Book Reviews of Tatooine Ghost (Star Wars)

Book Review: A big uplift after the NJO stuff
Summary: 4 Stars

To me the NJO ended the timeline for me at SBS. Then we started getting the prequel trilogy books, and man, what a tremendous job they are doing those books, interfacing the movies with books and comics. Then along comes this book, a new addition to what i call the EU period. EU starts with the Han Solo trilogy and concludes for me with Zahns Vision of the Future.

This is a review of the abridged Audio CD which is 5 CD's and 6 ¼ hours long. First let me applaud Random House. Their typical Abridgement for a single novel is 2 cassettes or 2 CD's that run from 2 to 2 ½ hours long. This is what I call abridgement! 6 plus hours of listening pleasure. I drive a lot and have every SW audio book, even the ones for the comics. I love these longer versions. The longer versions make up for the fact that there are virtually no unabridged audio books in the Star Wars universe.

TG takes place at 8.2 After NH on my timeline shortly after the Courtship of Princess Leia, but before Heir to the Empire. This is an excellent new addition to the classic ERA (vs the "prequel" and NJO era's). One could even argue that it is an important book, because it ties the classic era to the prequel era because Leia reads a journal. The story here is the journal and not the alderaanian art.

Relive an adventure before Chewy and Anakin Solo are killed. Denning brings us away from the darkness that is the NJO, just at a time when darkness is necessarily descending upon the Prequel era.

There are some nitpicky complaints that I have where the story drags or continuity errors but they don't really harm one enjoyment, that is why 4 stars, not 5 stars. If you are a big fan of Han, Leia and Chewy I am sure you will love this book!
