In My Own Words:
I am a mouse jockey in a cube all day when not participating on my interests (especially the general goof part).

I hope my reviews help and claim no skill at being a critic. Some books I find difficult for a thorough analysis and aren't given the detail as other reviews. Rating books from 1 to 5 is a bit restrictive, possibly 0 to 10 would be better. Unlike others who might adjust (and admit i… Read more

Interests
I enjoy fantasy and science fiction. Bollywood films, lifting weights, reading, collecting comic books, and being a general goof.

Vision of the Future: Star Wars (The Hand of Thraw&hellip by Timothy Zahn
Vision of the Future: Star Wars (The Hand of Thrawn) by Timothy Zahn
"Vision of the Future" is the final second novel in The Hand of Thrawn series approximately ten years following The Thrawn Trilogy. It concludes the story in the tradition of creativity and intrigue from the prior novels.

Although the preceding novel has more political developments dominating the storyline, this book returns to creative battles and stunning revelations. The Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker duo along with Major Tierce and Admiral Pellaeon sections of the storyline are interesting. In addition, the use of High Councilor Leia Organa Solo's Jedi skill is exciting.

While not as rich in cultural developments, character favorites continue to risk their lives in the conflicts of New Republic versus Empire. In addition, a select few in the Empire pull a fascinating con on the… Read more

The Last Command: Star Wars (The Thrawn Trilogy): &hellip by Timothy Zahn
The Last Command: Star Wars (The Thrawn Trilogy): Volume 3 by Timothy Zahn
"The Last Command" is the third and final novel in The Thrawn Trilogy approximately five years following "Return of the Jedi". The originality and creativity in the series is deep, filled with strange creatures and compelling heroes and villains.

Grand Admiral Thrawn is an ingenious, calculating and efficient villain, someone the New Republic should fear. The creative ways he uses items at his disposal are amazing. Although he is with the Empire, his charisma and composure has me cheering to succeed whenever engaged in combat. Conversely, the spontaneous ravings of insane Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth form a scary image compared with the serene Emperor. Smuggler Talon Karrde reminds me… Read more
