Star Wars 2017 Del Rey Sampler

Star Wars 2017 Del Rey Sampler: Excerpts from Upcoming and Current TitlesStar Wars 2017 Del Rey Sampler: Excerpts from Upcoming and Current Titles by Delilah S. Dawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An unexpected treat!

I've grabbed these samplers when they became available over the years, though rarely dug into them. More often than not, the novels "sampled" were ones I'd already read. Last week, after "Force Friday" I came across an article about "Mynock Monday" a sort of Freegan alternative - i.e. "how can you be a Star Wars fan on the cheap. They pointed out how these often included short stories along with the samples - and this was no exception. This book had some very nice stories from all across the GFFA eras. More than worth the price of admission.

FWIW: about Mynock Monday http://eleven-thirtyeight.com/2017/09...
