A Forest Apart

[Brian]

There is a new ebook by Troy Denning called A Forest Apart that will be released just prior to the release of Tatooine Ghost. It's about Chewbacca's son, Lumpawarrump, who wants to learn more about his father. Here's an excerpt from starwars.com (http://www.starwars.com).

That's what Lumpawarrump, Chewbacca's son, discovers in A Forest Apart. The young Wookiee has grown up hearing tales of his father's heroics, but he hasn't heard them from Chewbacca. Chewie's life debt to Han Solo keeps him constantly on the move and away from home. Without the steadying influence of his father, Lumpy is running wild. His mother, Mallotobuck, decides that a visit to Coruscant is in order. It's the perfect opportunity for father and son to bond again -- and for Lumpy to learn that, even for a great hero like Chewbacca, there is more to life than adventure.

Is anyone interested in this ebook?

[Luvinna.]

I'd be more interested in it if it were a real book. My eyes get tired really fast when I do a lot of reading off a computer screen. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif

More to life than adventure, huh? Well, if it truely is a SW book, then it's got to have some adventure in it.

I think I will wait until it comes out with the pb version of Tatooine Ghost (if it does...).

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sly.gif i really don't care for the book...as much as i love wookiees and star wars...the book just doesn't grab my attenion!

[Whuffa]

I'll buy it simply because it's by Troy Denning.

[xagete]

Sounds pretty good, so long as Troy Denning wrote it, I'm reading it!

I hate e-books. As jedisaber said they should stick to paperbacks.

[Soontir Solo]

I agree. E-Books are just stupid. Take Ylesia for example why not just add 2 or 3 chapters to DW, it would have gave the book more action.

[Exar D'an]

They are actually adding it to the end of the paperback version of DW.

[Soontir Solo]

But everybody who really likes NJO will have the hardback. A few people might get the paperback, but I for example got DW the first day it came out, and read it that same day. I just cant stand E-Books.

[Exar D'an]

Once again I agree with Soontir. Tis is really getting scary...

[Brian]

Who read it? Whuffa? Care to post a summary?

[Whuffa]

Yeah I did read it and the e-book is... cute. That's the perfect word to desribe it. !WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!






What happens basicly is that someone breaks into the Solo's apartment while the Chewbacca family is there and they decide to investigate. This leads into a fun romp through the lower levels of Coruscant with the wookies uncovering an Imperial mini-rebellion lead by a... you're going to laugh at this one... demented Imperial interrogator droid! They stop the droid in his wicked plan and everyone's happy! As I said it's cute, fun, and enjoyable. It's also nice to see how Chewbacca and his family interact and work together. I didn't mind spending 3 bucks on it. If you liked Tattoine Ghost, you'll like this one also.
