operation It must be difficult to write a story in a universe where much, if not all, of where the characters and larger narration comes from and is going to end up is set, but it is a telling point

frustrated me unlike many a character for some time it seemed to have been created so...I have been on a quest to read every book in the EU for quite a while now, I finally stumbled upon the one book
