2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of potential ... but no payoff, 16 April 2007
By ShriDurga (Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This series started off well with an interesting and plausible concept incorporating minor characters from the NJO series. When an insect colony absorbs a Jedi into its hive mind it learns the value of caring for the individual. The unforeseen consequence soon threatens the known universe - population explosion and territorial expansion of the insect hive.

Author Troy Denning comes up with intriguing twists for all the major characters, but except for Leia finally becoming a Jedi Knight, the series ends without resolving any of the issues that Denning creates, making for a very unsatisfying conclusion to a tale that could have been told in one long novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Galactic War averted., 7 Feb 2006
This review is from: Star Wars: The Swarm War (Dark Nest III) (Paperback)
After enjoying parts one and two of this trilogy it is good to be able to say that the final part didn't disappoint. Troy Denning has provided an exciting story that has touched upon some crucial questions for the Jedi of this time period and in this novel we see that the Dark Nest events have been useful both in terms of how the Jedi use their powers as peacekeepers and their evolving relationship with the Galactic goverment. The Luke/Raynar/Lomi Plo duel while not as epic as I would have hoped for was very good in fact in keeping with the smaller scale of the Dark Nest storyline, plus it was good to see Kyle Katarn (now a Jedi Master) in action again in a number of scenes. This combined with Troy Dennings ability to inject some much needed dramatic tension into the cast of characters that while well loved and iconic were in danger of becoming too safe and boring made this book and the trilogy one of my favourites.

One complaint is that there are some things that after the conclusion of the trilogys main plotline are left somewhat unresolved. This is slightly annoying but as these novels are the last of the New Jedi Order era and the next books will be the first of the Legacy era with a new series of books and comics it has in my opinion found a good balance between setting up the future while telling a cracking good story that doesn't rely on the worn out New Republic Vs Empire formula.
