...who actually enjoyed her Republic Commando novels, more so than most of the other SW novels I have ever read. They are better IMO than just about any of the SW except for "I, Jedi" and the original Zahn trilogy.
I like that she tried to get into the mindset of a clone trooper and deal with the issues they live with (selfhood, individuality, being a second class citizen if even that, etc, etc).
I think too many SW novel fans are just not ready to accept stories that actually look at the human (clone) experience. They want pure fun, action and that sort of drivel, not something that actually makes them THINK when they read SW.

I'm just curious to hear everyone's opinions on this author. I've read her Republic Commando Star Wars books, which apparently are widely reviled and called little more than fan fiction by some (though I enjoyed them well enough cannon or not). Anyways, I guess Karen Travis is writing the latest trilogy of Halo novels (which I've been a big fan) and before I buy the first of these I just wanted to see what everyone here thought of her.
I've heard some varying opinions on her, but I thought I'd try and get a clearer consensus here. So basically, which of her works have you read, what did you think of them, and what's your opinion of her writing in general?

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
Opinions on Karen Traviss?

Fan fiction is pretty accurate, with Mandalorians as her Mary-Sue group.
