I haven’t read any of the X-Wing books yet, but I’m starting to wonder if Corran Horn’s “flaws” as a Jedi might have been Stackpole reacting to criticism about his abilities in his early SW books. As mentioned, a lot of things do not work out for Horn in the Dark Tide bduology, and even his Force powers were pretty ‘nerfed’ overall (most notably his inability to use telekinesis).
So I just finished reading the book Dark Tide II: Ruin and I’m very confused by the space-station pictured on the cover (both the American and the Japanese version).
What is it? As far as I could tell it never appeared in the story. When I first bought the book I figured it was a reference to TPM which had just been released a year before the book, because it kinda looks like one of the Trade Federation command ships, but none of those were ever mentioned.
It was gonna be in the unreleased middle book of the Dark Tide trilogy that was cut down to two books. I guess they were too lazy to remove it from the cover.
Interesting. Do you have some source for that? Now I’m curious as to what was planned for the middle book.
I’m having a hard time to figure out what they could have squeezed in between the two Dark Tide books.
