STAR WARS Shatterpoint

Close your eyes, and there is Mace Windu (portrayed on the silver screen by Samuel L. Jackson). Narrator Jonathan Davis's voice is perfect, and behind him are the first-class special effects and music that characterize most Star Wars audiobooks. Even better, the writing is also first-class--this is a descent into the heart of darkness for one of the most powerful Jedi masters, who in Stover's hands comes alive with the complexity of a spiritual and physical man. The novel is the first of a projected Clone Wars series, and it's a winner all around. There are no scenes of sex; there is, however, war. D.R.W.
