He may be known best for his four Star Wars novels, including the novelization of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith . He has also written several fantasy novels, including Iron Dawn and Jericho Moon . He has written four science-fiction/fantasy hybrid stories featuring a hero named Caine: Heroes Die , Blade of Tyshalle , and Caine Black Knife , with the most recent, Caine's Law , released April 4, 2012. Contents. Biography [ edit | edit source ] Stover attended Danville High School in Danville, Illinois, and graduated in 1979. He then graduated in 1983 from Drake University, and settled in Chicago for many years, before relocating to St. Petersburg, Florida. He is an avid martial artist and a student of the Degerberg Blend, a Jeet Kune Do concept that mixes approximately twenty-five different fighting arts from around the world. This combat style influences the way Stover writes his fight scenes, for which he has won considerable acclaim. He is also the founder and self-described "international grandmaster" of a parodic self-defense system he calls Huàn Dao ("Way of the Hedgehog"), which he has described as "self-defense for people too lazy to train and too smart to fight." He says the system was inspired by a passage from the ancient Greek soldier-poet Archilochus: "The fox is swift and clever and knows many tricks, yet still he is taken by the hounds. The hedgehog is slow and dull, and knows only one trick -- but it is a very good trick." He sometimes refers to Huan Dao as "Fatmattjitsu." His non- Star Wars novels have garnered a smaller but loyal audience, primarily for the Acts of Caine cycle. As for future Star Wars novels, Stover has said that he would be interested in writing the final adventure of the heroic trio of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia. ISBN 13: 9780451457585. The sequel to Iron Dawn continues the adventures of Barra the Pict, a mercenary soldier who, together with her brawny companion, Leucas, and the magician Kheperu, attempts to free the prince of Jebusai in the land of Canaan. Reprint. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. A band of Bronze Age mercenaries face the supreme enemy--Yahweh, the Lord of the nation of Israel--in Jericho Moon , the sequel to Iron Dawn . The barbarian princess Barra and her compatriots take on the job of rescuing the prince of Jebusi (Jerusalem) from the tribes of the Habiru. But rescuing him is the easy part--compared to the challenge of saving the entire city of Jebusi from the righteous slaughter that the Habiru war-leader Joshua and his thousands of warriors have planned. Barra can't turn down the role of savior; not only is the prince of Jebusi an attractive guy, but the city's goddess has made it clear that Barra is her chosen champion, and the city hasn't a chance without her. Jericho Moon is filled with thoroughly scary magical battles--think thunderbolts, hail of stones, and other demonstrations of godly wrath. While there is still some humorous by-play, as when Barra meets some barbarians from her homeland at a fancy party, this book is darker than Iron Dawn and the subject matter more risky. (Yet Yahweh does shine as a vengeful and merciless villain.) Jericho Moon is first-class fantasy entertainment, stuffed with likable characters, brawling adventures, and heroic struggles. --Blaise Selby. Jericho Moon.

  • How the Star Wars Saga Evokes the Creative Promise of Homosexual Love: a Gay-Centered Psychological Perspective
    How the Star Wars Saga Evokes the Creative Promise of Homosexual Love: A Gay-Centered Psychological Perspective Roger Kaufman Published in Finding the Force of the Star Wars Franchise: Fans, Merchandise and Critics Edited by John Shelton Lawrence and Mathew Kapell New York: Peter Lang Publishers, 2006 On the surface, it appears that few of the main characters in the six-film Star Wars space opera have any sexual romantic love in their lives. Only two heterosexual romances are featured in the movie saga, and the first of these, the fateful courtship of Padmé Naberrie (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), is portrayed as horribly destructive for the individuals involved and for their entire civilization. The second relationship, a fitful flirtation between Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), is distinctly secondary to the primary plot. Yet when the Star Wars film narrative is viewed from a gay-centered psychological perspective, a vibrant galaxy imbued with the propulsive, creative “intelligence” of archetypal homosexual love is revealed. It’s not clear to what extent George Lucas knowingly intended these themes of gay love to be a primary aspect of Star Wars symbolic meaning, but I will suggest that, whether the filmmaker is conscious of it or not, the distinctive allure of homosexual romance is so potent, inspiring, politically relevant and potentially curative that it has found its way from the depths of his mind to the scripts and screen. At the same time, I will highlight what I suspect are homophobic aspects of Lucas’s approach, which muffles and sometimes twists the depiction of same-sex love and its archetypal significance in the Star Wars universe.

  • THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD the Old Republic
    THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD The Old Republic. The Galactic Empire. The New Republic. What might have been. Every legend has its historian. By Nathan P. Butler – Gold Release Number 42 – 71st SWT Release – 01/01/07 _________________________________________ Officially hosted on Nathan P. Butler’s website __at http://www.starwarsfanworks.com/timeline ____________ APPENDICES “Look at the size of that thing!” --Wedge Antilles Dedicated to All the loyal SWT readers who have helped keep the project alive since 1997. -----|----- -Fellow Star Wars fans- Now that you’ve spent time exploring the Star Wars Timeline Gold’s primary document, you’re probably curious as to what other “goodies” the project has in store. Here, you’ll find the answer to that query. This file, the Appendices, features numerous small sections, featuring topics ranging from G-Level and Apocryphal (N-Level) Canon timelines, rosters for Rogue Squadron and other groups, information relating to the Star Wars Timeline Project’s growth, and more. This was the fourth file created for the Star Wars Timeline Gold. The project originally began as the primary document with the Official Continuity Timeline, then later spawned a Fan Fiction Supplement (now discontinued) and an Apocrypha Supplement (now merged into this file). The Appendices came last, but with its wide array of different features, it has survived to stand on its own alongside the primary document. I hope you find your time spent reading through it well spent. Welcome to the Star Wars Timeline Gold Appendices. --Nathan Butler January 1, 2007 All titles and storylines below are trademark/copyright their respective publishers and/or creators.

Publishing the New Jedi Order Media Industries Collaboration and the Franchise Novel Sean Guynes In April 2014, two years after Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm and its constellation of intellectual properties (IP) in October 2012, Lucasfilm/ Disney announced plans to create the Lucasfilm Story Group that would establish a single canon for the franchise and coordinate world-building efforts across all forthcoming narrative media. Establishing a “true canon—a single, cohesive Star Wars storyline” meant jettisoning the EU of comics, video games, television shows, made-for-TV movies, and novels created since 1977. As the report of the Story Group’s new canon project attested, the EU was largely conceived of as those adventures in the Star Wars storyworld taking place “beyond what is seen on the screen.”1 To save those off-screen stories, the EU was recycled in the new Legends publishing line to encourage continued revenue from no-longer-canonical sources.
