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.
