Product Description
Twenty-one years after the destruction of Darth Vader and the Emperor, the Star Wars galaxy has been hit by a threat more deadly than anything that has gone before. In VECTOR PRIME, aliens invaded from outside the galaxy and were routed. . . at great cost to our heroes. Now, in a climate of mistrust - especially of the Jedi - Leia cannot convince the New Republic that the threat may not be over, even as the next wave of alien warships are entering the galaxy. . . It is up to Leia, Luke, the Solo Kids - Jedi Knights all - and the few who believe to defend the Outer Rim planets from invasion.

An excellent ending to the Dark Tide duology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Tide II: Ruin (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order) (Paperback)
I daresay that, after the excellent Onslaught, I was anticipating this more then The Phantom Menace. Stakpole delivered a fine performance with this book, and it was a very touching tale.The only problems I had with this book were that Stackpole, like in Onslaught and I, Jedi, seemed to detract from the main characters to make Corran (his own creation) look even more the hero. Apart from that though, I couldn't fault this book

Why do they do this to us?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Tide II: Ruin (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order) (Paperback)
I want to like this book. The situation is intruiging; there is some writing from the enemy point of view; there is destruction on a grand scale; and yet, I can't like it.Once again, there's too much "Let's moralise about what we're doing and sidestep the issue that we're killing millions of people". Instead of the fast pace this book deserves, there's too many cases where the characters simply stand around arguing over petty points. It also seems that, if you are not a Force user, you're not important: witness the lack of a Han Solo, Leia's diminishing role, and the lack of non-Forcy fighter pilots. Suddenly, one perspective on the whole conflict is lost. Occasionally, the writing shows promise (the scene in which a bomb blows up is actually well-written) but in the end, the majority of it is poor. I say: bring back Timothy Zahn, Aaron Allston, Barbara Hambly and all the good writers. Banish Stackpole to the rubbish heap along with Anderson. I know I've said it before, but I have a point to make And since when were we meant to look on th Imperials as good guys?
5.0 out of 5 stars
Vengance is a dish best served cold,
This review is from: Dark Tide II: Ruin (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order) (Paperback)
The duology takes a dramatic turn, the disasters in the previous books can never prepare you for what the YV's have planned for their invasion.
Leia seeks help from the Imperial Remnant, who's Moffs are reluctant to help, Palleon may have other plans though. The Camaasi Senator makes his way to the Vong to learn their ways to see if peace can be reached. The Jedi in turn take all knocks from their cowardly politicians with a great spirit of unity. Despite the contempt from Kyp Durron and his followers they all do their part in the war against these extragalactic invaders. Stackpole finishes with a climax that was not forseen, even through the force.
