Now readers will pierce the very heart of darkness. . . . It is a solemn time for the New Republic, as the merciless Yuuzhan Vong continue their campaign of destruction. The brutal enemy has unleashed a savage creature capable of finding—and killing—Jedi Knights. And now Leia Organa Solo faces a terrible ultimatum. If the location of the secret Jedi base is not revealed within one week, the Yuuzhan Vong will blast millions of refugee ships into oblivion. As the battered but still unbroken Jedi scramble to deal with the newest onslaught, Leia’s son Anakin lays out a daring plan. He will lead a Jedi strike force into the heart of enemy territory in order to sabotage the Yuuzhan Vong’s deadliest weapons. There, with his brother and sister at his side, he will come face-to-face with his destiny—as the New Republic, still fighting the good fight, will come face-to-face with theirs. . . . Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 600 hundred pages should have been 350This book almost made me stop reading the njo. The story isn't terrible, but this is as drawn out as the scarlett letter. Except Troy Denning for some reason feels its necessary to shove as many big, obscure words in his novel as possible. Turning what should be a 350-400 page book in 600+ pages. Plus he changes all the characters personalities to fit what he wants in his story. Basically says, the hell with the earlier books, I'm doing what I want. One of the things that bothered me ... Read More Rating:  - This Book is Great!!Star wars has always been a fun series to read but this book really makes it really great. Star by star is a great sci fi story that will keep you busy for days. Their about 600 pages and the story is so interesting you won't be able to take your eyes off it. read it today!1 AppleJuice Rating:  - Good Read, but Severely suffers from Bad Plot ChoicesBefore reading this overview, I would like to state that at the very moment the hero of this story died, I was ready to shoot a hole through the book, then the author, the person who wrote this part of the series and then George Lucas for allowing it. And since it was pretty much bantha poodoo there at the end, I am currently rewriting an alternate series (mostly fan-fic) to recover the lost ground. I hope that if I send it in, it will sate the palate of the fans who suffered from this flawed novel. ... Read More Rating: - With this series Star Wars has lost it's wayThis series and especially this book nearly put me into depression and it's not that the key character dies by itself, it's the core spirit of Star Wars and it's uplifting message has been extinguished. What happened George Lucas? What's up with you Troy Dennings? Yes, conflict and strife are necessary and readers easily believe that, but they are necessary for growth and the greater good not for the sake of suffering and random like the message seems to be. Where is hope, the belief in a grand redemptive, ... Read More Rating: - Unrealized Jedi PotentialFor anyone who does not want any spoilers to this 9th installment of the NJO, please refrain from reading any further, dispite the late date of this review. Firstly, in the overall scope of the development (and possible restoration) of the Jedi in all their knowledge and glory, the death of Anakin is totally counter to that aim. Whoever made that choice in the story development of the NJO is no student of the Jedi, nor any other mystical traditions from any galaxy! It seems that ... Read More |
