Denny Malone, NYPD Detective Sergeant, head of The Manhattan North Special Task Force; all he ever wanted was to be a good cop. As you might expect, there is a lot of violence in this book, and in a book which takes place in a culture greatly affected by racism, there is strong language and racial and cultural epithets used throughout. None of it felt gratuitous to me, but I know some may find that triggering or troublesome. Non è la New York di Serpico, che viene citato più volte nel romanzo di Winslow: non lo è perché non esiste più un Serpico, adesso a New York ci sono 38 mila poliziotti in servizio e la stragrande maggioranza di loro prende la stecca “per la famiglia”, per mandare al college i figli, per garantirsi una pensione meno micragnosa di quella federale. È la “grande mela”, dolce e marcia. Din hopes to reunite the creature with the Jedi. He eventually meets Ahsoka Tano, who is on the hunt for General Thrawn. She tells Din to head to Tython and use a special stone to call to any Jedi who may be out there. Ahsoka also reveals the creature's real name: Grogu.

The feds have him and his only way out is informing on those higher up the chain.

Ahsoka uncovers a map that she believes will lead her to the location of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Meanwhile, former Jedi Baylan Skoll and his apprentice Shin Hati free Morgan Elsbeth, who reveals she is a descendant of the Nightsisters of Dathomir.Also around this time, a young Yoda-like creature is born to mystery parents. (referenced in The Mandalorian) Ultimately, the novel is an indictment of a bedlam system rife with corruption, graft and favors for the penthouse set, giving color to the phrase, "the fish always stinks from the head downwards." The ground exerts 1,157.4 N of force on the box. If the box was on a soft surface, because of your additional force, it might collapse. That's way, to save strength, it's best to push things by their side, straight toward the destination.

READING ORDER — Logan Ryles

Why bother calling 9-1-1 to report a crime when the cops are the biggest criminals on the streets and everyone knows it? There are thirty (30) volumes in total and players can give Mitch a copy of the book until he has all of them to get XP and Credits. Fett kills Bane and defeats the Pykes and the other crime syndicates to regain control of Mos Espa. Vanth spends time in a bacta tank to heal from his clash with Bane. (The Book of Boba Fett) Truth, justice and the American way. The American way is: truth and justice maybe say hello in the hallway, send each other a Christmas card, but that’s about the extent of their relationship.There is a real “your mileage may vary” element to The Force. I lost count of the number of times that characters use the n-word. Racist, sexist, and homophobic characters abound. If you accept that this book is a realistic portrayal of the NYPD, then it is a terribly depressing one. Literally every cop, almost everyone in the criminal justice system, and almost everyone in government, is taking bribes and personally acting to subvert justice. And if you refuse to accept that every cop is a bribe-taking racist, then you are left with a book full of unrealistic stereotypes of what a writer thinks a dirty system would look like.Winslow takes the reader into a concrete world of gangs and guns, the darkness of NYPD culture, and a racially combustible city set to incinerate. Told to the rhythmic beat of the NYC cop vernacular, this epic boils with vicious battles, blood-soaked hands holding dying cops, and double-crosses by rat bastards to brew up an atmosphere in which, as in Macbeth's Scotland, "foul is fair and fair is foul." Winslow has written extensively about the “war on drugs,” so it is not surprising that drugs are the engine driving the crime in The Force. Specifically, heroin, which as Malone points out, only became an “epidemic” once white people started dying. Daniel M Jones founded the Church of Jediism in 2007, and it now has over 500,000 members around the world. The novel begins on Coruscant with Luke Skywalker awake in bed and saying that a mysterious man in his dreams doesn't exist to his wife Mara. He wonders if it might be someone like Raynar Thul, whom Luke confronted four years earlier at the end of the Swarm War. Luke and Mara consider that it might not be anything important, although Luke still has his doubts.

The Elders were an ancient race that disappeared from the Milky Way millions of years ago. Skippy the Magnificent believes they ascended to a higher level of existence. Don Winslow is a seasoned writer at the pinnacle of his craft. Malone drives past the Wahi diner and the mural of a raven on 155th. Past the church of the Intercession, but it’s too late for Intercession, past Trinity Cemetery and the Apollo Pharmacy, the Big Brother Barber shop, Hamilton Fruits and Vegetables and all the small gods of place, the personal shrines, the markers of his life on these streets that he loves like a husband loves a cheating wife, a father loves a wayward son.There are wonderful nuggets of law enforcement intel in here. Like the notion of testilying. Or what is considered proper attire for a day on the stand. How about special celebratory nights for a crew? The upside of EMTs not taking a Hippocratic oath. Rules for note-taking on the job. How 9/11 saved the mob. Planning your crimes so they cross as many precinct boundaries as possible, increasing the likelihood that a paperwork snafu will botch a prosecution. On tribes within the force. At one point he says something like – “I’ll fight fair when everyone else does.” In other words, following the procedure and observing constitutional and civil rights runs contrary to practicing the actual methods of bringing justice. Malone has tapped into a primitive, street justice where a beating – or even an execution – serves the greater good more than what is sanctioned by law. In the meantime, Denny gives the FBI more information on dirty lawyers. He also hands over a crooked cop, Torres, because the FBI put immense pressure on him to comply. Everyone on the force finds out that Denny ratted on Torres, and he’s ostracized. Denny knows that if he doesn’t bust Devon’s gang soon to restore his credibility, he’s finished. In the meantime, he steals proceeds from the gang bust and sells heroin to a local mob boss for extra cash.The Force (2017) is a crime thriller by Don Winslow.

Don Winslow’s The Force turned out to be the perfect choice for my inaugural Metro Link book-club-of-one. In fact, as soon as I finished, I began to miss it. Di questo romanzo Stephen King ha twittato: È come “Il Padrino”, ma con i poliziotti al posto dei mafiosi. Winslow’s narrative style is a fast paced and frenetic stream of consciousness dialogue and internal monologue wherein we analyze the motivations behind Malone’s actions and he shares with the reader a character study of a tortured soul. Malone is drawn not so much as an anti-hero but rather as a tragic hero – we know where his path leads but we cannot look away as he confronts his demons and walks resolutely towards an absolution that may not be recognized by society but one that is ultimately even more personal and real. The final scene is as poignant and appallingly beautiful in its ironic tragedy as any I’ve read before. The cops feel for the vics and hate the perps, but they can't feel too much or they can't do their jobs and they can't hate too much or they'll become the perps. So they develop a shell, a "we hate everybody" attitude force field around themselves that everyone can feel from ten feet away. You gotta have it, Malone knows, or this job kills you, physically or psychologically. Or both." Winslow’s knowledge of the history of New York’s crime, cops, politicians & scandals is encyclopedic. I can’t begin to imagine the hours of research & the whole thing reads like a dark, violent love letter to the city.La scrittura è quella solita di Winslow, quella alla quale mi sono abituato dopo 5 o 6 suoi romanzi letti: scorrevole, senza guizzi particolari, fin troppo piana.
