Not the greatest. The way dash connected with the holostar seemed forced. I think it was a good way to pull in some back story of the movies but not a great story of adventure and intrigue. The characters seemed flat.
This book was decent. It was billed as a Star Wars "thriller" but the tone wasn't that much different than a lot of other star wars books. For instance, the star wars horror novels had a definitely different feel to them whereas this didn't. It was hard to follow at times because of all the unfamiliar character names. It was nice that at least Han Solo was in it to provide some continuity to the rest of the galaxy. It was a good book but nothing spectacular.
