Un-dead or brain-dead?

I didn’t quite know what to make of this book. Despite believing that Star Wars and Zombies goes together about as well as re-mastering and Greedo shooting first, I grudgingly had to admit that Death...

Leave mother out of it

Once again Paul Kemp produces some good work. His writing style is very fluid and easy to read. The way he breaks the chapters up into short film-style scenes helps keeps the book a bit more exciting...

The difficult follow-up album

Paul Kemp’s first Star Wars novel, Crosscurrent, was a pleasant surprise and possibly one of the best Star Wars books I’ve read in some time. So it was with mixed feelings I picked up his second...

Original but know when to end

My first thought when I heard about this book was “how much of a plot can you have in a story like this?” Quite a lot as it turns out. Firstly, it was nice to read something original. The whole force...

Unleashing the force again

Having been somewhat disappointed with Williams’ Fatal Alliance, I was hoping for a return to form with this book. The first Force Unleashed was a pretty good read, even though I’m personally not a...

Fatal reading

I think the best way to describe this book is as follows: Te egy idióta, ha megpróbálta lefordítani ezt. Did you understand a word of that? No me neither and therein lies the problem with this...

Fine young cannibals

While this book provided the usual excitement and adventure in the captivating writing style of John Whitman, I still found myself getting annoyed. This is mainly because I don’t like the idea of the...

I think we're a clone now

I was eagerly anticipating this book, mainly because I was intrigued to see how John Whitman handled the subject of clones (bear in mind that this was written before any of the prequels came out). ...

Theory of relative probability

The 10th book in the Galaxy of Fear series was a sort of 2001 A Space Odyssey meets I, Robot meets Star Wars. That’s about all you need to know really. It’s hard to think of anything else to say...

Putting the Spore into sporadic

It’s difficult to know what to say about this book to be honest. It is just like all the others; it read like a kids TV mini series, the main characters find themselves in mortal danger but emerge...

Charles Darwin would be proud

I got the impression when reading this book that someone reminded John Whitman that these are young reader’s books and should be educational because there were a number of times in the early chapters...

Internet chat rooms can be dangerous, even for a Jedi

Basically the synopsis for this book is 13 year old Tash meets someone on an Internet - sorry, HoloNet - chat room and he lures her to his discreet hideout where he plans to do unspeakable things with...

Predictably entertaining and enjoyable

I am aware that I have heaped praise on all the books in this series so far. I have also rated them all 4 stars. In other words I am very boring and predictable. So I thought I'd start this review by...

Should have stopoped at six

The Galaxy of Fear series has been one of the biggest surprises for me. I assumed the reason I’d never heard about these books was because they were hideously unpopular. Sure, being a young reader’s...

Is this a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

One of my biggest complaints with the prequels was the lack of depth in Anakin’s turn to the dark side. In Episode III it was a case of “Oh my god I’ve taken Mace Windu’s hand off… Okay I’ll be evil...
