Star Wars Stacks 14: The Old Republic: Deceived

02/21/15 • 83 min

In episode 13, we review the second novel based on Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, Deceived, written by Paul S. Kemp (Publication Date: March 22, 2011).

Not much in the news aside from a big spoiler dump (which we won't post, find it if you'd like to read it) and rumours that J.J. Abrams is petitioning Disney to move the release date to summer.

Next, we give our spoiler-free synopsis and general opinions on the book.

Once that is out of the way, we get into the spoiler section where we get down and dirty with the story. If you haven't finished the book, or haven't started it yet, listen to the first half of this episode then pause it when you hear the alert. Return to this episode of the Star Wars Stacks when you have finished the novel and are ready to hear the full discussion.

Because this book takes place in the time frame of the MMO, there is a great trailer which illustrates a major event at the beginning of the book, see it here: http://youtu.be/wOLANti8UCY

In two weeks we'll have our usual general disucssion show. After that we'll be disucssing our next book: Heir to the Jedi by Kevin Hearne. This is the next book to come out in the "new" Star Wars canon so we're excited to read it!
