| Review Summary |
SELCORE decides to bring back the planet Duro to house the incredible number of refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong attack. The Vong have agents everywhere in ooglith cloakers, which make them look like native species; and the Duros are getting restless. Can the Solos and Skywalkers keep the peace above and below the atmosphere of this polluted planet? The young Jedi must also cope with his feelings.
