My first novel review for NJOE was Aaron Allston’s Outcast, the first entry in the Fate of the Jedi series.  It is only fitting that my first novel review for 2010 be Aaron Allston’s newest installment into the series.    Backlash keeps its story very straight forward, bouncing back between Dathomir and Coruscant.  New characters are introduced [...]

After a long, long wait, Backlash is finally here. I wasn’t sold on Outcast - I enjoyed it well enough, but I didn’t think it was great. I’ve often said Fate of the Jedi didn’t really start for me until Omen, and Abyss is one of my favorite Star Wars books ever. But Backlash proved [...]

I’ve been wanting to read City of Souls since I first received it back in the early fall, but the timing was just never right. I’m not a big fan of Urban Fantasy – or at least, for the most part those books don’t generally appeal to me – but this one was different. Superheroes, [...]

The Official Site has added a look at the back cover to Allies featuring everyone’s favorite gambler, Lando Calrissian!!

I’ve reviewed three previous volumes of these digests of stories from The Clone Wars, two of which were excellent, and one of which I found lacking. After the last two did such a great job of convincing me this series could be something really fun – I was hopeful Colossus of Destiny would continue that [...]

Having recently finished a violent battle on the Separatist-controlled planet Kothlis, Obi-Wan Kenobi receives word from a trusted source that a remote planet, Lanteeb, is under Separatist control for an unknown reason.  However, he and the few other people who know of the news soon come to realize there is only one logical explanation for [...]
