Roundup of Fatal
Alliance reviews:
Posted: 26th
July
Released last week, Fatal
Alliance by Sean Williams, is the first tie-in
novel to Bioware and LucasArts upcoming MMORPG video
game The Old Republic, and here is a selection of
reviews available on the internet:
- BlogSystemIsGo.com
- review by T. J.: "One thing I love about
this book is it's not the standard Jedi vs. Sith
scenario we've all seen done a million times.
Instead you see them competing for the same goal but
not in direct conflict, giving the reader a chance
to view both sides during this cold war period".
Read T.J.'s full review here .
- Graeme's Fantasy Book Review
- review by Graeme Florry: "has everything
that you’d expect to find in a Star Wars novel,
the only problem I found was that this meant there
was nothing that made the story stand out in it’s
own right [...] The end result is almost
indistinguishable from other Star Wars novels but
every so often you can see that Williams is chafing
at the bit and wanting to show us what he can really
do".
Read Graeme's full review here .
- TheForce.net - review by
Aldrick Tolliver: "I was somewhat skeptical
on beginning Fatal Alliance, with its setting in a
brand new era and a bevy of unfamiliar characters—an
unusual combination for Star Wars novels. I quickly
discovered, however, that Williams had risen to the
challenge of capturing the feel of the
still-in-development-game while still providing a
well-constructed adventure novel with interesting
characters".

- NJOE.com - review by Obi
John: "While I won’t say it is my
favorite novel, I will say that Williams definitely
redeemed himself for The Force Unleashed in my eyes.
I would strongly recommend this novel to any fan of
Star Wars, and would say it is a must read for
anyone who is planning on playing the game or
otherwise immersing themselves in the exciting era
that is just beginning to be explored".
