Hard Contact Part 1

Welcome to our first of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.

This month’s book is Hard Contact (Star Wars: Republic Commando #1) by Karen Traviss
Chapters 1-5

Hard Contact Part 1

1. What are your thoughts on the squad so far? Any favorites yet between Darman, Nine, Fi, and Atin?

2. The mercenary Mandalorian, Hokan, has a connection with the Republic force that I'm assuming he will soon meet. Do you think he knew Jango Fett personally or only by reputation - will he recognize the clones' faces?

3. How are you liking it so far?



FYI - There's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions above - they're just talking points to get us started. Informal chatter is more than welcome! In-person book clubs often veer off topic, it's okay if we do as well. :)
All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past Part I of the book.

That makes sense. I don't like the Mando stuff in TCW (I've reconciled with it, after Rebels and some really good fanfic), so I can kind of see why you'd take your ball and go home. I need to read this week's chapter of Hard Contact so I can see if I have more clone feels.
