Julie
Yeah I know it's too early to be thinking about this book, but it is schedules to release this year I think......are you all going to buy it? Happy Dance

LanceWindu
I will, if the price is right that is.

Julie
I might buy it now along with Tatooine Ghost...that way I can get free shipping from Amazon....yeahhh...free is definately good.
$18. something isn't bad for a hardcover book either

LanceWindu
Not at all.

But the good bookstores here that will definately have it are going to most likely charge the regular $25.

Julie
My dad ordered it for me....so I'll get it when it releases....BTE Tatooine Ghost already came...yeahh

LanceWindu
I know, I got it the day it came out.

Volundro Ramm
anyone read Tatooine Ghost yet? is it any good?

LanceWindu
I'm 15 chapters in.

It's good so far.

It's interesting how the OT meets the PT in it.

Julie
Wouldn't it be better it they waited through epIII for bridge novels?

GordonSkywalker
Is Shatterpoint the one about Master Windu?`

LanceWindu
Yes I believe so.

GordonSkywalker
It is a bit difficult keeping track of these things.

Julie
well....when we get them...we'll be happy enough

GordonSkywalker
A book about Mace Windu sounds fascinating!

Julie
fascinating....ah but will I get a chance to read it...I've got a backlog of star wars books

GordonSkywalker
I'm sure you'll catch up. Personally I like Mace Windu- he's the epitome of jedi coolness. Shatterpoint could be a real winner! Happy Dance

Julie
he's alright...not my favorite character, but the story should be really good.....still it's a star wars book

Captain REX
Picked it up and read it at the book store...WOW! It looks pretty good to me. smile

Rogue Jedi
in the new jedi order, does the timeline order go from "destinys way" to "shatterpoint?"

LanceWindu
No, no, no.

Shatterpoint is based 6 months after Episode 2, the book right after Destiny's Way is Force Heretic I: Remnant.

BTW I read Shatterpoint last week.

Awesome book, it's dark and gruesome and it brings Depa Billaba into a whole new light.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Rogue Jedi
thanx, lance....you da man!!!!!

LanceWindu
Not a problem.

Dexx
i read the first few pages in a book store today. what can i say...i really liked it. maybe i'll buy it.

Captain REX
Depa Billaba nailing people's mouths shut with thorns...

Can't get any more descriptive and gruesome in a Star Wars story than that. big grin

Julie
it was a decent book.....not the most exciting of star wars books, but it was certianly a good read. Stover's not my fav author

Julie
has anyone else read this book.......tell me!...tell me.....uh but there are better star wars books out there so if you are short on money....I recommend go to other books and games first

yerssot
I'm currently reading it jules; get back on you in three months

Captain REX
Three months? How come I can finish books in a week or two?

Dexx
well..it's yerss we're talking about. a week or two is the normal time for the rest..

yerssot
I'm currently bogged down in both OL and RL problems, combined with uni coming up, making it quite difficult to read a lot in a day

Captain REX
Oh, right...

Julie
Three months....yikes.....I try to read a bit more often than that....but hey yerssot as long as you like it when you read that's all that counts

yerssot
yeah, I'm around chapter 3 now smile

and I like it smile currently a tad strange to have mace in the leadrol though

Julie
yes it's a decent book but strange at times....good action though

yerssot
teehee! can't wait smile

Julie
definite gore involved...so are you faint of heart???? big grin

yerssot
oh no... I like gore wink

Volundro Ramm
I purchased "Shatterpoint" a good few months ago. I havent read it yet, but i will once im up to date with the NJO books. Ive been slacking of late(female attention...wearing me out, no time for reading), ive only just started Force heretic 1. But considering how good a book "Traitor" was, im definatly looking forward to reading "Shatterpoint". I prefer the dark and gory to the pop tart authors. Stovers way of writing is infectious.

yerssot
still not much time, though did read two pages yesterday

LanceWindu
Woo Hoo 2 pages!!

yerssot
just finished reading till chapter 5 *proud*

LanceWindu
Keep it up yerss!

yerssot
almost reaching chapter 6 smile

Julie
wahoo.....there are only 20 something chapters right...so you're moving right along

Dexx
*sigh* i bought it today...40 CADs..bloody expensive! mad

LanceWindu
I'm glad I didn't buy it, money's tight with me.

But I did read it, once the price goes down I'll eventually buy it.

The most I've spent on SW books at one time was $50+ For only 3 books!

Dexx
oh...i bough NJOs alst year value of 100 CAD mad stupid me..oh well....
The damn thing is that shatterpoint is only in that big hard cover edition. There should be a normal $6 or $7edition

LanceWindu
There will be in a few months I believe.

All HC eventually get PB editions as well.

yerssot
our be hyperspace member and you could have gotten vector prime free now

Dexx
i have vector prime

yerssot
"our" should be "or" obviously ...

you disliked that one dexx?

Dexx
no...i don't dislike any njo i've read....i just don't like them that much either. like i liked shadow hunter, and like i now like shatterpoint

LanceWindu
I want to be a Hyperspace member!!!

I need Vector Prime!

Volundro Ramm
Ya'll a bunch of cheapskates. Get a job, buy the damn books! Or steal em.

LanceWindu
I'm lazy

yerssot
hmm, reached part 2 in shatterpoint smile

LanceWindu
Good!

yerssot
yeah, he finally met depa!

LanceWindu
You're going to be surprised from now on yerss.

yerssot
I'll take your word for it for now wink

LanceWindu
Good.

Julie
SOOOOO...how's the reading coming all????

yerssot
ah, finished it last week actually smile

nice, had some nice twists in it, but not the best around though

Captain REX
Yay! Good job Yerss! big grin

I want to read it, but I'm broke right now...

yerssot
well, not that much needed to read it

Captain REX
*shrug*

yerssot
just helping sad

Captain REX
So does Depa Billaba eventually come back?

yerssot
that would kinda ruin the story rex

Captain REX
That's what I thought you'd say...

yerssot
then don't ask next time

Captain REX
I won't. stick out tongue

yerssot
so, start reading!

Dexx
bumpin' this....
i have about 50 more pages left of it.......it's kind of..ergh...this expresses it best: 'erm'

i'm not saying it's bad (in fact i like it)...but it's a little..weird.....

yerssot
yeah, weird and strange smile

Julie
yes a lovely story....a bit greusome at times...but overall a good read....Stover's not my kind of author...but he's still good
