Aaron Allston

Aaron Allston is one of my two favorite Author’s. Orson Scott Card is my other.

I always laugh when I read Allston’s books. He is really good at doing un-expected things. I’ve read a LOT of Star Wars books, and a lot of them are boring. They just blend together, it’s the classic good vs evil, Han and Leia are in a tough spot, and get out, or substitute Han and Chewie, or Luke and Mara, etc… But Aaron’s books always break out of the mold and give you something fresh.

My absolute favorites are the Enemy Lines series including Rebel Dream in the New Jedi Order Series. I also LOVED Wraith Squadron… Especially the part where Piggy in-advertantly blasts the captain of a ship into crispy crunchies while blwoing his way into the bridge…

After reading the Enemy Lines series, I enjoyed it SO much that I found Aaron’s email address and sent him a note. Here’s what he sent back.

I laughed when Artoo altered the food database so that the Security droid would pass Han’s blaster and Lia’s Light Saber as food and then rescued Han and Lia, and when wedge flew under the legs of the Vaugh ground based weapons platform. (A Rankat?) It was awesome!

I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know.
