Finished reading #CloakedDeception by #TimothyZahn last night. Mostly disappointed by it, but can't quite articulate why.

Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn

Thrawn is a highly creative blue humanoid smurf-like creature from the Star Wars universe.

You can’t take this book too seriously, knowing it’s part of the Star Wars universe. However, Zahn gave his best here and the story significantly exceeded my expectations. It is a fine quality space opera, with a charismatic main character, whose superpower is his military skill. He’s a mix of Ender and the Stainless Steel Rat.

The supporting characters aren’t two dimensional and I suspect we’ll see some of them again in the sequels. Vanto, in particular, could have his own book. There is no mention of the force anywhere, no midichlorians, no magic at all. The storm troopers are able to hit their targets. This is an improvement over the usual trope in the Star Wars universe I’ve seen so far, where the final battle is decided by use of the force, rather than skill.

The print quality is superb and despite that it’s possibly targeting teenage readers, I enjoyed it. 5*/5 and will order the continuation soon.

Avatar and Manta’s Gift

This is kind of funny. When I watched the movie Avatar way back in 2009, I was struck by the similarity of the premise to Timothy Zahn’s 2002 novel Manta’s Gift:

The main character, a human who’s suffered a severely disabling injury, is offered the chance to place his consciousness into an alien body and report back to the human expedition. Over the course of his time there, he finds that he has more in common with the aliens than with the humans who sent him, and pushes back against their exploitative agenda.

OK, so it’s a brain transplant, not a neural link, and it’s manta-like beings who live in the groundless atmosphere of Jupiter, not humanoids who are part of a literal Gaia.

I just discovered that the book was re-issued in 2020 (Timothy Zahn, 2002) with a tagline describing it as “A gripping first-contact adventure for fans of James Cameron’s Avatar…”

A quotation from Timothy Zahn

All beings possess imagination to varying degrees. It can be encouraged and nurtured, or can sometimes shine out in moments of stress. But curiosity is a choice. Some wish to have it. Others don’t.

Timothy Zahn (b. 1951) American writer
Thrawn Ascendancy, Book 1: Chaos Rising, ch. 15 [Thrawn] (2020)

Episode 6 von #Ahsoka fand ja selbst ich mal gar nicht so schlecht. Obwohl wieder der Gedanke aufkommt, dass ich #Thrawn lieber in meiner Wunschtraum Verfilmung der #ThrawnTrilogie von #TimothyZahn gesehen hätte.

Erquickend zu lesen wie sich Profis damals Zukunft/unsere Gegenwart vorstellten.
