The three part series starts out when Kyle is at the Academy and moves on to the events of Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2. What is really interesting to find out is the back story of Kyle and how events from the game is different compared to the book. Lando, Luke & Leia are involved in the story some what but have minor roles. People living on the planet where The Valley of the Jedi was located, not to mention the floating alien protectors of the Valley. I think the audio book just gives more to the story which we all pretty much grew up playing. I understand why LucasArts cut out alot of the story and im glad they did. But know older listening to books makes me respect the story even more.

 

So if anyone has read the book/listened to the audio books what is your thoughts on it?

The Mod Project forums are for mod related threads only. Though this pertains to Dark Forces II, it does not have anything to do with the JKA mod. 

 

Moved to general discussion.

I might read it sometime, I can't stand audiobooks.

I did, a long time ago though.

I've skimmed through the pictures of the books before, I've never really read them though.

 

I didn't even know they came in audio form as well. There are likely only two audio Star Wars books I have heard those being Hard Merchandise and Crimson Empire.

I read your thread a while ago but just listened to the first part of Soldier of the Empire. Its really well done, more like a radio show. Thanks for posting the link.  I'm on the second part now listening while I'm mapping.
