Reader Review: It was good. Not great but good in enough places. I'd actually give this one 3.5 stars if I could. It was missing a very important component. Humor. Even Troy Denning's visceral, thrill-a-minute blood gushing battle novels have more irony and laughs. The pacing is quite odd overall. I found the first third of the book rather dry. It took a while for things to get in place. I found I wasn't getting a feel for Jaden. Khedryn and Marr grew on me rather quickly. Khedryn was small flare of humor in an otherwise humorless tale. It was at least as dark and close to the horror genre as Deathtroopers. Lots of vomiting, crushed bones, the smell of rotting flesh. Heck, it seemed the more Jaden delved into the Force, the more the place stank. And then there was the mucus. The Force users in this novel felt as Kell, a character in the book, would put it, like ghosts. Kell was a B movie bad guy, and Saes made Greivous look like mr. personality. This wasn't a typical good vs evil tale (although that's what it boiled down to). This was really about Jedi of different eras submitting to doubt, losing faith and then gaining it back. The last third of the novel is where it really kicks into action and is quite fun once things fall into place.and was quite fun once things were in place.
An ancient Sith ship hurtles into the future carrying a lethal cargo that could forever destroy Luke Skywalker’s hopes for peace.
The Civil War is almost over when Jedi Knight Jaden Korr experiences a Force vision so intense he must act. Enlisting two salvage jocks and their ship, Jaden sets out into space. Someone—or something—appears to be in distress.
But what Jaden and his crew find confounds them. A five-thousand-year-old dreadnaught—bringing with it a full force of Sith and one lone Jedi—has inadvertently catapulted eons from the past into the present. The ship’s weapons may not be cutting-edge, but its cargo, a special ore that makes those who use the dark side nearly invincible, is unsurpassed. The ancient Jedi on board is determined to destroy the Sith. But for Jaden, even more is at stake: for his vision has led him to uncover a potentially indestructible threat to everything the Jedi Order stands for.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
