Well I had to read Millenium Falcon before I could read Outcast but I've finally finished it. I kept waiting for this horrible book to start but I rather enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the EU and the continuing adventures of Star Wars.
Captainsolo, sorry you didnt enjoy the little of Legacy of the Force that you did read. I thoroughly enjoyed that series. Your comparisons to Episode III are admitedly not without merit but I loved Episode III.
I have several Star wars books I havent read yet, wonder which one Ill decide to read next...maybe the Shadows of Mindor.
