Star wars republic commandos order 66 series#

Okay, hereвЂ™s a bit of a intro to the series (for those unfortunate enough not to have read the previous Republic Commando books or any of KarenвЂ™s books): We all know that old Count Dooku, acting on PalpatineвЂ™s orders, placed an order for clones with the Kaminoans, that the material from which the clones were created came from Jango Fett, and that these clones formed the Grand Army of the Republic in a time when the Republic had no standing army at all. Karen is amazing at getting you into the heads of her characters! Whether they be Jedi, Commandos, Mandalorians, or even Strill ( рџ™‚ ) Karen leaves you with the feeling that these beings actually live and breathe somewhere, that you know them intimately, and just as that knowing them keeps you reading, she can still surprise you with how the characters react вЂ“ but they still react in ways that are true to who they are. It seemed a wonderful case of serendipity that I had read GRRMвЂ™s fantasy epic before reading Order 66, because it became clear to me that Mr Martin has some major competition in the living-and-breathing-characters department. Why do I say that? Well, the power of KarenвЂ™s characterization, for one. IвЂ™ve been following KarenвЂ™s adventures in a вЂgalaxy far, far awayвЂ™ since her first Republic Commando novel, Hard Contact, as well as the brilliant work sheвЂ™s done in the Legacy of the Force series, and I can honestly say that she has become stronger with each book!ДЄt first, it was a bit strange for me to be immersed in a Star Wars universe that was grittier and darker than what I was used to, but I had been prepared for that by The New Jedi Order series вЂ“ and I still think that it would have been insanely brilliant (instead of just brilliant) if Karen Traviss could have been a part of that series. To put it lightly, these two books, more than any IвЂ™ve read since I began this blog last year, have had my heart pounding so hard and fast that IвЂ™m really worried I might just keel over and leave this plane of existence with images of the Starks and Lannisters and Republic Commandos and Jedi spinning through my head as I fade awayвЂ¦ рџ™‚ If anyone knows whether someone has ever died of a heart attack from reading a book, please let me know: because after reading A Game of Thrones and now Order 66, IвЂ™m starting to worry a bit.
