People's New Republic hosts People's New Republic, a fiction show with 22 episodes published.
We finish up Roger MacBride Allen's Corellian trilogy with 1995's Showdown at Centerpoint. Does Roger stick the landing? Did the ending of this book get rushed due to page count limits from the publisher? Does the New Re
Show notes
We get something a little different with 1995 short story collection Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina. Some of the stories are genuinely very good! Some of them are very bad! And all of them make up a book that's one of
Show notes
We return to Roger MacBride Allen's Star Race Wars with 1995's Assault at Selonia. It's fine! It's better than the previous one but Roger still has the annoying tendency to elaborate in excruciating detail about stuff th
Show notes
We go long on Barbara Hambly's 1995 heater Children of the Jedi! Luke falls in love with a ghost in a machine who ends up inhabiting the body of one of his students so they can be together (it was a different time). Hamb

(Johnny joins us about an hour in. This was recorded during Ramadan so cut him some slack) We're joined by Jacob from socialist book podcast Workers' Lit to discuss Roger MacBride Allen's 1995 trilogy opener Ambush at Co
Show notes
After some recording hiccups, we return to discuss 1994's The Crystal Star by Vonda N. McIntyre. Some have called this the "worst Star Wars novel" ever published, which you should know off the bat is an insane, uninforme
Show notes
We're back finally after reading the third piece of shit "written" by Kevin J. Anderson for his Jedi Academy trilogy, 1994's Champions of the Force. The previous two were bad and this one is also bad, and we discuss why!
Show notes
We're unfortunately back to Kevin J. Anderson's tedious Jedi Academy trilogy with the second installment, 1994's Dark Apprentice. The gang is unifed in our hatred of Kevin's writing and we're just really tired of his shi
Show notes
We talk about 1994's The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton. Dave cooked with this one, honestly. There's some outrageous stuff in here but it's combined with genuinely some of the best writing we've encountere
Show notes
It stinks! We cover 1994's Jedi Search, the first of Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy, and based on this one, we're in for a rough ride! Luke wants to restart the Jedi Order so he finds a couple of weirdos, Chewb
Show notes
We discuss Kathy Tyers' very interesting 1993 novel The Truce at Bakura, our first standalone novel since Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Tyers is a fascinating figure, and she wrote a fascinating book that was fun to read!
Show notes
We conclude Big Tim's iconic trilogy with 1993's The Last Command. Topics include how you could escape an asteroid blockade of your planet, what exactly Mara Jade's duties were as the Emperor's Hand, and what Leia and Ha
Show notes
The regret continues as we conclude Paul and Hollace Davids' horrible 1993 children's series. Somehow these books are even more insane than the first three. Topics include whether archaeologists can get ghosts from licki
Show notes
(There are some issues with specifically Ethan's audio in this one. We regret the error.) Regrettably, we cover a trilogy of children's Star Wars books published in 1992 by married writing team Paul & Hollace Davids. The
Show notes
We continue Big Tim's iconic trilogy with 1992's Dark Force Rising! Topics include US/Imperial debt trap neocolonialism, the white Saw Gerrera, and C'baoth wanting to preserve the purity of the Jedi race. Content warning
Show notes
We finally make it to (pretty) Good Star Wars with Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire (1991). This is the one that started it all! Topics include Grand Admiral Thrawn as an example of the "Clean Wehrmacht," why the New Re
Show notes
We finally finish L. Neil Smith's interminable trilogy with Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka (1983). Topics include libertarianism's reliance on junk science, the inability to create new stories as a result
Show notes
We continue L. Neil Smith's trilogy with Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon (1983). Neil isn't playing around and includes every one of his political beliefs in this one. Topics include how many times Lando tell
Show notes
We eventually talk about 1983's Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu by L. Neil Smith (after talking about Smith's batshit libertarian politics and other writings for 45 minutes). Topics include hard science fictio
Show notes
We wrap up Brian Daley's 1980 conclusion to the Han Solo Adventures with what might have been the best of the trilogy, then finish up with a long discussion about Hutts and the books in the near future. Topics include li
