Troy Denning is quickly becoming a favorite Star Wars author of mine as both this series of books and his contributions to the NJO series were full of action, suspense and surprises. The Unseen Queen takes us back to the frontier between Chiss and Killick space where the insectoid race is afflicted with a mysterious disease that they believe has something to do with the Chiss or the Galactic Alliance. In response to their pleas for help, the usual gang of heroes (Luke, Leia & Han) come to see what they can do to help. Instead, they become embroiled in a labyrinthine plan to take over the galaxy (what's new???) and to start another disastrous war in the galaxy. The final action scenes are the best written, and I hope that the third and final entry into the trilogy wraps things up neatly, as there were certainly some loose ends at the end of this novel.
