5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent ending to the Dark Tide duology, 31 Aug 2000
By A Customer
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

4.0 out of 5 stars Onslaught was better., 29 April 2005
This book was an enjoyable read and maybe even a worthy sequel, but some of the plots were just a sham.

The idea of the superweapon hunt was good, but ended too abruptley. Corran, Jacen and Ganner's time on Garqi was good reading and the discovery that pollen severley affected the Yuuzahn Vong was interesting. The idea of the Remnant helping the New Republic was very good and the introduction of the Chiss was a nice involvment.

The plot was just not as gripping as onslaught, and some the things like the sacrafice of Eglos was a different twist to the plot, but it helped introduce the religeous aspect of the Vong. This is a good book, but just is not really brilliant I think.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why do they do this to us?, 13 Jul 2000
By A Customer
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?
