I'd like to start reading some of the Star Wars books (like on break at work). Which would be the best to start out with? I really don't know much about them at all. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Yeah the prequel novel zahn is making is likely to be centered around Thrawn and The Outbound Flight Project. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

The God of all SW books, also known as Timothy Zahn, is writing a book about Thrawn back when he was with the Chiss', before he became an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, if I remember correctly. |

Actually MoS Rogue Planet occurs after Ep.1 The Approaching Storm occurs sometime after that and before episode 1. Going by publishing date might be a little harder than going by star wars chronological happenings. Here's theforce.net's novel review section. They keep it a bit more up to date than the one rocket raccoon posted. But don't have a buy option. http://www.theforce.net/books/reviews/novels_chrono.shtml It lists the novels in their chronological order of what happens. As for which prequel novel to start off with, why not wait untill Zahn's Prequel novel comes out. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

The first EU book published was Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. The Heir to the Empire series is still some of the best stuff. If you want to read all of em I'd go by publishing date. I've got all the EU novels that are during and after the original trilogy. If i'm bored enough I may organise them by publishing date.  I havent read any of the prequel novels. Where should I start with that? _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

I'm buying NJO books and reading every Star Wars book I find at the library. I'm currently reading I, Jedi. It's pretty good. Vector Prime is the first in the New Jedi Order. Rogue Planet(I think) occurs earliest, before Ep1. I really like James Luceno's writing. The Approaching Storm is 2nd or 3rd too, but it sucks ass. Truce At Bakura is right after the last movie. _______________ Jedi Academy Holocron http://jaholocron.ryanmh.com/ Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government. |

Well that's debatable I think. Shadows of the Empire could be called one of the first. That takes place between ep. V and VI. Then there's Truce at Bakura which takes place a few days after the battle of Endor. There's also the Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy which takes place during ROTJ but has flash backs to earlier instances. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Hmmm....Well, I think I'd like to start with the 1st book and then go from there (I like to read things in order. I was gonna read Hitchhikers Guide again, but I don't have the 1st book). So, which is the very 1st book in the EU? That's the one I'd like to start with. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Thrawn or the X-wing novels would be good. Stackpole and Zahn have done about the best job of keeping continuity going in the Expanded Universe and keeping the other stories together. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I started with Timothy Zahn's trilogy (think thats thrawn) then went to Jedi Academy trilogy (those books pwn ) then worked my way throught the rest and am now halfway through NJO. I've got 34 books in total _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side
