Synopsis

It's been months since Luke's life was threatened by Rezi Soresh. But that doesn't mean he's safe.

Soresh is a patient man, and he's willing to wait for the right moment. He has more reasons than ever: In the wake of his last attempt to get rid of the Rebellion's top pilot, Soresh was accused of being a traitor and relieved of his command. Humiliated and alone, he's retreated to a quiet corner of the galaxy, evading any Imperial troops that would arrest him. And now, he has a plan to strike back at every one of his enemies—starting with Luke Skywalker.

Lord Depravus Says

Good bedtime reading - 10-Jun-10

I don’t quite know how to describe this book. Although it was a mildly entertaining read, I felt it was a very weak end to what started out as a very good series.

It was one of those books that I found myself not being able to pay much attention to when I was reading and, before I knew it, I had come to the end without having registered much throughout the book. This made it very good bed time reading but doesn’t say much about the writing. It certainly wasn’t captivating enough for me.

The inevitable deaths of a couple of long-standing characters lacked any real emotion and I felt more effort could have been put into that aspect.

Nevertheless, aside from a few weak points, the series as a whole was fairly enjoyable and it was a good place in the timeline to include a young reader’s series.
