Ok, so everyones knows, I havent read that many EU books, mainly cause I dont know where to start but here's what I got:

The Approaching storm
X wing: Solo Command
NJO - Edge of Victory 1 - Conquest
Tales from the New Republic
NJO - Agents of Chaos 1 - Hero's trial
NJO - Vector Prime
and last but not least..
I, Jedi

Which of these are good, bad and where should i start? Or should i go buy a new book?

Thanks in advance.

X-Wing Solo Command wasn't all that great IMO. I'd recomend you start with the first X-Wing books, Rouge Squadron, Wedges Gamble, Kroytos trap and Bacta War. The NJO books are good too and you may want to start with Vector prime and do the series from there.

Well what's the first NJO book with Luke and all? I am not sure, but you should start with that? However, since you might know all the spoilers in all the books, maybe you should go to LOTF

Shatterpoint

My first novel was Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse - not a great place to startstick out tongue then my second was Splinter of the Minds Eye, but reading everything ass-backwards was great fun because i was reunited with characters that died years agolaughing out loud

Approaching Storm is pretty good, a lot of the Young Jedi Knights series is very good, the Yuzhan Vong storyline is awesome

look up the info under the pic, and it tells you what novel precedes or follows 'Path of Destruction' which i found pretty usefulwink But this also includes the Scholastic range of novels too

I've been reading Approaching Storm for 2 months now and it's a load of s**t! it's one of the worst ones... so glad Alan Dean Foster only wrote two SW books - that i know of at any rate... - anyway, i'd say either starts with LotF is u pretty much know wots going on or NJO... apart from the Thrawn tril and and Academy tril there's not a lot of decent stuff in the bantam press era

read the unfying force, luke didnt move around 20 lightsabers at all, jacen only said he might as well hold 20 because he is moving so fast with them.

And get DE series, its awesome, try your best to get the DE II reprint, it comes with empires end as well, damm DE maked vader sound very powerful

Darth Subjekt

Darth Subjekt

Darksaber. It's good as a standalone because there's tons of action and you don't need to be drawn into a 3 or 9 book series after reading it.

If you're planning on a trilogy or any other series longer than one book you definitely need to start with Heir to the Empire and the two that follow it. For me, it's a no-brainer...

Unless you're like 15, then you'll probably like all the NJO crap. I mean stuff.

Dessel
Dude, don't waste your money on them. Just download them from demonoid.com .

Darth Subjekt
wow, didn't know you could do that. I've been trying to get it off like limewire, but to no avail.

and no DS, lol, i haven't been 15 for almost 12 years now. I just heard people praise Shatterpoint, and LOE, and I've read a few pages of the ROTS novel and liked the extra detail, so i was curious...


but thanks for the tip Dessel.
