I really enjoyed this book. But I hope everyone realizes I rate Star Wars books within the realm of only other Star Wars books. My 4 stars review is great for Star Wars books but not on the same par as a regular fantasy book.
For a person who has never read a SW's book before, I think you could easily jump into it and not be lost, which is the problem if say you started to read the New Jedi order series without previous knowledge.

This is one of my favorite Star Wars books ever. And that's saying quite a bit, as I read waaay too many of them. I'm not really surprised though, Timothy Zahn is an amazing author and one of my personal favs. This book does a great job linking the familiar stories of Luke, Han, and Leia to the main plot of 5 Stormtrooper deserters to the enigmatic Emperor's Hand. It has a fairly satisfying ending, but I can't WAIT for the sequel coming in summer!

Interesting addition to the SW Expanded Universe. Taking place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, it is told from the perspective of Stormtrooper deserters who encounter, and ultimately work with Mara Jade.
It is a quick read and is the first of (at least a) two book series by Timothy Zahn.
Recommended for SW fans.
