Shatterpoint by Matthew Woodring Stover
3.0
I rewatched Revenge of the Sith and wanted to read about Mace Windu. So I tracked down the only book starring him. It's no longer Cannon so I'll be interested in seeing if they give him another book to make his story official once more. My money is on showing that he survived the battle with The Emperor. After all there was no body.
As for this book, it was solid if undewhelming. Stover did a good job balancing Mace's personality. He needed to be a bad MoFo since Sam Jackson portrayed him and he was was. But he also needed to be vulnerable. He was that, too. He gets his butt kicked a couple of times but also kicks butt.
The jungle planet was in line with Star Wars' habit of making worlds characters. But the plot machinations didn't quite work for me. Too many bait and switches near the end.
Just an average book for me.
