501st imperial commando a star wars timeline novel set in the early weeks of the change over from the decadent galactic republic with its jedi corrupted petty tyrants to the glorious new age of our saviour galactic emperor it tells the story if story is the word of clone troopers who become " believe everything you hear on the news" palpatine loyalists engaged in a COPS style hunting down of jedi, usual nods to familiar franchise scenarios and familiar franchise charactors however no one gets a chance to smoke yodas arse much as they would like to ie the often repeated stormtrooper tales of where were you when you first heard order 66 the best bit is when the stormtroopers explosively dispose of a holed up jedi who turns out to be a opportunisitic thief of jedi equipment -" geez what kind of moron waves a light sabre around in times like these "
given the canon timeline and that most novels exist around the events of episodes 1-6 what happened to non canon novels ie 1977-1980 when anakin skywalker and vader were two different people, emperor palpatine merely a corrupt caesarian polititian and the clone wars just a name without a plot- true of the star wars franchise novels really
Ancestor scott sigler set in guess where a icebound research station with an experiment on the loose herethe creation of bovine carnosaur hybrid lots of crunch and gore as the charactors are bitten off one one by the rather too much like 1980s movie gremlins monsters the date and time chapter headings only showing how slow the novel really is sigler has publicity video of the novel like film trailer on website worth a look as it totally encapsulates the novel
kingdom of ohio matthew flaming a grand idea for a first novel the story of a lost princess from an alternative america lost in 1901 new york lots of footnotes mainly pseudosource asides on time travel experiments by tesla and edison and the opening of croatan portals to other worlds a first novel but don't do it again !!
