This is a horrible book: it takes far too long to get going, and goes to slowly when it does. I didn't get into the New Jedi Order books until a few years after it started because I could not get through this book. I want to be clear that I don't have anything against the author, I've read some of his other star wars stuff and enjoyed it but I don't think his style was well suited to launch this series.

3/5
I would give it 3.5 out of 5 if i had the chance. I felt the first 2/3's of the book were very good and maybe it was the death of my hero, or whatever else but i just didnt enjoy the second book as much. It is worth a read and i will be checking out more in this series. ...more

Good book, good intro to this new series. Was sad to see Chewie die but we got to see some other sides to the characters. The new enemy is a great villian and I am looking forward to the next books. This is a different type a enemy that we havent seen in the series before and thats a good thing.
