After you've seen the Star Wars movies enough times, certain unmistakable sounds get hardwired into your brain: the warbly snicker-snack of dueling lightsabers; the signature fwoosh of hatches opening and closing (which Star Trek never did as well); the sharp, metallic bangs of blaster fire; even Han's trademark "yee-haw!" as he and Chewie lay into Imperial ships with the Falcon. If any advantage sets audio CDs apart as the format for telling dramatized Star Wars stories, this is it. In the Star Wars: Dark Forces Collector's Trilogy, all these audio tropes get employed to their full effect--along with John Williams's stirring score, of course--to convincingly transport you to that galaxy far, far away.
A CD drama based on a graphic novel series, based on a video game, and based on ... well, Star Wars, may sound a little suspect, but even derivative work can excel when the original source is strong (Lucas), the writing skills proficient (long-time sci-fi author William Dietz), and the voice talent able (dozens of workman actors, with credits ranging from The Fugitive to Shine to Fargo).
The story arc of the set's three Dark Forces stories (Soldier for the Empire, Rebel Agent, Jedi Knight) spans roughly the same time period as New Hope-Empire-Jedi, following Kyle Katarn, a young Imperial officer turned Rebel operative turned (nearly) Jedi Knight. Old favorites like Han, Lando, Luke, and even Chewie pass in and out of the story, a classic Star Wars tale of honor, love, loyalty, and revenge, which sets Kyle against the evil Imperial pretender Lord Jerec. Good fun, well done. (Running time: six hours over six discs; two discs per title.) --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Kyle Katarn has joined the ranks of legendary Star Wars heroes such as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. A timeless adventure of revenge and honor, the trilogy is set in a shimmering universe of sound that only CD technology can fully capture. In Soldier for the Empire, Kyle Katarn, having just graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, learns of his father's murder. On his way home, he meets a Rebel agent, learns the ugly truth about the way in which his father died, and swears revenge. In Rebel Agent, Kyle learns more about what his father found in the Valley of the Jedi that ultimately led to his death. Kyle finally earns his Knighthood as a Jedi, and the stage is set for him to avenge his father's death and stop the Dark Jedi from taking control of the source of energy that lies underneath the Valley. Jedi Knight, the exciting conclusion to the series. In Jedi Knight Jerec, the Dark Jedi, brings his forces to Ruusan in the final part of his search for the Valley of the Jedi. Destroying anything that gets in his way, Jerec reaches the Valley just ahead of Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors. With the help fo the indigenous inhabitants of the planet, Kyle and Jan confront Jerec's Jedi and prepare for a final showdown with Jerec. If Jerec defeats Kyle, the unlimited power contained in the Valley will enable him to rule the galaxy. Are Kyle's untrained Jedi powers enough to defeat Jerec?

Star Wars, Dark Forces Collector's Trilogy book cd's.......2007-03-19
Very well made, interesting and easy to follow. Very good sound effects in the back ground to go along with the story telling. If you played any of the games in relation, you will enjoy it even more. I'm glad I bought this and I already went through it twice.
Barely worth it.......2006-02-01
A good idea crushed by weak radio style acting. If the stories were simply narated and not played as though they were old time radio broadcasts, the stories themselves are interesting. Painfull to listen to in the car driving b/c of poor volume in recording. Get some othe Star Wars audio book.
Really not THAT bad.......2004-09-01
It's a well-done audio play. It has all the sound effects of the original radio dramas, used to wonderful effect. Like most Star Wars works, it re-uses the music from the movies but that isn't a bad thing. Each piece is used exactly where you'd expect to hear it. The story is of a young imperial officer discovering that the Empire isn't on the side of the angels and that he shares with Luke Sykwalker a claim to the legacy of the Jedi.
The ONLY complaint that I'd have about this is that it strays from the books it's adapted from and the games the books are based on. In other words, some of the most dramatic aspects of the story are left out. Example: Instead of the old Jedi Knight Rahn holding his own against all the Dark Jedi in his final battle, Jerec (chief baddie) just kills him without a fight. There are a few other examples of incredibly anti-climatic re-tellings of certain aspects of the story... but overall it really isn't that bad. I bought it, and if you've played the games (and you should since Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II features live actors in movie cut scenes that all together could be considered Episode VII) then it's a fun way to revisit a great story. "A Self-taught Jedi" indeed. Kudos.
Dark Forces audio dramatization.......2003-01-22
I've always been a huge fan of Star Wars and own quite a few audio books and dramatizations including the wonderful Star Wars trilogy dramatized radio broadcast, the Approaching Storm, Darth Maul, Episode 1, Episode 2, Rogue Planet, etc.
Judging from reviews I read, I was expecting this to be at least a reasonable facsimile of the original trilogy radio dramatization but it definitely is not that. I felt the writing, acting and even the story concept poor. If you're anxious for something good to listen to and haven't tried the other Star Wars books on audio cd yet, give those a shot first and see if you can pick this up used. This can be mildly entertaining at times but it's certainly not worth full price.
Among all of my Star Wars audio books and/or dramatizations, this one comes in dead last... I'd recommend venturing into non-Star Wars audio books like Frank Herbert's Dune before dropping any money on this selection.
Excellent! same style & quality of the original radio drama.......2000-05-07
These CDs were absolutely wonderful. for those of you who have listened to the original Star Wars radio drama and wished you could have more star wars stories in the same fashion. HERE IT IS! . for those of you new to the star wars universe....or have not heard the original radio drama, this is a full cast audio production with sound effects. This is well written and acted. the story is excellent. a must have for any star wars fan. great for tips on the road in the car.

Good story, muted art work.......2004-04-28
The is the second of the Dark forces trilogy, telling us the story of Kyle Katarn. Kyle is both an action figure and the guy who captured the death star plans. This was originally a game but you shouldn't hold that against this book. I didn't like the style of the art work, as it was done in a muted washed out looking style. This trilogy should be part of your collection
A Series You Just Can't Afford To Miss!.......2002-08-12
I bought this graphic novel on a whim! I'm an avid Star Wars fan and am willing to read anything Star Wars. However, graphic novels tend to be expensive, so I usually just satisfy my Star Wars cravings with a regualr novel. I saw my opportunity to check out this portion of the Dark Forces trilogy, based upon the Dark Forces video game, when it was marked down as a special deal in a local store. I figured that if I didn't like the novel, I didn't pay much for it, and I can sell it off. Well, I can say with confidence that there is no way I'm going to sell this graphic novel!...
...Not only will you find the story entertaining, but the artwork is amazing. The novel has 25 lithograph-style pictures beautifully done by Ezra Tucker. The story is full of action and you'll find yourself rooting for Kyle and his partner Jan. I find myself wanting to get a hold of the rest of the series! Definitely a trilogy worth checking out!
Storyline for the Computer Game.......2002-06-05
I kept putting off purchasing the Dark Forces graphic novel series, but I finally gave in. I was pleased with what I found. This is the first volume of the trilogy and I enjoyed it immensely. Good artwork complemented a description of the Kyle Katarn's beginnings as an Imperial cadet. We see Kyle struggling with his morals as he becomes increasingly against Imperial rule and, once he finds out the Imperials killed his father, joins the Rebel Alliance. The story weaves into the first level of the Dark Forces PC game and concludes with the Rebels obtaining the schematics of the first Death Star. I recommend the whole Dark Forces series. It was very fun to see Kyle Katarn outside of a PC.

A Knight shall come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners go free."
Like The Empire Strikes Back, Rebel Agent is the middle story in an epic Star Wars trilogy (in this case, the illustrated Dark Forces trilogy that begins with Soldier for the Empire and ends with Jedi Knight). As a middle story, it is written with the expectation that you already know that the hero, Kyle Katarn, is an ex-storm trooper who defected to the Rebellion after his father was brutally murdered by the Empire. But Rebel Agent actually begins with a flashback to the years before the action of the trilogy. Kyle's father, Morgan, stumbles onto the legendary Valley of the Jedi while fleeing an Imperial crackdown on Sulon. The Valley is a resting place for thousands of ancient Jedi souls, and its potential power as a tool for good or evil will remind readers of the ark of the covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark. After making a map, Morgan hides his discovery since he knows that the ascendant Empire is likely to make use of it long before the struggling rebels can.
The story then shifts to the days after Kyle's first successful rebel mission (detailed in Soldier for the Empire). From a scheming droid named 8t88--and through communications with a ghostly Jedi named Rahn--Kyle learns of the Valley and is drafted by Luke Skywalker and Mon Mothma to find his father's map at all costs. The action intensifies as Kyle--now a Jedi-in-training--races with Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi to uncover the coordinates of the Valley.
One of the best parts of Dark Forces is Dietz's characterization of the Empire, and in this volume it is the power-hungry droid, 8t88, who steals the show with lines like: "The malfunction is in your skull, a difficult place to make repairs.... A CPU makes more sense." In the end, though, the book is not as strong as the first and third volumes. One wonders, for example, why the budding romance between Kyle and Jan is interrupted by their long separations. Also, while Ezra Tucker's paintings perfectly capture the tattooed, lined face of Jerec, they are often cartoonish in comparison to Dean Williams's hyperrealism in the first volume. And the ending finds almost nothing resolved: you'll want Jedi Knight in hand right away when you turn the last page of Rebel Agent. --Patrick O'Kelley
Book Description
The phenomenal success of the 1997 release of the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition proved beyond a doubt the timeless power of the much-loved story about the struggle between good and evil. Original enthusiasts of the films rushed to the theaters to see them again, joined by a whole new generation--young people discovering the wonder of George Lucas's vision for the first time. For those Star Wars fans--old and new--Rebel Agent, the second of the Dark Forces trilogy, adds a fascinating sidebar to the story told in the films. Kyle Katarn, former Imperial trainee, has put his past behind him. Now partnered with Jan Ors, the woman who recruited him, he is a valued member of the Rebel Alliance. Yet Katarn has one piece of unfinished business more important to him than his next assignment: tracking down the Dark Jedi Jerec, the man who killed his father. But in his search for Jerec, he finds instead what the Dark Jedi himself is after--the location of the fabled Valley of the Jedi. The power that waits there is beyond measure, and Jerec will stop at nothing to be the first to reach it. It is written, Luke Skywalker said, that a Knight will come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners go free. In Rebel Agent, Kyle Katarn will discover that he is that Knight.

Great Audio Book!.......2005-05-12
This review covers the audio cassette book (2 tapes, 2.5+ hours). The music score was great, the sound effects terrific, and the acting very good. The plot...well that could take some time finding, but remember episdoe IV! Anyway, I really enjoyed this story. It takes place at about the same time as Ep. IV, and covers things more from the perspective of the Empire. Well worth the purchase price. I will have to see about getting the next two in the series. I want to see what happens!
Reads like a bullet, and leaves nothing out........2002-05-09
I had this book for a year before I actually read it. Since I primarily bought it for the great, poster quality, painted, full page illustrations it didn't matter. Besides I was under the impression that it was a "juvenile", a kid's book. Yeah, right, this is about as much a juvenile as is Heilein's _Starship Troopers_. There are some very gritty combat scenes here- and very well developed characters of depth. This is amazing in a novella of less than 120 pages (after you subtract the illustration pages.) There are hack writers out there that would have told this same story in 300 or 400, or more, pages, but Dietz does it in less than 120 without ommitting any detail, atmosphere, or continuity. That's the mark of a very skilled writer. Combined with the cover quality illustrations this book is practically a cinema quality experience all by itself. Moreover, I had not read the first two books of the trilogy, nor played the games, yet the book held together on its own.
Another thing, for a book that is so good on the combat and technical atmosphere, the metaphysics are also very satisfying. The tale of Lord Hoth and the Army of Light is truly worthy of the best of the Star Wars mythos. Indeed, it could almost be a grand finale in itself.
As a measure of how "in" to this I got, I finally ordered that universal remote shaped like a light saber for the TV. Hey, I needed a new remote anyway....
D2 Differenceý.......2000-12-14
In this final installment of the trilogy, just as the contributors changed from the first to the second book, a change was again made, and this makes the final installment the superior of the 3. Artist David Dorman was selected to illustrate this book; since he is a fixture in the Star Wars Realm he brings more credibility to the work. Mr. Dorman, or one of the other long-term illustrators should have been involved in this project from beginning to end.
The other basic change was the involvement of core characters from Star Wars that everybody who is a fan is familiar with. The role-playing games and the video games are widely played and very popular. However the audience is smaller, and as this series found out, it is not large enough to support a stand-alone series of novellas, which are overpriced, and repetitive.
The problem with this series is there is just too much of a gap between the Star Wars Universe as we know it as moviegoers and book readers, and these adaptations from the role-playing and video experiences. There is a way to greatly improve the readability of this series if you want to make it part of your collection.
"Mastadge" has a great list of some of the illustrated soft cover books that cover the background and the ancient portions of the Jedi and Sith Histories. They cover material you will find nowhere else, and they will add a new dimension to your library, and to your understanding of this ongoing epic.
Some of the titles to check out are, "Knights Of The Old Republic", "Dark Lords Of The Sith", and "The Sith War". They are all available through Amazon, and while I have enjoyed many of them, I have never reviewed the works. But as I said, Mastadge has reviewed almost all the varieties of Star Wars writing, and the list he has put together is well done.
Out Of Step.......2000-11-30
It has been years since I originally read this series, this particular episode, "Rebel Agent", is the second in a three-part cycle. This trilogy is based upon the role-playing games and I believe some of the video experiences. However they are out of synch with the rest of "Star Wars", and this is an issue.
Previously I have commented on how seamlessly the books that now approach 200 in number have fit together, how all were worth the reading time, for bits and pieces of history were to be gleaned from their review. This particular cycle offered full-page paintings by a noted artist of the Science Fiction Genre, and while some readers would have preferred their mind's eye, I think they are good, if inconsistent. Specifically the image that is supposed to portray Princess Leia looks like her less than attractive sister. There is no sister, and there should not have been this image.
At 128 pages in length, backtracking the story as if the reader decided to start in the middle is simply wrong. Star Wars readers tend to read everything, and if the story is weak, or too brief, then perhaps there should be a different story.
Characters like Boba Fett have developed their personalities over the decades, and the version of Fett in this book reads as though the writer never read a word about this character before. Fett sounds like a bad lounge act. Fett actually sounds like someone else dressed in the Mandalorian Armor. This caricature speaks more in this book, than in a dozen other novels, and trite is being kind as to the dialogue.
If someone were to start with this series after viewing the movies, they would be correct in feeling lost. These books populate the galaxy with Dark Side Jedi at every turn. They must have been hiding in the movies.
There is one interesting bit as to Yoda's history, and it may sound strange to some, but if you are as addicted to this world of George Lucas as I am, it nearly justifies the balance.
The best of the Trilogy.......2000-03-29
This book continues the adventures of Kyle Katarn, a young man who is training to become a Jedi. It is by far the best of the trilogy, which began with Soldier for the Empire. The novella is generally pretty good, connecting chapters (levels in the game) pretty well, and developing on Jan and Kyle properly. The plot is not too bad, and the illustrations are great. The drawings alone make this the best of the series, but the plot thickens as a bonus. Still, the novella fails to improve on some of the other books failings. The long and drawn out lightsaber battles in the movies and the game are shortened to just a few paragraphs in length, if that. Maw's duel with the young Kyle lasted no more than three sentences, and Selonia somehow manages to lose a battle she clearly has the upper hand in. While not quite as dissappointing (or as humorous) as Gorc's demise in Rebel Agent, the battles are still far too short for their own good, and a character who ends up dying early is developed almost as fully as Jan and Kyle are. Still, this is probably the best of the series, and a fine ending the trilogy. If you don't have the other two, buy this one first to see if this is the kind of book you want. It won't be very hard to catch on to what happened in the others, and the money you save if you don't like it will be worth it.

wonderful overview of the paths to realizing our holiness........1999-06-04
Joan Borysenko does a remarkable job of integrating her psychological training, her experiences at Harvard's wellness clinic, and her own spiritual realization to make the different paths to becoming a Mystic clear to the reader. She also shows why our paths differ, thus making the reader more accepting of other people on different paths. She even includes suggestions for people on each path so that we may avoid common pitfals and misperceptions. I recommend this book to anyone who is honestly willing to learn about mysticism and Spirituality.
Book Description
Joan tells you how a mystical moment can strike at any time. When you are fully present in the moment: you will be filled with a sense of awe, and beauty, and feel fully connected with the universe.

Higher-Self Help.......2007-05-13
I am a college student and I read this for a Transpersonal Psychology class. It is a wonderful self-help book with a spiritual focus. It does not concentrate on any one religion. It mentions several different religions and spiritual practices only to illustrate the universality of their principles. The book has some good exercises. If you deeply identify with any of the pathways, the practices suggested will be highly beneifical to you. This author isn't really saying anything new, but she has organized basic spiritual principles/practices in a very user friendly way.
Seven paths toward union with the One.......2006-06-17
This remarkable little book is a concise distillation of seven different, traditional paths by which mystics have attempted to achieve divine union. Examples are used from many different cultures and religious traditions: Christian, Jewish, Sufi, Taoist, Buddhist, Native American, Hindu, etc. The fact that seven paths are delineated is not arbitrary, for seven is the number of spirituality, wisdom, magic, perfect order, and the macrocosm. There are seven notes to the musical scale, seven heavens, seven pillars of wisdom, seven charisms, seven branches to the tree of life, seven sacred directions to the medicine wheel, seven chakras....
Path One is the path of earth and home- that of the everyday mystic. This is the nature-centered path of those that see heaven reflected in the natural world.
Path Two is the path of creativity and abundance- that of generosity of the spirit. This is the path of tantric yoga, the divine marriage, of losing- and finding- yourself through selflessly giving yourself to another.
Path Three is the path of "how can I help"- the passion to serve. This is the path of selfless service to all of humanity as potential co-creators with God.
Path Four is the way of the heart- bridging earth and heaven. This is the inner path of the heart where one truly loves the Divine with all their heart, soul, and mind (bhakti yoga.) The practitioner here literally becomes the meeting point of heaven and earth through pure devotion.
Path Five is that of discipline, ethics, and will- thy will, not mine, be done. This is raja yoga- God-Union by following specific moral principles or laws that preserve the community, honor life, and lead to personal growth. It is an attempt to put our human will into accordance with the divine will through discipline and obedience.
Path Six is the opening of the wisdom eye- contemplation and transformation. This jnana yoga, the path of insight. This is the path of the dark night of the soul- of deep introspection- and of ego death. Ideally, it is the path of spiritual death and rebirth.
Path Seven is the way of faith- paradox and grace. This is God-union given as a gift from above, and not as a "reward" for works. Paradoxically this deals with both perfect faith in the Divine, as well as, the gift of absolute knowledge in the reality of the Divine.
The author points out that no one path is more advanced than another. Nor are they mutually exclusive for one may represent our primary path (the path on which we fulfill our soul purpose), while another is our secondary (that which heals an inner wound and supports our primary.) Our individual personality, stage of personal growth, and cultural background determines what path we are on. Yet the goal of all these paths is ultimately the same whether we call it God-Union, the Great Mystery, or the Tao.
Discover Your Own Inner Mystic.......2005-08-15
The Ways of the Mystic is a delightful and easy to read book describing a variety of ways to connect to the Divine. She outlines seven specific paths which correspond to the chakras and the directions on the medicine wheel - Path 1) Earth and Home: The Everyday Mystic (first chakra); Path 2) Creativity and Abundance: Generosity of Spirit (second chakra); Path 3) How Can I Help?: The Passion To Serve (third chakra); Path 4) The Way of the Heart: Bridging Earth and Heaven (fourth chakra); Path 5) Discipline, Ethics and Will: Thy Will, Not Mine, Be Done (fifth chakra); Path 6) Opening the Wisdom Eye: Contemplation and Transformation (sixth chakra) and Path 7) The Way of Faith: Paradox and Grace (seventh chakra).
Each chapter starts with an anecdotal story connected with that particular path, gives a description of that path, then offers suggestions to better connect with that particular path.
No matter what your path, The Ways of the Mystic is an inspirational book that offers easy to use guidelines to spiritual development while imparting that "just as many rivers lead to the sea, there are many paths to God."
Finding your spiritual practices.......2004-04-05
This is a good book, it uses the chakras to describe which spiritual practices are good for people. It was good, but I was honestly expecting a little more detail, and information
Finally Accessible.......2000-04-23
Though certainly old information recast in a more practical language fairly accessible to nearly any reader, Boryshenko's treatment of the different roads to a mystical understanding of the divine has never been more honestly and openly discussed than in her little book. Clear, readable, and accurate, the paths to enlightenment, inspiration, and understanding are well lit -- encouraging the reader to try one or several on for size. Highly recommended. As a therapist, I use her format to help clients find a way to understand spirituality as the ultimate search for meaning and purpose. As a seeker, I find her clarity refreshing in my own search.

Book Description
Many Christians go through this life without finding their place in God's Kingdom or without finding their calling. In essence they live an unfulfilled spiritual life. They are encouraged to get involved in a ministry where they will find fulfillment in their Christian walk. Many go from ministry to ministry only to find something is lacking. They are encouraged to just be faithful in the ministry they are currently assigned to serve and they will find fulfillment. Then they can move on to a greater ministry. This is true you should be faithful in whatever ministry you are working for the Lord or otherwise. However, this does not always lead to a fulfilled life in ministry.
Some say when you know what you are called to do then you will find your way. These statements may be true, but there's a large percentage of the body of Christ who does not know what they are called to do. Many are blending in by attending Church every Sunday or attending conventions and meetings hoping that their presence will show them to be a part of the body of Christ. They are hoping that something will be said that will lead them down the path to their destiny. And that certainly may happen.
Being involved gives a sense of doing something but not necessarily a sense of being fulfilled. This is not a denominational finding but an individual quest.

Book Description
Throughout this book you can learn the steps to a more positive life. One of fulfillment and prosperity. Most people think of prosperity only as monetary wealth, but it encompasses a lot more. Our lives are made of physical, spiritual and emotional aspects. We need to seek harmony in all these areas. If we gain monetary riches while sacrificing our spiritual or emotional well being then we are not prosperous. We have to ask ourselves "at what cost am I succeeding?"
Admitting that we have flaws is Step #1. Acting on these and making changes is Step #2. We can try to improve ourselves and at the same time become more conscious of the world around us, and how we interact with that world.
Act responsibly, don't just make mistakes. Look at obstacles as an opportunity to grow. The difference between a wise man and a fool is attitude. The wise man looks at a mistake, makes a corrections and moves forward. The fool merely continues to make the same mistake never seeing the opportunity for change. He remains stagnant and unproductive.
Take a close look at yourself, be honest and objective. If we change certain aspects of our lives, then we can have order in our relationships and in our health and finances. There will be positive blessings. Take that first step!
