Looks like you've had a visit from a special guest! I have to agree that the REPUBLIC COMMANDO series are among the best books I've read. It forces people to see with new eyes and that can be painful if your used to a narrow, dogmatic view of the Universe. Then again, the average, thankless, Imperial citizen could use a little more pain in their lives! It's about time that the true Hero's of the Old Republic receive their due! Vode An! TK-2035 aka "Lancer" Hey Thirteen! Looks like you’ve had a visit from a special guest!

Ask the store to order it if it's not on the shelves: B&N, Borders and others have had whole displays of it. It's a mass-market paperback that's been in the bestsellers lists - it's not like it's from an obscure small press or anything. It's published by Del Rey.

Glad you enjoyed it. Point of clarification: I'm a journalist by trade, or I was before I became a full time author 18 months ago. The military connection (apart from my family and my home town, which has the UK's main naval base for centuries) is that I was a defence correspondent and I also served as a reservist for a few years. (Links on my web site.) If anyone wants to know how authentic the material is, ask the guys in the 501st who are serving or who are vets- I passed their inspection. ;) I've had to Starwars-ize a lot, obviously, but the human side and the tactics ring true for anyone serving in any branch of the armed forces, if the mail I get daily is any guide. (All my books are military and/ or political fiction seen from the sharp end - same in my own wess'har series.) I'm really enjoying your MP3 archives, by the way...! Thanks, Trooper! Glad you enjoyed it.

Very, very good stuff. Seriously. Well, considering it written by a woman who spent her fair share of time serving in the UK military, I’d say she has it down pat. Very, very good stuff. Seriously.
