Had a little time, so read more in this story. Lukan is a changed man, I believe. After what has happened to him, I think he'll make wiser and more considerate decisions (at least there's a hope).

I read this book a LONG time ago. It might even be the first book that I read in the Star Wars universe (galaxy).

So far, so good. I don't like the way he has written Princess Leia. She's got more agency than is depicted in this story.

The oppression of fear is kicking in. The band of women soldiers are starting to feel the pressure, as the land, the enemy are fighting against them...and now they are fighting against themselves. How will they accomplish their mission IF this continues?

Wow. The title respresents the story...fairly well. This rag-tag team of seemingly misfit women soldiers...seem to be on a quest, but I'm not sure many, if any...will survive the telling of the story.

Also, there are so many weird creatures on this world. Wow!

Went from finishing the first book...to reading a bit of the second book. Liked the transition...and who's in the mix at the moment. Will dedicate more time tomorrow to this story. Excited.

Not sure how they're going to get out of this, but I also know that I am not going to go to bed...till I finishe this book. Locked-in.

When I picked up this novel, I knew that I was picking up a war story, but this has so much more Fantasy elements than I thought their'd be.

The cover are reminds me of Goldie Hawn's movie, Private Benjamin. It has NOTHING to do with that comedy. LOL.

The conclusion of what happened in the last novel. Which I'm glad, now...to see the entire story explored, and "executed". Hmmm.

This is a reread, after reading the other Jumper novels...to the end with Exo. Since I knew the tone was different, I didn't want it to effect the series. Griffin's Story: A Novel...has jumping mechanics that make it more like the movie, than the Jumper series...as a whole. I'm enjoying it, but like the mechanics of the series, better.

The mystery of this grizzly bear is odd (for the characters), though as the reader...we know what’s going on.

Mayhem is afoot.

This is incredibly technical, and I'm loving it. It's got me thinking...that Steven Gould and Andy Weir doing a book together...that'd be amazing. Think about it.

I'm having fun with the characters...and with the story, though it's interesting how scientific Cent is. She's definitely different than her parents. She's also a LOT more wreckless, but also smart. I really like her.

There are those who have bad luck, but there are those who "step in it" almost on purpose.

Joe Pickett is THAT man. He cannot NOT do the right thing, even when...it is not comfortable.

I hate the idea of #Bitcoin, so this story (so far) puts our heroes in a predicament.

Stay true to yourselves...for that will protect you. Much love, your fans.

It's interesting that Khan's personality (it being unstable), seems to be a constant. He doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. Sadly, it will eventually become his undoing.

I have listened to the Khan podcast that they produced and released in 2025, but only got one episode in...since I knew I wanted to read this trilogy...first.

It seems like the podcast and this book have some similarities. So...it will be interesting to see how many.

I'm not remembering as much of this story, as I have the others (which is good).

They adapted this book (loosely), and I loved the adaptation...knowing it didn't take much of the story, but the "jumping" aspects were done amazingly...IMO.

Having fun with this story.

The action is racheting up, and the suspense on whether our "rogue" stormtroopers will survive this current battle.

Also "worried" for Luke, but then again...why should I be?

Mara Jade is such an interesting character. Her aloofness is fun to experience.

This was the start of the second half of this duo...of Apprehension by Mary Robinette Kowal.

As of now, it feels like it possibly is in the same universe, but I haven't seen ANY connections with the previous story, Red Star Hustler.

We shall see...going forward.

October 16th's thoughts:

Finished the first story (Red Star Hustler), out of the duology. It was interesting seeing the world through a seventy-eight year old woman, surgeon and soldier from a planetary war...suffering from PTSD. Loved the story...rating it 4.25 Stars. Now, excited about reading the second story, Apprehension. 

This story is a bit weird. Cannot put my finger on it. It has added a historical bent, dealing with Nazis (which in itself is odd, that's for sure), but dealing with political issues. Seems to be walking a line...and I'm not sure I'm liking this story. It just seems weird, to me.

This is so much fun to read (experience). Love Mara Jade, along with The Hand of Justice. Also throw Thrawn in the picture, with Han, Chewie and Princess Leia. Loving it so much.

It's interesting how they are filling the history from the different time periods (the present with TOS, then a middle time period and the one that is following Charlie Seven, Ms. Roberta Lincoln and Isis.

I'm so invested in this story...that I had to set the book down...so I could get some sleep, so I can finish it today.

Of course, I stopped...when things are at their worst. Ugh. What' going to happen, next?

Though I wasn't as onboard as I thought I was in Assignment: Eternity with Gary Seven and Ms. Roberta Lincoln, for some reason...it's working really well in this story.

I know Mara Jade is on the Imperial side, but I like her character.

Love how Leia is in charge, and doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Also, love the Stormtroopers who left their duty, to do their duty better.

Ooh, this is a juicy political thriller. Love the multiple POVs, and how the presidency of the Federation is up for grabs...after the quick retirement of President Zife, and two of his closest advisors.

In the thick of the inciting incident, and the fallout. Not sure what's supposed to happen...next, but I have to set the book down (for a bit). Help me, please.

Ah, Mara Jade...I've been looking forward to reading about you.

It's taking me a bit to get back into this storyline. Maybe just a few more chapters, and I'll be locked in.
