Street of Shadows (Star Wars: Coruscant Nights II)

Shipped quickly and in perfect condition.

This was book 2 in the Coruscant Nights series. Jedi Jax Pavan is still coming to terms with information about his father, adjusting to I-5 and his other two companions. Into this mix, a murder may and Vader's search for him. We also have bounty hunter force sensitive Aurra Sing and Captain Typho, formerly of the Royal House of Naboo, and two very different women who are rather fond of Jax. This is noir, Star Wars style. It is interesting to see how the threads intertwine. On to book 3, Patterns of Force.

No issues with the condition of the book.

I probably should have given up on this series after the first one, but there was just enough with Darth Vader to keep me hooked. However, the second book in the Corsucant Nights series was just as average as the first one.Again, scenes with Darth Vader keep my interest, as well as the appearances by Jedi hunter Aurra Sing. So much more could have been done with Sing over the years, but she's remained largely in the background until now. Sing is hunting Jax Pavan, the main character, and Vader is being hunted himself, this time by Padme's love-struck protector, Captain Typho.Once again, the author attempts to impress us with his large vocabulary, and his story moves very slowly in places. Most Star Wars novels I find myself staying up late at night, eager to read the next chapter. So far, these two novels have helped put me to sleep at night.Now I've given both books in this series three stars, which means they're not completely unreadable. I love the Star Wars universe outside the movies, but this series hasn't done much to flesh out the Star Wars universe after the prequel trilogy. Hopefully the final novel will have a payoff worthy of one more star.

I remember it being okay, but that's the fault of the author not the packaging (which was fine). I apologize that I can't tell you why it's okay as I read it once and don't plan on reading it again right now. I just remember it was a nice read but got boring in some parts. I do wish the characters were seen in other Star Wars novels.

I bought the enitre series in my thirst to read some new LUCASBOOK material. Jax Pavans story was very interesting .. funny it wasn't unti I read this series that I remembered that in Darth Maul:SHadow Hunter.. one of the main characters and droid in that story were two of the main characters in this series! Anyway we get to see Aurra Sing- rogue Jedi turned bounty hunter and good ole Captain Typho of Naboo (I have to admit, I wondered what ever happened to him after Revenge of the Sith) you'll find out here. Its not the best LUCASBOOK material put out but I think this series is entertaining enough and as long as you aren't going into your STAR WARS Encyclopedias to pick out inaccuracies, you will enjoy these as I have up until this point. Going to start in on "Patterns of Force" soon.... O and "Red HArvest" is pretty d--- good read.

I really enjoyed this as well as the first one!

Product was excellent.

as with part one of coruscant nights the links to the rest of the star wars universe neither add nor detract from the story save for a couple of cameos from Darth Vader which liven things up. it is a shame laranth is under used in this outing and there is a lack of a coherent villain although the set piece with the main protagonist which is at the novels apogee is worth wait. looking forward to the final instalment!

It's a different type of star wars book but in a good way. I love the link to the earlier books in the EU
