Who is Matthew Stover?
- The best writer you're not reading. Matthew Stover is widely held by the Star Wars community as one of the most controversial authors in the Star Wars EU. His best-selling novel
Shatterpoint, featuring Mace Windu's experience in the Summertime War in his home planet of Haruun Kal. Shatterpoint, Traitor, and Revenge of the Sith all became New York Times best-sellers and launched Matthew Stover into fame.
-Matthew Stover is an avid martial artist and trains in the Degerberg Blend, a unique study of many deady martial arts styles from around the world. His fight scenes in the Star Wars novels, Mace Windu's skill with Vaapad, and the gory battle scenes in the Caine novels, are some of the examples of his renowned skill in writing action. His experience as a martial artist echoes in his narrative voice.
-Matthew Stover is highly criticized and praised for his adaption of the morally grey nature of humanity in times of psychological war. His characterization of Mace Windu in his reluctant role as a hated hero on his own home world and the Vietnam-like guerilla warfare and horrors reminiscient of
Heart of Darkness changed the way Star Wars novels were to be told for good. In
Traitor, the definitive novel of the
New Jedi Order series, Stover broke boundaries and held nothing back with Jacen Solo.

Stover was a master at hand-selling his masterpiece epic works of art.
Er, no, he just got hand-sold the books. By a person who worked at the store. The way they're supposed to.
I'm a Star wars fan I just rarely read the books, I'll have to try some of his though. Thanks for the info and great article.
Isn't Matt Stover the old kicker for the Cleveland Browns and then the Ravens when the franchise moved to Baltimore?
wow this was really cool, you did a very well job on this!
