NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Timothy Zahn comes an exciting Star Wars adventure, set in the time between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back—featuring Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, as well as the deadly Mara Jade.
Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebellion is in desperate need of a new base. So when Governor Ferrouz of Candoras Sector proposes an alliance, offering sanctuary for the Rebels in exchange for protection against a warlord intent on invasion, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca are sent to evaluate the deal. But Mara Jade, the Emperor’s Hand, is also heading for Candoras, along with five renegade stormtroopers known as the Hand of Judgment. Their mission: to punish Ferrouz’s treason and smash the Rebels.
In this treacherous game of betrayals within betrayals, a wild card is waiting to be played.

I've read all of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novels and he is a brillant author but this simply isn't his best work. To get the most from this book you need to have all of his previous novels particularly Allegiance as Zahn seems to have written this book assuming you know all these characters. The new characters especially the villian are seriously underwritten. That said the return of characters like Thrawn and Mara Jade is excellent.
The plot takes a little time to get going but is perfectly good. However it lacks the level excitement or interest that most of his previous books achieve.
In conclusion if you're new to Timothy Zahn start with some of his earlier work before reading this one, if a seasoned fan I would wait till it comes out in paperback as it is one of his weaker novels.

Fans of the Star Wars Universe will be more than familiar with the writing of Timothy Zahn as his titles have become ones to set the standards by. Whilst there will always be new readers looking to get into the world the vast majority are ones that are already more than familiar with everything that's happening in this inventive universe.
As with his other titles, this one has decent pace, some great prose and of course a more than familiar feel with the characters. That said however if you're not up with all the details of this authors previous work this won't be the best one to start with as it will leave you wondering what you're missing. Not that you won't get a good story, of course you will, but when you're left with a feeling of unfamiliarity it makes it hard to get into.

Another Zahn's masterpiece! I was so surprised understanding that Lord Odo is ********! great! Perfectly connected with the movies and the novel 'Alegiance'!
