While the Jedi's mission into Yuuzhan Vong territory was a
success there were many casualties amongst their numbers.
Pilot Janina Solo was one of the lucky ones to make it out
alive but the cost to her personally was high. Having lost
her partner she flees to the Hapes Cluster where she plans
her revenge...
The
Hapes Cluster, which forms the back drop for this novel, is
really not the sort of place you'd want to be stuck in for
too long and the writing catches this side. The Jedi are not
welcome here and the current royal family are not about to
welcome Solo with open arms.
It's
not necessary to be familiar with
The New Jedi Order series
to appreciate this book. While it is helpful if you are a
follower there is plenty of information to help you dive straight
in. This includes a map of the regions and a Star Wars
novels timeline to help you place when the events take place
in the Star Wars universe.
This
latest novel is set between 25-30 years after the events of
Star Wars: A New Hope. It is written well and helps
to build on the Star Wars universe. Cunningham's writing
is particularly fluid - and her sense of humour is also spot
on. A welcome addition to the series.
