Review Summaries
"This is another in a series of bad Star Wars books. Luke has to stop an evil Jedi from destroying the New Republic. Nearly 400 pages later he does, but the book is very slow. Luke's story is split with Han, Lando's, Leia's, and even R2-D2's story. Most of the characters are bland and uninteresting. And a number of very improbable things happen--destroying Star Destroyers with one shot, or R2 and 3PO beating up battle droids."
