It won't be Traviss, but that's a different answer. <br /><br />Problem is that with the suggested Mandlorian history changes and the fact that what Karen wrote was based on a particular history, I'm skeptical that the story can be told the right way.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094675116398769415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-45366547799033466472009-12-12T16:37:51.194-06:002009-12-12T16:37:51.194-06:00Agreed with all of the above.

I've read all six books of the Wess'har series, as well as the first Gears of War novelization she did, along with all of the RC/IC books. Her leaving the series hanging like this really bothers me, and I hope that the people/groups out there that call themselves "Mandalorians" will have the fortitude to stand up and tell LFL to not bother having another author continue the series, because it'll be absolute garbage and not worth the ink it's printed with.TD-0013http://www.adpov.netnoreply@blogger.com
