Star Wars EU Review

The Old Republic: Revan by Drew Karpyshyn Revan has quickly become one of my favorite books, not only in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, but among mainstream fiction as well.

Bobby Kennedy I have no grand delusions about the Kennedy’s. Camelot was a myth. There was scheming and dirty deals made. But there is something that enchants me about RFK.
