Black Star Renegades by Michael Moreci
3.0
Moreci, Michael. Black Star Renegades. Black Star Renegades No. 1. St. Martin’s P, 2018.
Black Star Renegades is what happens when a book editor gets a bright idea to ask a comic book writer who he knows is a space opera fan to write a novel in homage to Star Wars. So, no light sabers but we do have magical Japanese blades that jump into the hand of the person most in tune with the analog of the force. There is a blind martial arts mentor. There is an evil plot to take over the galaxy. There is a young man who has to learn his potential as a warrior. Get the idea? But say this for it, it is not as mind-killingly dull as most of the Star Wars novelizations.
