Product Description
Product Description
As the Yuuzhan Vong’s spectacular conquests continue unchecked, Luke Skywalker, Han and Leia Solo , and Wedge Antilles are forced to destroy what they have risked their lives to create. . . .
Scattering like rats before the Yuuzhan Vong’s invasion of Coruscant, the panic-stricken members of the New Republic Advisory’s Council pause just long enough to set up a mock defense on nearby Borleias—a transparent attempt to buy time that fools no one, least of all the Jedi.
Leia and Han Solo trek from world to world to foment rebellion against the New Republic’s disastrous appeasement policies. But Luke Skywalker has chosen the most dangerous assignment of all: to sneak into the Yuuzhan Vong’s stronghold on Coruscant. His outrageous scheme to gain entry is either brilliant or suicidal, depending on the outcome. And bearing down swiftly on Borleias is a Vong invasion fleet, determined to destroy the galaxy’s remaining defenders. . . .

Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's about time the New Republic started winning. It's about time Jaina solo got to grips with her anger. It's about time we had a happy ending. In short, I've been waiting for this book for a while. It's a great book and Allston has captured the spirit of Star Wars once again. It was good to see Wraith Squadron again, though I was a bit disapointed with the changes made in it's roster. All in all this book is a must read for anyone who has been closely following the New Jedi Order series. Buy it now.

Aaron Alliton has combined the continuing saga of the New Jedi Order books with the pace and action of The X-Wing series of Books. It was wonderful to see the So-called leaders of the New Republic finally put in their place and the Military given a chance to do what it does best. Great to see Wraith Squadron back but best of all was Wedge Antillies. Finally a General who knows what he is doing. I won't reveal the ending but it is brilliant. Enough said Buy this book.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Finally the NJO series is getting serious. Up until now the series has laboured with the internal divsions amongst the Jedi, the infighting within the Solo household and Jaina's flirtation with the Dark Side. Allston has remembered that there were other characters in the Star Wars novels other than newly created NJO characters and the Solo/Skywalker families. He uses his previous Star Wars writing experience to bring back much loved charaters such as Iella & Wraith Squadron (though much changed.) You also get to see the return of the real Wedge Antilles and the much welcomed comic relief from Han Solo. Once again, thanks to A.Allston, Rogue Squadron seems to be the undefeatable force we all know and love.
Just like in the X-Wing series Allston describes some great battle scenes and the close relationships of the starfighter pilots to great effect. But perhaps the best and most telling thing about this novel is that it is not all doom and gloom and it is the New Republic (well the important bits) finally getting their act together and dishing out some punishment.
...if you love NJO this book is a must, if you haven't seen the light yet start at the begining with Vector Prime then work your way through to really appreciate this novel. If you want more Aaron Allston stuff look up the X-Wing series he co-wrote with Michael A. Stackpole. The series starts with Rogue Squadron by Stackpole.
