This is not the kind of novel that's going to set the world on fire. What it is, though, is the penultimate book in the New Jedi Order series, which means it's in charge of making sure that all of the pieces are properly in place for the finale. And that, I have to say, it does fairly well.
The plot: The Jedi are contacted by those within the Vong who would challenge Shimmra; Tahiri and Corran Horn are conscripted to take Nom Amor and Nem Yim to the living planet of Zonama Sekot to ...more

readable solid NJO book
sets up the last parts of the series well - but actually annoying in that the promised revelations still dont quite appear. Tahiri is a central figure and has an interesting part to play and this book is FULL of the Vong. there are massive swathes of the pages divoted to vong chapters about Nen Yim and Nom Anor. Zonama Sekot is threatened and its all very readable - it just doesnt shine out as one of the great books of the series.

The end is in sight and I can't wait to get there!
Tahiri is on Dagobah when she meets a Shamed One that tells her of the heresy and of a prophecy: that a Living World (Zonoma Sekot) promises redemption to the Shamed Ones. This seems to be nothing, but then Nom Anor, in his disguise as the Prophet, asks the Jedi to take him, Harrar, and Nen Yim to this place. So Tahiri and Corran swing on by to Yuuzhan'Tar and the unlikely quest begins.
NOTE: Based on audiobook and novel....more

The Final Prophecy is one of the penultimate books of the New Jedi Order series. This book makes me wish the author wrote the entire series, especially the Force Heretic three book miniseries (a lackluster attempt at entertainment).
Not a verbose novel, this story is focused and entertaining. The storytelling has depth and the writing smooth. Taking into account the trials occurring around the galaxy, Final Prophecy omits the mundane unnecessary details, assuming you have already re...more

*Not a review, just some thoughts*
Tahiri has always been one of my favorite characters and it was nice to see Corran Horn again ... I liked Greg Keyes's earlier duology in the series and he wasn't a terrible Star Wars author. I don't think I'd mind seeing him write another "SW" novel someday ...

The New Jedi Order is my favorite series in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It is a long and epic story, with large ramifications for all the Expanded Universe characters. It will keep you busy for a while!
The actual final set-up book for the New Jedi Order arc. Hijinx ensue as different people try to use the appearance of the secret, living planet to their own ends. That's about all I remember.
This book didn't seem to fit very well with the vibe of the New Jedi Order. Seemed kind of sloppy and hurried. Had some interesting plot elements at least.
Really enjoyed this one.
A good change of pace well written, all the characters are believable. Han even sounds like classic Han occasionally. The storyline is pretty good, better than many of the others in the series, but not the best.
Working up to the end of the series wasn't as exciting as I hoped but it was fun nonetheless...
I will write a review later on to the end of the New Jedi Order.
a good book, starts tying up the loose ends of this long series.
Couldn't put it down!
