With all due respect, I don't like Legacy of the Force much as a series, espcially traviss' books. Traviss is a god-**** mother-****ing hack who single-handedly managed to kill most of my interest in the Expanded Universe with her retarded '3 million 133t clonez' bullcrap. If you don't understand why 3 million clones is far too small for a galactic war, consider this: The Red Army at its height in WWII had 10 million men total. On one planet.
Traviss also seems to thing that the Empire at its height fielded a mere 9 million stromtroopers, despite the fact that nearly every Imperator/Imperial-class Star Destroyer could carry a total of 9,700 Stormtroopers + Supporting armoured vehicles. Times this by 25,000 (An incredibly small number from Tim Zahn's Spectre of the Past) ISDs. The total number is men is (As a lower-limit) 24,250,000(Calculators FTW?) This isn't counting total sector groups, planetary garrisons, VicStars, etc. Traviss also has a histroy of threatening and silencing her critics, amoung other oh so awesome character traits.
The other guy who nearly killed SW for me total of Kevin J. Anderson, (Who's done a fine job of skull-****ing the Dune franchise as well) who the absolutely atrocious Darksabre, where we find out Adm. Daala is suposed to be oh so awesome, when really, she's a retard who shouldn't be put in charge of a dairy farm, much less the Imperial Remanant fleet. Thrawn, she is NOT.
While I find Timothy Zahn's work to be kind of minimalistic, I also give his series enormus props for making one of the most utterly fascinating foes ever, and for generally being excellentaly written with a great story. I can't say the same for Travissty and KJAss.
To sum up my points, Traviss and KJA pretty much killed my interest in the SWEU, espcially Traviss during the whole 3 million debacle.
