Book Review: STAR WARS: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor

STAR WARS: LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR
DEL REY/BALLANTINE BOOKS

[Visit the "Star Wars Central" review page here.]

AUTHOR: Matthew Stover
COVER: David Seeley
ISBN: 978-0-345-47744-6; hardcover (December 30, 2008)
331pp, B&W, $27.00 U.S., $32.00 CAN

In the Star Wars® Expanded Universe (EU), there were apparently, at one point, six eras, measures of time in which the Star Wars stories were set.  The Expanded Universe was rendered moot a few years after the Walt Disney Company bought Star Wars' parent company, Lucasfilm Ltd. in December 2012.  The EU eras were Sith, Prequel (Star Wars: Episodes I-III), Classic (Star Wars: Episodes IV-VI), New Republic, New Jedi Order, and Legacy.

Star Wars: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, is a 2008 “New Republic” era novel from author Matthew Stover.  Stover has penned other Star Wars novels including the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith novelization.

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor opens six months after the events depicted in the film, Return of the Jedi.  The victorious Rebel Alliance is still struggling with the remnants of the Empire.  These surviving Imperial forces are determined to crush the rebellion, and now there is a new enemy.  Calling himself Lord Shadowspawn, he commands black-armored stormtroopers and launches raids and acts of piracy and terrorism against the New Republic, and their path of pillaging and wholesale slaughter leaves a wake of destruction.

General Luke Skywalker and the NRDF (New Republic Defense Forces) trace Lord Shadowspawn to a strategically advantageous base on the planet Mindor and launch a raid that actually plays directly in Shadowspawn’s hands.  Using ancient Sith knowledge and secret Imperial technology, Shadowspawn decimates the NRDF forces, and Luke Skywalker is seemingly lost during raid, possibly killed.  Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, See-Threepio, Artoo-Detoo, and the Rogue Squadron rush to the rescue, but are they in time to stop Shadowspawn’s power play for galaxy-wide dominion?

THE LOWDOWN:  It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve read a Star Wars novel (the last being Vector Prime), but I was ready for Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor.  For one thing, this book features many of my favorite characters from classic Star Wars.  In Mindor, author Matthew Stover seems to have written a book with two minds.

One of them is a space opera with non-stop action; the other is hard science fiction that is jargon-heavy and has enough dogfights to feel like a sci-fi flight simulator.  The former is a page-turner – an exciting read for a Star Wars fanboy like me.  The latter is sometimes dry, sometimes mildly interesting.  Luckily, both sides come together to create a potboiler of a novel by the middle of story.

The characterizations, in general, are good, and I especially like where Stover has Luke Skywalker at in terms of the post Return of the Jedi character.  Luke in this book is the confident last Jedi, the hero we saw in ROTJ, but he is conflicted about his place in the New Republic, especially about the lives of the men that are placed in his hands when he becomes a general.  As many reasons as there are why this book is fun to read, it’s Stover’s take on Luke Skywalker that makes Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor a quality Star Wars novel.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  People who read every Star Wars novel or who come close will, of course, want Star Wars: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor.  Fans of the original trilogy will definitely want to give this a read, precisely because the story takes place so close to the “Classic Era.”

Book Review: "88 Names"

88 NAMES
HARPERCOLLINS/Harper – @HarperCollins

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

AUTHOR: Matt Ruff – @bymattruff
ISBN: 978-0-06-285467-4; hardcover (March 17, 2020)
320pp, B&W, $27.99 U.S.

88 Names is a 2020 comedy, science fiction, and mystery novel from award-winning novelist, Matt Ruff (Lovecraft Country).  88 Names is an immersive virtual reality story, part cyber-mystery-thriller and part near-future speculation, set in a world in which identities can be worn and changed like clothing and things are not necessarily what they appear to be.

The lead character of 88 Names is John Chu, a “sherpa.”  As a “sherpa,” John is paid to guide players into the world of “massive multiplayer online role-playing games or “MMORPGs.”  The difference is that this online world is not the version we know today in the real world, but is instead a near-future, advanced VR (virtual-reality) version of online gaming.

The game in which John is most likely to guide players is the popular “Call to Wizardry.”  For a fee, John and his crew:  Jolene, Ray, and Anya, will provide players with a top-flight character, equipped with the best weapons and armor.  They will take players dragon-slaying in the “Realms of Asgarth,” hunting rogue starships in the Alpha Sector, or battling hordes of undead in a zombie apocalypse.

Chu’s newest client is the pseudonymous “Mr. Jones,” who claims to be a “wealthy, famous person” with powerful enemies.  Mr. Jones is offering John a ridiculous amount of money for a comprehensive tour of the world of MMORPGS because they “may have applications beyond the realm of mere entertainment” and such applications are “relevant” to Mr. Jones' profession... or so he says.

For John, this is a dream assignment, mainly because of the money.  As Mr. Jones' tour of online gaming gets underway, John begins to suspect that “Mr. Jones” is really North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un.  John also has to worry about “Ms. Pang,” an interloper in John's contract with Mr. Jones, and she may or may not be an agent of the People’s Republic of China.  As John's whirlwind online adventure with Mr. Jones eventually spills over into the real world, he must be more savvy than he has ever been.  Lives are at stake, and unlike the gaming world, the real world does not have a reset button.

THE LOWDOWN:  Matt Ruff's 2016 novel, Lovecraft Country, is one of my all-time favorite books.  Not only is it a brilliant fantasy novel, but it so captures the existential threat that America often is to African-Americans that one might assume that Matt Ruff is an African-American writer.  He is not, but that did not stop readers from being enthralled by Ruff and the “black magic” he weaved in that amazing great American novel.

While I was reading 88 Names, I found that it had elements that reminded me of a number of works of fiction that dealt with altered realities and VR.  That includes author William Gibson's landmark 1984 novel, Neuromancer; Christopher Nolan's 2010 film, Inception; Douglas Trumbull's 1983 film, Brainstorm; Alfred Bester's 1953 novel, The Demolished Man; David Cronenberg's 1999 film, eXistenZ; and maybe the film, Tron (1982).

I don't know if there is anything new or interesting about virtual-reality / VR that Ruff introduces in 88 Names.  I don't engage enough VR fiction to know.  In fact, the identity of the villain behind the machinations of “Mr. Jones” is pretty obvious early one, if for no other reason than the fact that John Chu suspects this person from the very beginning.

Thus, the fun I found in reading 88 Names came from John Chu.  Like the best novelists, Ruff has a gift for creating superb lead characters that grab the reader's interest.  Chu “takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin,” and, as I see it, he is open to the myriad possibilities of both the world real and VR, even if he can be occasionally clueless.  John is a guy I could follow from one novel to the next.  This novel's title, “88 Names,” apparently comes from the number of online identities that John has created, so he could be someone else in one of Ruff's upcoming novels, if he hasn't already appeared in an earlier Ruffian work of fiction.

Truthfully, I think that the audience for 88 Names is limited to two groups of people.  First are those readers interested in stories about living and playing in VR worlds.  The second group is composed of people who either are already fans of Matt Ruff or are just discovering him.  I fall in the latter category, and although I don't think 88 Names is a great novel, I will unashamedly recommend it to those readers looking for authors who aggressively demand a lot of their readers' imaginations.

POSSIBLE AUDIENCE:  Readers looking for works by visionary authors will want 88 Names.
