Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Going all the away up to the end of 1998 and therefore missing all of the Episode One figures and new specialities such as the sail-barge skiff and Stormtrooper with blaster-rifle rack, this is nevertheless the ultimate figure guide.

Escape to Hoth (Classic Star Wars, Volume Three) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This graphic novel is a great history filler for the time that lapsed between A New Hope and Empire. When read sequentially after the first two volumes, it becomes a whole new movie explaining how and why the rebels chose to go to Hoth and helps to give a better understanding of the main characters motives....

RED STAR AIRACOBRA: Memoirs of a Soviet Fighter Ace 1941-45 (Soviet Memories of War) (v. 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book is more or less a typical memoir from the Eastern Front. I read it in one day and enjoyed it for the most part.

The Early Adventures (Classic Star Wars, Volume Four) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One of my fondest memories of Star Wars--fonder even than watching the first movie--is coming upon Russ Manning's "Star Wars" during its run in newspapers.

A Southern Star For Maryland: Maryland and the Secession Crisis Review

Final Winter (Five Star Mystery Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This pacy novel reflects a scenario not a million miles away from the movie 'Speed.'
