Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 813.54 EAN: 9780345477460 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0345477464 Label: Del Rey Manufacturer: Del Rey Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 299 Publication Date: May 13, 2008 Publisher: Del Rey Release Date: May 13, 2008 Studio: Del Rey Editorial Review: Product Description: No war can last forever. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand. With so much lost–and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake–there can be no turning back. No matter the consequences. The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine’s. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus. It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo. Failure is not an option. The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome–and the fate of those left standing. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Disappointing ConclusionI think that in the context of a sci-fi space opera, the "Legacy of the Force" storyline has been pretty brilliant (its not trying to cure cancer). But this last book was quite disappointing. After reading the pretty amazing "Revelation" by Karen Traviss, you kind of have to wonder what happened. Traviss spent that whole novel meticulously building great characterizations of Jacen, Ben, Luke, Niathal, Daala, Palleaon, and most impressively, Boba Fett, who has spent most of his history being a ...

LOL However, wtf happened in the rest of this book? What happened to the story? Is this really the ending? After building up what promised to be the most dangerous and powerful Sith Lord of all time, it just ends? All the amazing new and lost powers Jacen unearthed gone again? So many intriguing points from the past 8 books just left hanging, as well as a decent amount of new ...

That's what it was duels and the death of Jacen and that's all we got and nothing more. No emotions, no pleading for Jacen to come back to the good side, no moving final moments, nothing. This from the man who delivered us Anakin's death in Star By Star? At least Anakin Solo got to die a hero hell even Anakin Skywalker died one when he killed the Emperor to save Luke? What did Jacen die for? Here at ... Read More Rating:  - Amazing end for and amazing arc of the storyAs a long time fan of the Star Wars saga and the Expanded Universe I am very pleased to recommend this full, 9 books long, arc of the story. Rating: - Gift From Family But Did Not Care For It At AllI'm going to tell you one major spoiler I think most people all know is that Jaina Kills Jacen at the end which I found for myself all the more painful not about the story but how this storyline ended up. I mean first they kill Chewie than Anakin and when I heard they killed Mara Jade I didn't even bother getting any of these books at all. My family knows that I'm a star wars fan and I have almost all the books but again hearing how the stroyline of this new saga had Jacen slowly going darkside and the ... Read More |
