Format:Paperback
I was a bit disappointed with this. In his previous book, the strength was the concentration on Han and his new companion, and the development of their relationship; however, it seems that that in the latest book, they have been dropped in favour of the still-uninteresting Jedi.
Admitteldy, the author still knows how to write about the Yhuuzan Vong attacks: he portrays them in a far more affecting way than has been before. The cynical corporation which uses refugees is also a sign of some bite in the storyline.
Unfortunately, there are too many coincidences, too many dull sections, and too little of Han and Droma add up to mean that the first of the duology is still the best

THE STORY:
Twenty one years after 'Return of the Jedi', the Hutts make an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong, all the while attempting to sell the invaders' plans for a major new offensive to the New Republic. Meanwhile, the Jedi continue to struggle with their role in the war as Jacen and Anakin Solo travel to the Corellian system, where technicians are trying to utilise the awesome power of Centerpoint Station.

WHAT'S GOOD:
Luceno once again brings us an intriguing and exciting story whilst managing to tie together the disparate strands of the Star Wars Universe. My favourite element of the book was Anakin's struggle with the morality of reactivating Centerpoint and the opposing arguments from Jacen and the supposedly reformed Thracken Sal-Solo. However, it is also interesting to see Leia's journey to Hapes (where she might have ruled if not for marring Han) with Tenel Ka, a Jedi but also heir to the throne. The book comes to a shocking climax in one of the better written battles in recent Star Wars books.
WHAT'S BAD:
Occasionally, Luceno tries to cram so much in that you can lose track of exactly who's doing what. And I don't like Droma either. He's just no substitute for the walking carpet.
Format:Paperback
I read my friends copy and now have to have my own. I am totally hooked. I wont tell you what happens but if you are a starwars fan you will love it.

weakest so far - but they r great books
not the best of the series so far. There is way to much set up - pretty much the first 250 pages is the set up for a 50 page split battle on lots of fronts - the battle is pretty... Read more

The NJO continues apace
Luceno's duology finishes here, and it was a rollercoaster ride. The reintroduction of characters was well done, and the return to Correllia was a well written interlude. Superb
