A review by hidekisohma
Annihilation by Drew Karpyshyn
3.0
So i'm going to ask you two questions. 1. Have you played the expansions for the old republic? 2. do you like Theron? If you've answered no to either of these questions, chances are, you're not going to care about this book.
It seems that with the exception of Fatal alliance, every one of these books has a focus on a character. Revan was obviously...well Revan, Deception was Malgus, and Annhilation is Theron. And while Fatal Alliance was still my favorite of the four, (this being the final old republic book as of now), This one definitely comes in second. Having played the expansions and thinking that Theron's an all right guy, I enjoyed the book to an extent.
The biggest issue with this book is that there's a lot of Theron's mommy and daddy issues scattered throughout. If you can push through that, it's fine. The story itself is pretty generic. Super weapon, Theron has to stop it. About as generic as a star wars story can get. But Theron's funny enough and there's some good enough action scenes to make it worth it.
One of the good things was that it was an incredibly fast read. it's only around 280 pages which compared to fatal alliance is Child's play. I pumped this book out in like 2-3 days.
Overall, nothing fantastic, but not bad. A fun romp through the galaxy with Theron. 3/5.
