Slowpokeking Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The new TOR novel Annihilation is not very well written, especially if you are a Empire fan. Do you have Dark Plagueis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerek Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 nope only episode 1-3 based novel i have is Rogue planet by greg bear. not one of the best eu novels i have read but does tie in nicely to one of the later books in the new jedo order series.would you recommend the darth plaegius books then?

Beniboybling Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I would strongly recommend Darth Plagueis, its gives a back story to Episode 1 and to Darth Sidious - very engaging. Annihilation is also very good as well, better than Revan IMO. And the Darth Bane trilogy I am just starting, so far so good. Everyone says its awesome and Drew's best work so I'd strongly recommend that as well. Revan is well worth a read too, especially seeing as you play SWTOR.

Annihilation is awful for Empire fan, and the plot is too similar to Lost Sun, characterization is meh, especially Darth Gravus got ruined.

Happy Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it is a republic propaganda pamphlet but people have to understand that in star wars the good guys win in the end. I can't comment on Lost Sun but if you haven't read if and don't plan to there's no problem. As for Gravus - ruined is the wrong word. I'll leave spoilers out of it. And I never liked the guy anyway, damn his cocky apprentice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieralis Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You say you have every novel up to the end of NJO? Well obviously the next step should be all the ones that come after The earlier timeframes ones are all great, but most of them are stand alone or chronology fillers. The Post NJO keep the story going forward. The Darknest Trilogy, Legacy of the Force series, and Fate of the Jedi series pick up with the post-Yuuzhan Vong situation. Boom, 21 book recommend!

Jerek Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 after checking the bibliography it turns out i am quite a few Novels short of having everything up to NJO, but i have quite a large park of my shelves taken up my my star wars novel collection. got the Boba Fett Trilogy and the Black fleet crisis. i have to admit i found that series very hard to hold my interest. but it was quite a number of years back so, i'll give it another try some time.. i'll have a look at the other that have been recommended here, plus i need to buy Aaron Allstone new Wraith Squadron novel. i'm realy hoping the humour is still there...
