Read For Free Army Of Terror (Star Wars: Galaxy Of Fear, #6) Illustrated By John Whitman Shared As Copy

worst of the series but still a good book Hoole's past comes to collect, and a familiar enemy returns, . .

I appreciate the depth to Hoole's story and the handful of twists that I didn't manage to see coming, Army of Terror brings to a conclusion the overarching story that Whitman has been teasing since the second book, Each book up to and including this one has been about an experiment that an Imperial scientist has developed to take over the universe, Here, Zak and Tash stumble across the final experiment, which involves developing an army of ultrastrong warriors, Who the scientist is, and how he relates to them, is as surprising as the mystery itself,

Still, the mystery is selfevident, Anyone paying attention would know where the threat lies, and it's odd that Zak and Tash are oblivious to it, especially when you consider Tash's Forcesensitivity, Early in the book, I thought maybe Whitman was playing with the reader's expectations, and creating a red herring, but nope, what you see is what you get, I was a little disappointed, but it's my own fault he hasn't taken that approach to a story thus far in the series, so I don't know why I would have thought he was starting here.


Whitman brings the larger story to a close here, which is odd since there are still six books left in the series, I'm curious to see how he approaches the final books, I wouldn't be surprised if he attempted another connection between the books, but since each book has still been an individual adventure, it would be better if he skipped that part all together.
At least readers won't be distracted by their odd beginnings and endings, This one gets four based PURELY on the fact that the monster on the cover is truly horrifying and has stuck with me since I was a small child.
Coming back to the book as an adult, it has a telegraphed and tropey plot like all of the others in this series, but sometimes you're just gonna be in the mood for campy horror that also happens to take place in space.
This was another excellent outing in this series! It felt like the conclusion to the first arc as well, which is nice, As cool as the Project Starscream storyline was, I dont know it couldve lasted another six books, so Im glad were going to move onto something different presumably in book seven.


This was by far the darkest book in the series, and I loved it! We get out main Star Wars heroes making a return to the series, but playing a much bigger role, which was so much fun to see.
Whitman writes them believably, as well, which is really important to someone who spends a lot of time with the franchise, The Force plays a big role here as well, and I love how theyre developing that across the series, It was interesting to see that Whitman didnt really do his normal thing here, which is how he likes to rotate his main character, Typically, odd numbered books have Tash as the main POV, and even numbered are Zak, This book, though, was again mostly from Tashs POV, It makes sense, though, given what this story was about and how the last one played out,

This is just an excellent middle grade series, I was able to find book seven, but these are getting more expensive the later in the series I get, so Im not sure how many more books Ill be able to complete in the series, but Im going to try to do as many as I can.

Background: Army of Terror was written by sitelinkJohn Whitman and published in September, It is the sixth in the Galaxy of Fear series, all written by Whitman,

Army of Terror takes placemonths after the Battle of Yavin, picking up right where Ghost of the Jedi left off sitelinkmy review.
The main characters are Tash and Zak Arranda, their adoptive Uncle Hoole, and their droid caretaker, DV, plus the recurring villain Borborygmus Gog, and Darth Vader, There are also appearances by Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Artoo, and Threepio, Most of the story takes place on Kiva,

Summary: Still on the run from the Empire, Hoole and his wards race to the heart of Project Starscream to ensure that it has been completely destroyed.
But they aren't the only ones on the planet, . . The Rebels are there as well, with the Empire hot on their heels, And there are other, even more sinister forces in play, as well, as Hoole's mysterious past returns to haunt them all, Project Starscream still has one last card to play, and the whole galaxy may end up with a losing hand,

: This really does feel like a fitting climax to everything the series has built up to this point, So much so that I even forgive them trotting out all the main movie heroes again for this big finale, I assume that this was the original planned end of the series, and its success was what led to further volumes, but I'm really happy they didn't

keep dragging this particular arc out across several more books.
This is a good conclusion,

I guess I don't want to say a whole lot more about it lest I spoil anything, I did accidentally spoil one major revelation for myself because Wookiepedia was a little too informative, but it was the sort of revelation that wouldn't have been that huge of a surprise by the time it was announced instory anyway.
Well, technically I also spoiled a second thing, but that's just because anytime a baby shows up in a story like this, I feel like as a parent I need to know right away how that's going to turn out so I can be mentally prepared.
Not that I expect anything too traumatic from a YA series, but it's just purely reflexive,

Anyway, I was quite satisfied with the way this book tied up a lot of threads that have been dangling for multiple books now, I was satisfied with the level of thrills and chills, I was satisfied with the plot, Just really satisfactory all around, both as part of the series, and as a standalone story, I'm excited to see where the series goes from here, . . hopefully not straight into another multibook arc, This one was fine, but I'd like to see something else,

B Picked this book up at a used book store for nostalgia, It was a fun quick read, Ill have to keep my eyes out for the rest of them, This book is the culmination of the first story arc of this series, We learn more about Hoole's mysterious past, and we finally discover what project Starscream is all about,

I have a question, Why does John Whitman kill so many children,

So this book is pretty creepy and I think they do Okay with explaining how they get away from Vader,

Better than the previous two, At last we come to the disclosure of Hoole's past and see what was Gog up to, Also an all star rebel and imperial cast, The series is slowly getting better, This wrapped up the first story line, I just hope the nextbooks continue to improve, I loved this series as a child, The characters of Tash, Zak, Uncle Hoole, and Deevee have stayed with me ever since,

I happened to track down a PDF copy of Army of Terror, the book I remembered most vividly, and reread it in an afternoon, The writing style is very juvenile, but I got used to it,

It was a nice trip down memory lane, and it reminded me of why I loved the series, This was its high point, when shit got real and consequences were felt, Hoole was my favorite character, and the revelation that he had worked with Gog on Project Starscream was electric, It was like when Tobias was revealed to be Elfangor's son in sitelinkThe Pretender, or when Edric started to get into the Dark Arts in sitelinkThe Enchanted Quest.
Gnarly, man!

There are moments of tensiondiffusing humor amid the body horror and mad scientist shenanigans, Characters from the movies make an appearance as they often did throughout the series, and while it's just as hokey as I remember it being, I couldn't help but enjoy it now.
It's Goosebumpsesque kiddie horror schlock, but it's damned good schlock,

Sigh I wish the Disney movies had been like this, Everyone, including Vader, heads to Kiva, the headquarters of Project Starscream, The first hint of the planet's suspicious background is when Hoole gets angry that DVtells the siblings about Kiva, A scientist named Mammon destroyed the inhabitants of the planet,

At first it doesn't seem like it had been less thanyears between the accident and the current time since it talks about Palpatine being Emperor, but that's later cleared because it does fit in the proper timeframe.


Gog comes, the Rebels come and save the day, the kids amp Deevee escape Vader and it's just a jumble of things that don't always make sense, This is the part of the Galaxy of Fear trilogy, where some revelations about one of the protagonists are made, Although it was interesting to read about them, the revelations were still quite predictable, In addition, the actual manifestation of the Project Starscream turned out to be rather weak and somewhat disappointing, SM This was fast paced and had some great guest, The group travels to a planet that was once the home of deadly experiments, The kids also learn the full origin story of Uncle Hoole, Hoole, Tash, Zak and Deevee head for Kiva, a dark world on the Outer Rim, Somehow, Hoole knows that is where Gog's laboratory lies, There, Tash and Zak will finally learn Hoole's terrible secret, And they'll come facetoface with a horrifying new creature, the very first soldier in Gog's Army of Terror, The creature is a combination of every one of Gog's horrible experiments, and there is only one way to defeat him, Can Tash and Zak figure out the answer before it's too late,
