Star Wars Republic Commando: Order 66 Review

A Republic Commando Novel:
Order 66
By: Karen Traviss
Released: September 16, 2008


Plot: (5/5)
= Usually, it takes about a year after the battle of Geonosis, it talks about the Clones and the Jedi before the Great Jedi Purge, it mostly talks about their life in and on the war they have fought. And still, the story takes place before and on the Great Jedi Purge. It took place on 19 BBY.

Characters: (4.5/5)
= Traviss still used the same 'ol great characters from the Republic Commando series. Specifically Sergeant Kal Skirata, former Republic Commando Fi Skirata, Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan, and the Null ARCs (ARC means "Advanced Recon Clone"). And the only one that wasn't here in the book was Darman.

Lifespan: (4/5)
= With 27 chapters and 467 pages of the full story about the Great Jedi Purge and the means of having Order 66 was all in the book and makes it more interesting to read. You will be finished by 2-3 months of a whole day reading.

Cover: (4.5/5)
= With a Clone Trooper still on the cover makes it look more attractive with the redish-black color of the font for "Order 66" and the "Star Wars" logo, because having red and black means it have a dark and deep story about a sorrowful event in the book. It's very spectacular.

Author's Reputation:
= Karen Traviss made the novel series Star Wars Legacy of the Force, Republic Commando, and her upcoming Clone Wars novel series. Legacy of the Force hits the scoreboard just because of her amazing storyline taking place after Episode VI Return of the Jedi. And she is considered as the #1 New York Times bestselling authoer.

Overall: (4.5/5)
= With Traviss making the Republic Commando novel series, yes you can say that that this book is the one she made as a spectacular book since True Colors and Triple Zero. The book answers all the question about the issue of Order 66. And yet, it is a most have book for all Star Wars Fan.

Book is available at StarWarsShop.com for only $7.99.
