Star Wars: Andor

[pukunui]

Well, there are two reasons I never read the novelization of Attack of the Clones.

Having enjoyed the RotS novelisation, I was hoping the AotC novelisation would have the same effect. Alas, it only further cemented that story in my mind as the worst of the lot. Bob should really stick to writing about Drizzt.

He hasn't written a great Drizzt book since 1999 the last half decent one was 2006 iirc.

And he has written some decent Star Wars novels. He just can't do it consistently, or with poor quality source material.

I don't know that they do novelisations for TV series. The closest I know of is the graphic novel adaptation of The Mandalorian.

Speaking of The Mandalorian, yesterday I was walking in my town at about 8am, and saw someone dressed in Mandalorian armour putting out the trash.

His Star Wars novels were fairly so so. There's a lot worse I wouldn't call them good though.

There's a handful of fairly consistent SW authors they're a rare breed.

I agree. No bad, but also not good. IMO the best Star Wars novels were written by Zahn, Daley and Stackpole.

Add Allston to that list and yeah I would agree.

AC Crispin Solo trilogy was also a standout imho.

Oh yes, I liked the Allston novels. I felt the Crispin Solo trilogy suffered hugely in comparison to the Daley Solo trilogy through. Also worthy of mention is the Drew Karpyshyn Bane series.

True Drew is a good auther. I think he worked on the MN ass Effect story.

Allston. Wraith squadron books were better than Rogue Squadron imho.

His books were also a stand out in the Vong series.

I've heard good things about the new Lost Stars books and the Zahn books.

Yeah, he worked for Bioware, contributing to Mass Effect, KOTOR and Baldur's Gate 2 (I think).

I liked both series, but Rogue Squadron edges it for me.

His books were also a stand out in the Vong series.

I hate all things Vong.

I've heard good things about the new Lost Stars books and the Zahn books.

The Zahn books are well worth reading if you haven't done so.
