Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen
Chapter 9
It must be stated that I love an element of cheesiness to my Sci-Fi. In fact it needs a little cheese for me to enjoy it. The reason I could not get into the newer Battlestar Galactica was their efforts to remove the cheese from their Sci-Fi show. I need goofy lines. I need goofy scenes. Whoever moves the cheese from Sci-Fi should be fired.
This chapter is filled with wonderful cheese that did nothing but make me smile. That is UnuThull gives to Han and Luke miniature models of their famous space vehicles. They are number 1 of 1,000,000,000. I loved this. Star Wars was built on merchandising and merchandise. George Lucas built Lucas Films and all of its various divisions largely on the sale of merchandise, and not movie sales. Star Wars fans are huge collectors, and merchandise has played such a huge role in the development of Star Wars, so I loved seeing collectables and merchandise being brought into a novel. UnuThull was pulling a George Lucas saying I am going to make money of Luke and Han’s fame. It was great, and I am smiling while I am typing this.

Chapter 5
Saba and Leah race to get the Fizz sample to Cilghal’s lab for analysis at the Jedi Academy, and we get a glance into the Jedi training that Leah is receiving from Saba. I loved it. Leah was in a hurry to get the Fizz to Cilghal, and as she is running to the lab, Saba reminds her of the rule to meditate upon entering the Academy grounds. Leah was in a hurry and tried reasoning with Saba about the well being of Luke and Han who are stuck on Woteba, but Saba quickly establishes who is in control putting Leah in her place with her quite yet stern Barabel ways. Leah then finds herself meditating and being corrected later when she calls Corran Horn, Corran instead of Master Horn even though they have known each other for decades.

Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen
Chapter 2
This chapter begins as a digestion chapter. Han, Leah, Mara, and Luke discuss how to handle the problems that arose from chapter 1. Mainly Luke’s promise to help UnuThul with the Fizz that is eating away at their planet. Luke and Han decide to remain on the planet with the Killik to build trust wit UnuThul and investigate the dark nest issue. Mara leaves because of the dark nest’s desire to kill her. The rest of the gang takes a sample of the Fizz to Ossus and Cilghal.
This chapter is pretty slow until Alema shows up and the fireworks begin. Alema and Luke discuss the Killik situation esspecially the dark nest, Welk and Lomi Plo’s role in it, the batlle on Kr, and during this debat, Han stuns Alema.

I received an e-mail recently asking me how to keep up with what I am currently reading, so to help out I came with the idea of the DRU or the Daily Reading Report to share my thought on what I recently read. They will be brief summaries of my thoughts of what I have read that day. I hope you will follow allong and enjoy.
Currently I am reading Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen by Troy Denning.
Prologue
Have I mentioned that Denning is a master of action? The prologue of most book sequels briefly remind you of what took place in book one…Denning does not. You must read Dark Nest I to know what in the world is going on; otherwise you with think Jaina and Zekk are back in puppy love finishing each other sentences. I am not sure which is creepier joiners or people in love finishing each other’s sentences?
