Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed. Luke Skywalker’s daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong’s nefarious plot to overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts. And time is slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet whose rulers are about to yield to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the Jedi rebels. On Coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting complete control. But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are thrust into a fierce battle for their lives. Suddenly, the chances of escaping appear nearly impossible. And in space, another battle rages, one that holds ominous consequences for the New Republic—and for the Jedi themselves. . . . Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Coruscant: post-apocalyptic wastelandRebel Stand, the second volume in Aaron Allston's Enemy Lines "duology" finds the author in a very familiar setting, namely alternating storylines featuring both starfighter battles and covert action teams. Both of which should come as no surprise to fans of Allston's previous work on the X-Wing: Wraith Squadron series. In Rebel Stand we finally get a chance to see what has become of Coruscant since the Yuuzhan Vong's takeover of the planet. The former capitol of the New Republic is ...

Read More Rating: - Bringing the adventure back to the New Jedi OrderRebel Stand completes the two-part "Enemy Lines" duology by Aaron Allston, bringing his own distinctive touch to the New Jedi Order series. And what a story it is. Allston provides all the action and humour that he's known for from the X-Wing series of novels, yet doesn't drag the series too much away from the darkness for which it has been known. Walking that line very closely, Rebel Stand is everything a Star Wars fan could want, especially those turned off by the depressing tone of the previous ... Read More Rating: - On many different fronts, is there any hope?The capital of the New Republic has fallen, the Vong are preparing a massive assault on Borleis and a mysterious force, a Force sensitive power, has been found on Vong-occupied Corescant. This is the 12th installment of a series that has taken us from the rim to the core, with New Republic defeats all along the way. Here are the highlights: Luke is leading a team into the stronghold of the enemy; Wedge is trying to hold on to an impossible situation as assigned to him by a fleeing government; ... Read More Rating: - 4 and a half stars... an enthralling work on behalf of A.A.Out of all the New Jedi Order books so far, this one kept my attention the best throughout, for a variety of reasons. First was the rapidly shifting plots and points of view - rotating through Jaina, Luke, Wedge and a variety of others, Allston takes careful time to flush out the storyline that each character finds themselves embroiled in. Of greatest interest to me was the Lord Nyax-Luke Skywalker story on Coruscant; for once an actual Jedi-on-Jedi contest, even if Nyax really couldn't be considered ... Read More |
