Mace Windu's homeworld became real to me and Jacen's torture explored a depth of human insight I never knew. It sucks that Vergere, apparently was Sith and was planning Jacen's downfall. I kinda liked that sick little she-bird.

If this does go through, they better get someone good to do the translation.

I was in Beijing a few weeks back and while their selection of SFF was somewhat limited, I do recall a good splashing of Harry Potter and LotR.

This includes audio-books.
