What were they thinking? They&#8217;re not stupid, they had to have their reasons, and that was the gap I wanted to fill. It&#8217;s actually not what it seems. And the title, A Practical Man, is a reference to an obscure song that I&#8217;m not very sure few people would have heard in the UK. It&#8217;s about sticking to what you believe.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.starwars.com\/eu\/lit\/novel\/news20060728.html\">Source<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The cover artist is Steven D.
