The irony of words

Only a few days ago I reviewed the previous book in the series and praised Jude Watson for her ability to have kept the series alive without it going stale. Now we come to “The Only Witness” and I...

When Bond girls and Bond villains produce offspring…

Well, the final instalment of this 3 part mini-series reaches its climax and it was well worth the wait. I don’t like to harp on about it because I don’t want people to think that I’ve got some sort...

Trust the attractive young blonde

OK first of all I found it difficult to accept how two Jedi Knights who, In Episode I, managed to navigate their way through the core of a planet using the Force had such difficulty tracking a human...

Who done it Mr Poirot?

After years of trying, I finally managed to get my hands on the last handful of these now quite rare books in the Jedi Apprentice series. Why they are not still being published is still beyond me...

Dull but good gap bridging

Having read, and very much enjoyed, Karen Traviss’ novelisation of the Clone Wars film I was eagerly anticipating her latest addition to this mini saga. However, I sadly felt this book lacked the...

Good bedtime reading

I don’t quite know how to describe this book. Although it was a mildly entertaining read, I felt it was a very weak end to what started out as a very good series. It was one of those books that I...

Wow, that's convenient Mr Luceno

I was eagerly anticipating this book. Not only is James Luceno one of my favourite authors but he was writing a book based on one of the most iconic machines of the 20th century: The Millennium...

When I first read the synopsis for this book, to say I was sceptical would be a huge understatement. For a while now I’ve felt that the brains at the Lucas Empire have been scraping the barrel of...

What? This is just bizarre

Having read a number of reviews, this book appears to be the marmite of the Star Wars universe; you either love it or hate it. Personally I thought it was absolute garbage. Firstly I’m not a fan of...

A good recovery

Well after reading the tripe that was Firefight I was hoping for a better effort from this book and I was not disappointed. Although it felt a little bit rushed in places – which I guess is to be...

Scooby-Doo with a Lightsaber

I had amazing trouble trying to come up with a review for this book. Because it is a young reader’s novel it only took about 2 minutes to read and when I finished I felt… well… rather bereft of an...

Imperial Yawn

Prior to reading this book I heard that the upcoming sequel had been cancelled and Karen Traviss would be writing no more novels for the Star Wars universe. Needless to say it perked my interest...

Wild space and wildly wide of the mark

They say with food that the first bite is with the eye. If the same rule applied with books I would have spit this out after the first paragraph. The opening drivel in that first block of text left me...

Is it wrong that I fancy Ahsoka?

Karen Traviss, the Queen of the Clones herself, brings us the novelization of The Clone Wars animated film. Now this novel is only based on the film and, although the story line is the same, the...
