I actually thought Stackpole's work in SW was fairly weak for him Isaac Send a noteboard - 21/05/2013 04:06:46 AM

View original postStackpole has always been one of my favorite authors in the EU, and his treatment of Corran/the Praxeum was great. Beyond that, Survivor's Quest was excellent, as it was kind of a departure from your traditional SW adventure story. Zahn almost had a horror feel going in that one.

I'm not saying that Stackpole wasn't one of the better EU writers but he's written in other shared settings, and his Battletech novels for instance were much better.

Please refresh my memory on Traitor.....why did you like it so much? Anonymous2000 - 19/05/2013 02:27:23 PM 1097 Views
Yes, it's that book. And for what it's worth, I think the NJO is the best thing to happen to SW. *NM* Kotagg - 20/05/2013 08:13:10 PM 529 Views
The journey was good, but the ending completely blew (which tainted much of NJO). *NM* Anonymous2000 - 20/05/2013 08:31:08 PM 531 Views
