Rating: Summary: Nothing new. Review: Ever wish that star wars would come up with a new idea instead of the old cliche? I have read lots of Science fiction books and I can't quit understand why people keep buying the books. Nothing new. The same old formula. ts-ts-ts. Sad.
Rating: Summary: BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: When I started Darksaber, I expected something that, if not wonderful, at least told a passable story! This was not even close to being passable! If it had half a plot it would be half deccent! The horrors of this book go on and on, but I will only list a few of them. 1)The superweapon that short-circuts. 2)Daala the destructible, who goes after the Jedi academy.(I mean come on! If you have superstar destroyer, why not go after Kuat, or Coruscant!)3) as another rewiewer put it, "The incredible dying man" 4)The myriad pointless things Luke and Callista did.(The inteligent wampas who create a masacre of pointless characters, the bat-thing on Dagoba, the stupid comet (comets are not nearly large enough for resorts or mining. Most are the size of houses.) 5)The complete and total buchering of Callista's character.(Similar to what hapened to Mara Jade in the Jedi Academy Series) 6)Introducing new and slightly intresting charachters, and proceding to kill them off. 6) Turning Leia into a simpering politician, and 7) killing Dorsk 81, after showing us more about his history than is normal for a doomed character.If I didn't know better I would almost think that KJA was TRYING to write a bad story, as well as lose Luke another girlfriend (ie. Mara Jade in his other books.) This man should not ever be alowed to write again, as he obviously has the idea that a SW book should be silly and stupid, as well as pointles and bazar. This is the worst SW book I have ever read, with the possible exception of the Black Fleet Crisis. Anderson should be put in a cage and droped from the Belly of a plane
Rating: Summary: WAKE UP!! Review: You people need to wake up. Kevin J. Anderson is one of the best of the Star Wars authors. Enough said.
Rating: Summary: Kevin Anderson Strikes again Review: I could not put this book down. Having read most of all the other Star Wars books in the collection, I found this book spellbinding from start to finish. A great continuation of the Star Wars saga. A must read.
Rating: Summary: book description Review: this was a pretty good book. It was the first one I ever read, and Iloved it. When Luke and Han return home, they discover that the hutts are constructing a 3rd Death Star. Can they destroy it before it's complete?
Rating: Summary: one of the best star wars stories i have ever read Review: I think that darksaber ranks easily with zahn's heir to the empire trilogy which are the best star wars books ever.
Rating: Summary: An excellent Star Wars novel Review: Anderson, one of the best Star Wars writers, has performed an excellent job in writing this book. I would recommend this book for any Star Wars fan, whether they like Jedis, space battles, anything - it's there. If I could, I'd rank this story 4 1/2 stars. The reason I am not giving it the full 5 is because after reading the thing I found the ending a bit crappy.
Rating: Summary: This is the BEST Star Wars Book that I've read, so far! Review: Fantastic, leaves you in suspence, never has a dry moment
Rating: Summary: Well... Review: Okay, the whole death Star thing is getting just a LITTLE old, don't you think? What was up with the whole callista/Mara conversation, Anderson? He could have done much better. Poor Luke, GIVE HIM A COMPANION! he deserves it! I never really liked Callista's character, now I REALLY don't like her!
Rating: Summary: Okay; certianly nothing to set the world on fire... Review: Darksaber was an alright book, but if you plan to buy it, be prepared for a bad ending. Anderson did better on this book than he did on the Jedi Acadamy Trilogy, but he tended to abuse the characters a lot. It had a plot that was not interesting enough to implant itself in my memory; after only a few months I have forgotten all but the most important parts of the story. If you do decide to buy Darksaber, remember, it's not the only Star Wars book out there.
