The Star Wars universe for the over-30 set
I have enjoyed this book and the whole series tremendously. It is far more mature than any of the recent Star Wars fare, less sci-fi and more character driven. This is a great series for those who are more concerned with good writing than with absolute video game and comic continuity. And it's an intriguing alternative perspective of the Jedi that adds further depth to Revenge of the Sith.

I was happy to hear that the series will continue as Imperial Commando, so we'll get to spend some more time with the gang.

Boring...not enough Jedi too much about Madalorians
In a book titled Order 66 you'd think the book would deal with what happened in part of the galaxy unseen in Revenge of the Sith, how the other Jedi dealt with the betrayal, how Clones may have fought their consicence in executing the order, how other allies may have helped the Jedi escape the order but nope...it deals with a bunch of Mandolorian stuff (yawn) and Order 66 itself doesn't happen until like 370 pages in a book that total around 440.

Among the worst of the Star Wars books I've read..right there with Force Unleashed and The Dark Nest Trilogy. Very disappointing.

"Every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic... Execute ORDER 66!"
Not only is this one of my favorite Star Wars novels to date(Star By Star takes the cake in my book), but it provides an excellent overview to the Clone Wars and the later events that tie nicely into Episode III... and beyond. A captivating adventure that kept me going all day, "Order 66" is the story of conflicted Clone Commandos treading the blurred line between right and wrong and forced to come to terms with their own mortality. Although having read the previous three "Republic Commando" novel adds significantly to the payoff here, it is not a necessity, and the story serves almost as well as a standalone novel. Most surprising to me was the inclusion of a few story tidbits from the "Republic Commando" video game that I had thought long since forgotten and added enjoyably to the cohesiveness of the collected Expanded Universe. My only gripe is the clear setup to Traviss' upcoming "Imperial Commando" series. Had she not been committed to that assignment, I'm sure she would have left a few less threads hanging in the wind. Nevertheless, buy the book, eat it up, eat it again. Not only is it more than a video game tie-in, it's worth every penny... and it's sheer art.

Order 66, well you know the ending
After the first 3 books, this one I couldn't wait for. Even though the title "Order 66" gives away a little. Very well written, and a great story.
Here's a Bonus on the list of Characters look for Etain, Her gender is wrong it labels Her as a male human, when its a She. Gave me a small smile, have fun reading.
