Best SW Book?

Well? What's your favourite?

As for mine, it has to be Vision of the Future, by Timothy Zahn. A small text, 694 page tome (Longest SW novel ever? Damn right) chock full of awesome Star Wars action and a brilliant plot, in the riveting conclusion of Zahn's 'Hand of Thrawn' duo.

I don't really read the EU books, so I'd have to say the Jedi Apprentice series, about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn before they met Anakin, when Obi-Wan himself was a young apprentice.

I liked "I, Jedi"... but I honestly don't remember who it was by.... (I can never remember the name of the author of a book.... even if I've read the book about 3000 times...)

I also liked the X-wing series...

I, Jedi was great, yeah... Corran Horn is my favourite Jedi character. Though, Kyp Durron is pretty good too- we all love to hate that bag of slime.

I just ran and got my copy out of the box I had yet to unpack from my move here to University... it's by Michael A. Stackpole.

I'll have to agree with Gash on the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Vision of the Future<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> stand, Timothy Zahn is a genius, one of my favourite writers. For me, it was a close call between <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Vision<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> and <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Spector of the Past<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, which I feel is also a book that shall reign forever in the annals of time and excellent literature.

Now i've just gotta get round to reading the Thrawn series...

Out of the few I've read, Cloak of Deception is probably the best. For anyone who want to understand the politics behind the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo, READ IT!!!

I haven't finished reading <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Dark Force Rising<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, but so far my favourite SW book is <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Heir to the Empire<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> by Timothy Zahn. I just love the parts with Luke Skywalker, like the part in deep space when hi X-Wing is bordering on FUBAR! :)
