Page 4 of 4 Comments After being weighed down by the previous sets of duologies, it was nice to just have a one off book here. And just when I was beginning to be a little tired of the action, this title brought me back in. Up to this point, there has been very little actual Jedi action in the NJO series. Bits and pieces, but Jacen Solo's emergence in this book is one of the clear early highlights. The interplay between the twins filled the book with a sense that I have finally really come to know the Solo children and Jacen's arc proved that. FInally, the Vong didn't feel quite so overwhelming for the Jedi. Here is Jacen Solo who has shown little real power up to this point handing out a ass kicking to a Warmaster and a room full of his pals. Obviously with so many books left in the series, it isn't all downhill from here, but clearly seeds are being planted that will help steer the series in the future. Warmaster Lah and Nom Anor are both well written and quite nasty. Nom Anor's undercover work is more pleasing with each episode. Clearly he is a down in the trenches creature that has done much to aid the Vong invasion in ways that may not always be revealed. Overall, I was quite happy with this episode. I went through it very quickly and as I've said, having some real payoff in the Jacen Solo pity party he's been having was very welcome indeed. Major Characters | | Anakin Solo
