Finally finished the Star Wars: Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss. "The most amazing star wars story I have ever read" is what I have to say for this series, just out and out amazing.

Alright, I like this book because it tells you some stuff you that you don't hear about in your history class. However, it does have a leftist slant, regardless I think this is a piece of work that everyone needs to read.
