Here, we see the latest events of the continuing Yuuzhan Vong invasion through the eyes of Han Solo, who was conspicuous by his absence up until this point.
It's great to see Han back as the hero we know he is, back to his best and taking on the galaxy again. Even better is that Luceno makes plenty of references to the 70's Han Solo book trilogy, bringing characters into the expanded universe that some thought were gone forever.
It's not the best book of the New Jedi Order series, I'd like to see more Jedi, and more non-human characters involved, but the series is fast paced and exciting and always leaves you wondering how the heroes of old are going to cope.
Now all I need is a duology based on Lando Calrissian and i'll be really happy!
This time, there's no standing around playing around with words; rather, it is all-out action, which, let's face it, has always been what "Star Wars" has been best at.
A refreshing aspect of this book is the return of characters from the Correlian trilogy and the Black Fleet trilogy; characters who were ignored by most writers. Another refreshing aspect is the style of writing; it is far better than Stackpole's. It is unpretentious, neat, and far less meandering. It shows the Yuuzhan Vong savagery in a far more effective way.
In conlusion, this book has served to restore my faith in these books, and brought about a fresh style. Long may it continue.
On the bad side, the tactics used against the YV are different, no mention of the flicker shots, suddenly Krefey is no longer really mentioned and the Jedi play a very small part. No real mention of Corran Horn and the events of Ruin. I know every book does not have to be about the Jedi but it just doesn't flow from the other books in the series.
This book is a must if you follow the New Jedi Order series but it didn't work for me. Buy it and enjoy.
