Setting Up the Book & Author0:37 – 2:17

C

CoryHost

0:37

Not just mine and Justin's.

C

CoryHost

0:39

If you're listening to this, he's now one of your favorite Star Wars authors as well.

J

JustinHost

0:42

Yeah, you've joined the collective.

C

CoryHost

0:43

Yeah.

C

CoryHost

0:44

With Matthew Stover, which I think this is our last Stover novel.

C

CoryHost

0:48

We've done Revenge of the Sith, we've done Traitor, we've done shatter point.

C

CoryHost

0:53

J

JustinHost

0:54

Um

C

CoryHost

0:54

...

C

CoryHost

0:54

but this is it.

J

JustinHost

0:56

Yeah.

C

CoryHost

0:57

So, yeah.

J

JustinHost

0:58

Yeah, 'cause Dark Lord is, I keep forgetting it's, it's James Lucino, not Stover, so.

C

CoryHost

1:03

Yeah, so a, a kind of, kind of a weird Star Wars novel.

C

CoryHost

1:07

J

JustinHost

1:07

Very weird Star Wars novel

C

CoryHost

1:10

...

C

CoryHost

1:10

but the, the basic premise of it, for those of you who have not read this book before, is there's a battle in the early days of The New Republic.

C

CoryHost

1:19

Luke is in charge.

C

CoryHost

1:22

It doesn't go super hot, and Luke feels like he's messed everything up.

C

CoryHost

1:26

So he goes to get himself investigated for war crimes and-

J

JustinHost

1:31

Hmm

C

CoryHost

1:31

...

C

CoryHost

1:31

the person doing the investigation writes a hollow thriller, so a, just a, a smutty, like, pulp movie for the Star Wars galaxy, making Luke look like more of a hero.

C

CoryHost

1:44

So we don't really know what actually happened at Mindor.
