Diego Varen Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 What is your Favourite EU Books. I haven't read many, but the one that stands out for me is Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. It is written by Michael Reaves and it gives us a look at Maul's life and it has a great plot. Here's the Book Cover. Here is a Summary. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Galactic Republic to its knees. He meets secretly with his Neimoidian contacts in the Trade Federation to plan the blockade of the planet Naboo. But one member of the delegation is missing, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor, Hath Monchar down. However, when Darth Maul managed to kill the Neimoidian on Coruscant, the information about the Sith Holocron containing information on the Naboo Blockade had reached the ears of an information broker, Lorn Pavan. Following his master's orders, he set immediately sets out to kill Lorn and his robot, I-Five. While saving himself from the Sith Lord, he meets up with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan who was on her mission to earn her Knighthood. Together, they must try to save both the Republic and themselves from the Sith, whom is hot on their trail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So what is your Favourite? Sorry if there was already a Thread on this.
DarthSion101 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 hmmmmmmmmm......I'm gonna have to go with Vector Prime from the New Jedi Order series. Why? because it is dark, it shows alot of suffering, especially on the part of the vaunted heroes. Not to mention the best part of all........The useless flea bitten wookie Chewbacca is finally put out of my misery.
woogiee Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Well, seeing as how Ive only managed to read 4 EU books so far, Shadow Hunter and the Bounty Hunter series, Id say Shadow Hunter. I really need to read more EU books...
milo Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I haven't read much, but my favs are: The New Rebellion: Kristine Kathryn Rusch The Courtship of Princess Leia: Dave Wolverton Tales of Bounty Hunters: various authors anything by Kevin J. Anderson
MachineCult Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Shatterpoint, definitely my favourite EU Novel, much darker and gorier than any other SW book i've read, couldn't put it down, If you like Mace Windu and haven't read it, read it!
Rogue Nine Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Not to mention the best part of all........The useless flea bitten wookie Chewbacca is finally put out of my misery. I ought to ban you. I have to echo the love for Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, as it's one of the best SW novels I've ever read. Excellent characterization, an intriguing plot, likeable protagonists and, of course, one of the most sinister baddies in literary and movie history, Darth Maul. Superb read. I'm a big fan of the X-wing series of novels, if you couldn't tell already by my username. My favorite out of all of them is the very last book in the series, Starfighters of Adumar, by Aaron Allston. Utterly hilarious. I'd recommend it to anyone, even if you're not a big fan of the series. It's great just by itself.
The Doctor Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Sorry DarthSion101, but I've lost all respect for you Chewbacca pwns all. I liked the Thrawn Trilogy, but that's about it. The post RotJ EU just does nothing for me, really.
Boba Rhett Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I used to like the Thrawn trilogy but knowadays I feel required to hate all EU books.
RC-1162 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 hehe, so does Sabre. my favourite was Jedi Trial. its a clone wars novel so it has a lot of action.
Diego Varen Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 hehe, so does Sabre. my favourite was Jedi Trial. its a clone wars novel so it has a lot of action. I've got Jedi Trial on my Birthday this year. I've only read three Chapters of it.
RC-1162 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 its really cool. it tells about how the Clone forces and their helpers still don't lose face in the case of overwhelming odds.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is also one of my favourite Star Wars novels. It has a great plot and is quite entertaining to read. And it involves one of my favourite characters.
Niner_777 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 My favorite EU book was Hard Contact easily. I haven't read Triple Zero yet. I hear that its good too.
Ztalker Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I realy loved the Thrawn trilogy too. It was interesting to see how the new Republic is being build up, and how Luke struggles with his Jedi-training. It's also the story in wich Mara Jade appears for the first time...
HerbieZ Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I loved the dark forces trilogy of books, it put me in a trance. Only books i have ever read and wanted to keep reading.
Darth InSidious Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I used to like the Thrawn trilogy but knowadays I feel required to hate all EU books. The Thrawn trilogy can't be EU - without them there wouldn't be an EU. And things don't create themselves.
Niner_777 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Another good book that was already mentioned is Jedi Trial. I liked it. I thought that it had a good enough plot.
RC-1162 Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 heh, no wonder you chose Praesitlyn as your RP battleground
