Okay, the Lensmen reaction I was talking about on March 26th isn’t happening. It’s simply been too long since I read the books for me to reconstruct a meaningful reaction out of my half-baked notes. Some day, when I read those books again, this reaction will be properly completed. For now, it will be naught but a place-holder.
In April and May of last year I got pumped up on Star Wars for the first time in years as a result of a blessed conjunction: Not only did I obtain the original versions of the original trilogy in widescreen, but I also watched the gloriously entertaining Clone Wars animated series. “Oh yeah,” I thought. “I remember why I love Star Wars.”
So, in preparation for Revenge of the Sith, I tackled a plethora of Star Wars tie-in fiction. These are the subject of the next six What I’m Reading, at which point the archives will be complete and you’ll start seeing new WIR material appearing on these pages:
40. Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy – Timothy Zahn
41. Star Wars: Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy – Michael P. Kube-McDowell
42. Star Wars: The New Rebellion – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
