I'm one of those people who - upon reading a book - must subsequently hunt down and find every single book at all related to that book ever written, and read it. I hate loose ends and can't stand unanswered questions. I like to know what happens to people (Strangely enough, especially people who don't actually exist). Upon reading just one Discworld novel a few years ago, I became a man possessed, and now even the slightest inconsistency in one of his dozens of novels sends me into a spiral for weeks trying to either figure it out or forget it. This is the main reason I most of my reading here, where I can be confident that there'll almost always be more sooner or later, and when I have a question or a concern, it can almost always be explained or even rectified in the writing of the author in question.
Recently, I came up with a story idea I wanted to do for TRF, featuring a character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe - specifically, during the Clone Wars. I'd sworn to myself I would never read those books, knowing that if I started I'd have to read all of them. They damnably entangle characters into each other's plots, meaning that even if you read all that there is on one character, it's a certainty somewhere along the line you'll get a glimpse of another's plight, and have to follow them, and before you know it you've bought fifteen books and haven't gotten anything done. Anyone noticed I haven't been around the last couple of days? I was caught up in one of the few remaining Terry Pratchett books I haven't read yet, and more lethally still, one of the Clone Wars series. I'd picked it up on a reccomendation from a friend and because it featured a character I thought might be useful for a story.
Foolishly, I thought I could read the one book and be done with it, it being part of a duology an me willing to skip the first half. My mistake. The character makes other appearances, as do other charactes, and now I'm consumed to read those adventures too - and if that wasn't enough, those adventures include even more damn adventures, which (knowing me) I'll end up reading.
So, to actually get to my question, I decided I might as well get the ball rolling and start reading - what the hell, I'd almost finished catching up on Pratchett anyways - but as is my custom, I want to finish reading about one character before moving to the other. There I've hit a stumbling block, oen that even the mighty internet seems incapable of solving. According to the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia (A useful tool) the character in question next appeared in 'Reversal of Fortune' by Paul Ens, which appears to be neither a novel or a comic, but was instead produced by 'Lucas Online'. I've scoured google, and inspected as many sites as I could come across, but no answer is forthcoming.
Since several here appear to read Star Wars stuff in the Expanded Universe, my question is this - does anyone know what this is and where it can be found?
