

[TheUnknown 39]

I merged Chicken's thread with the existing Shadows of Mindor thread.
