Mara 29 Posted July 22, 2011 Well, what, like, four years later? we finally get a sequel. I'll find a link to it later when I'm not feeling lazy. Anyway, I just started this, and am only 3-4 chapters in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 23, 2011 Way to start a good discussion The fate of the Rebellion rests on Luke Skywalker's next move. But have the rebels entered a safe harbor or a death trap? From #1 New York Times bestselling author Timothy Zahn comes a brand-new Star Wars adventure, set in the time between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and featuring the young Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, and the beloved Mara Jade. Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebellion is in desperate need of a new base. So when Governor Ferrouz of Candoras Sector proposes an alliance, offering the Rebels sanctuary in return for protection against the alien warlord Nuso Esva, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie are sent to evaluate the deal. Mara Jade, the Emperor's Hand, is also heading for Candoras, along with the five renegade stormtroopers known as the Hand of Judgment. Their mission: to punish Ferrouz's treason and smash the Rebels for good. But in this treacherous game of betrayals within betrayals, a wild card is waiting to be played.

Mara 29 Posted July 25, 2011 I don't like reading/copying summaries, because they most often contain spoilers. Anyway, just finished it this morning, and I have to say, it was pretty good. Better than I remember Allegiance to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess 35 Posted August 18, 2011 I finished it last night, and I found it interesting, but at times, it confused me. Here's what I thought From the beginning I didn't like Master Axlon, there was just something hinky about him, so I wasn't at all surprised that he betrayed the Rebellion. I liked seeing Luke unsure of himself before his training with Yoda. Until the part when the Reef Diver finally appeared, I was really confused about where Car'das and Thrawn were. The entire time I read those parts, I was going "Where the frick are they?" I was also glad that Mara spared Ferrouz, he was totally set up and didn't deserve death. The Hand of Justice was very cool. Were they in Allegiance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
