Dragons of a Vanished Moon (Dragonlance: War of Souls, Book 3) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is it: the book that is supposed to bring the Fourth Age back to devotees of classic Dragonlance while at the same time maintaining the fans of Fifth Age. Since Dragons of Summer Flame, Weis and Hickman have left the world of Dragonlance to the less-than-capable hands of other authors and creators....

The Frogmen of World War II: An Oral History of the U.S. Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Navy Frogmen of World War II" combines two subjects that have enjoyed enormous popularity in recent years: World War II exploits and Special Operations. The Navy Frogmen were a precursor to the Navy Seals, and were often engaged in some of the most dangerous behind-enemy-lines operations. It's hazardous...

The Well of Eternity (WarCraft: War of the Ancients, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, I highly recommend that you read Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (another Knaak book) before this one. Think of it as a sort of prequel to the War of the Ancients trilogy, like The Hobbit is to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.Not that I'm comparing the book to LotR. It's not an amazing, genre-defining...

Trapped in Time (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I loved the DS9 young adult novels when I was younger, so decided to pick this one up. Its very well written (better than some "normal" Star Trek novels) and has an interesting plot and an important message to tell. Other characters to appear besides Jake and Nog are Sisko, Picard, O'Brien and Dulmer...

Star Wars Sourcebook Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book has just about all that is needed for people starting up with the SW:RPG. Main Imperial and Alliance warships, as well as a few ground vehicles. One of the only places i've been able to find the complete listing of Imperial starfighters. It also has a good listing of basic equipment available...

Star Wars Imperial Sourcebook, 2nd Edition (Star Wars RPG) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is best used in conjunction with the Rebel Handbook and the Star Wars Sourcebook. Between the three of them most information is covered. (maybe this one DOESN'T cover TIE stats, but there's a nice chart in the Sourcebook that has all the different starcraft lined up.) Good flavor. Excellent...

The Sundering (Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy, Book 3) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Based on the other reviews, I am in the minority on this but I found this whole trilogy a massive disappointment. I can only assume that others liked these books because they were so entranced by the lore, that they overlooked the many deficiencies. I've read a lot of fantasy novels, some good, some...

Seikai: Crest of the Stars, Vol. 2: A Modest War Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Crest of the Stars: A Modest War picks up right where the first novel, Princess of the Empire, left off. Which is a good thing since Princess of the Empire ended off with a cliffhanger: Jinto and Lafiel were being held captive by Baron Febdash, who captured them when their desperate escape from the United...

Han Solo's Revenge (Classic Star Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Picking up not too long after Han Solo at Stars' End, maybe a couple of months later, Han Solo's Revenge continues Brian Daley's chronicles of some of Han Solo's more daring early exploits. In this next volume of the Han Solo Adventures, the author continues to uphold the high standards set in the first...

The Empire Strikes Back (Choose Your Own Star Wars Adventures) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read numerous Star Wars books and also plenty of Choose Your Own Adventure books, and while this book was good, it was somewhat unrealistic. I wish that they had let me be Luke or somebody, intead of this made up character that has no place in the Star Wars universe. Other than that though, it...

Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races (Star Wars Roleplaying Game Supplement) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A true must-have for those tired of playing Human characters in an Universe as diversed as Star Wars. It is specialy good in giving written explanations for the Attribute Stats, from all the SW books I've read, this, like none other, gives insighful explanations to the alien's species.Click Here to see...

Guild Wars: Edge of Destiny Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After the first book (and the 1 chapter sneak preview of this novel), I was very excited to read the next installment, which tells the tale of how Destiny's Edge comes together. Unfortunately, this book is not as well written as the previous novel (Guild Wars : Ghosts of Ascalon). It imparts a great...

The first of these battles was fought in the Coral Sea. The Japanese wanted to invade Port Morseby and use that...

A New Hope: The Life of Luke Skywalker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book. I have followed all of the Star Wars series books from Scholastic (Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Quest, Last of the Jedi, and Rebel Force)and I believe this book links into those stories as well as what happened before, and after the movies. For those who haven't read the Star Wars...
