Darth
Bane: Path of Destruction
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 4 / 5
An exciting look at the Sith and the Dark Side [...]
Karpyshyn takes his time in setting up a clear character for Bane
[...] the opening of the book deals with Bane before his Sith training
[...] Bane's future is hinted at through brief glimpses of his abilities
[...] you find yourself rooting for the protagonist, but Karpyshyn never lets you forget that he is the consummate antihero... read

Darth
Bane: Rule of Two
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3.5 / 5
A solid follow up [...] well worth a read
[...] we see Bane change from cunning apprentice to a true master of machination and deception
[...] we are constantly reminded that our two protagonists are very much anti-heroes
[...] I found myself wanting them to succeed [...]
a few instances where the characters slip slightly [...]
nothing that seriously jars... read full

Darth
Bane: Dynasty of Evil
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3 / 5
I enjoyed reading this book [...] the plot ties the three books together quite well
[...] lots of clever links used to create a web of interconnecting plot lines
[...] biggest flaws of the book: it is rather predictable
[...] motives and actions of the characters are quite transparent
[...] ense and literary tension, but instead the motives and actions of the characters are quite
transparent [...] only at the end are there moments when it is unclear as to which of two directions the plot will take
[...] wasn't quite up to the standard of the preceding novels... read

Galaxy
of Fear #11: Clones
By John Whitman
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3.5 / 5
Contains within it one of the most exciting
concepts in the series [...] echoes of a young
Luke Skywalker tempted by the Dark Side [...] an
altercation between a pair of Shi'ido - this small scene
alone is an incredible moment in the EU [...] a
strong book, which raises hopes for a good finale to the
series... read full

Galaxy
of Fear #12: The Hunger
By John Whitman
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3.5 / 5
Opening is a little forced [...] any book that has to manoeuvre characters to Dagobah seems very forced
[...] horror factor in the book is on another scale
[...] level of detail that is presented here is truly shocking
[...] a very absorbing read [...] ending definitely left you wanting more... read

Galaxy
of Fear #10: The Doomsday Ship
By John Whitman
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 2.5 / 5
A little far-fetched [...] the story itself is relatively entertaining
[...] the villain is painfully obvious [...]
Generally rather adequate is, sadly, the greatest praise it can be given, but it is praise nonetheless... read

Galaxy
of Fear #9: Spore
By John Whitman
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3 / 5
In spite of its sluggish pace, this story is quite entertaining
[...] Ithor is a great setting for this book [...]
back story are imaginative and well-thought-out [...]
The biggest problem was the pacing of the story... read

Galaxy
of Fear #8: The Swarm
By John Whitman
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3 / 5
Much better than the preceding volumes in the series
[...] tension is more tangible [...] series still suffers from the same old problems
[...] the protagonists will be fine [...] it will all sort itself out in the end
[...] twist at the end is unlikely to be explored further in the next volume
[...] Enjoyable, but not outstanding... read
