Karen Traviss' RC Series
« on: June 10, 2008, 06:23:18 AM »
I just got done reading the third installment of this "True Colors" and see that "Order 66" is the last one in this series. I will pick it up and read it. I don't want to give too much away, but it is a pretty good read about Omega and Delta squads and the search for a cure to the rapid ageing the Clones face. It has the romance stuff that gals dig, but I didn't let that scare me too much. Its a pretty good read! ^-^

Saw this from the official Star Wars website. I really loved the video game Republic Commando and am loving the tales of Omega squad by Karen Traviss.

Here is the skippy on the final book. WARNING. It does contain spoilers!

I still haven't read order 66 yet, but plan on doing so. It looks like there is going to be an Imperial Commando series written by said author that will further the RC series.

Traviss is flat-out AMAZING!  The RC series is one of two motivators that finally pushed me into getting serious about my customizing figs.  (for the other reason, see "fan-fic links" in this forum)

Brendan and I plan to do a major diorama of the "apartment scene" from Triple Zero, with ALL the squad-members, Null Arcs, Mando's, Jedi, and other hangers-on who appeared.  Ambitious?  Of course!!  Worth it?  HELL YEAH!!  Homage to the queen, and all! 

I even have Trooper Corr with his prosthetic hands!

Of course, having an SA Commando would be a significant help...I'll buy at least eight...at least...!

Ok, I picked up the first book, last week and am a few chapters into it, now. Pretty cool, so far.

I just finished Order 66 while I was at the beach. I liked the book. I wasn't overly happy with the ending, but I guess you always need some material to set up another book. I know I better get my happy ending in Imperial Commando!

I've come across the RC series by accident when I picked up the first novel in a bookshop at the Airport in Atlanta, GA, and that got me hooked on Omega and Delta.
From the ending of Order 66, I should think that Niner and Dar might play a role in the upcoming book, too.
Do you know about a brief spoiler?

Nothing other than the topic description you get from places like Amazon.com and similar sites.
