Product Description:
Civil war rages as the Galactic Alliance–led by Cal Omas and the Jedi forces of Luke Skywalker–battles a confederation of breakaway planets that rally to the side of rebellious Corellia. Suspected of involvement in an assassination plot against Queen Mother Tenel Ka of the Hapes Consortium, Han and Leia Solo are on the run, hunted by none other than their own son, Jacen, whose increasingly authoritarian tactics as head of GA security have led Luke and Mara Skywalker to fear that their nephew may be treading perilously close to the dark side.
But as his family sees in Jacen the chilling legacy of his Sith grandfather, Darth Vader, many of the frontline troops adore him, and countless citizens see him as a savior. The galaxy has been torn apart by too many wars. All Jacen wants is safety and stability for all–and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
To end the bloodshed and suffering, what sacrifice would be too great? That is the question tormenting Jacen. Already he has sacrificed much, embracing the pitiless teachings of Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, who has taught him that a strong will and noble purpose can hold the evil excesses of the dark side at bay, bringing peace and order to the galaxy–but at a price.
For there is one final test that Jacen must pass before he can gain the awesome power of a true Sith Lord: He must bring about the death of someone he values dearly. What troubles Jacen isn’t whether he has the strength to commit murder. He has steeled himself for that, and worse if necessary. No, the question that troubles Jacen is who the sacrifice should be.
As the strands of destiny draw ever more tightly together in a galaxy-spanning web, the shocking answer will shatter two families . . . and cast a grim shadow over the future.

The Legacy of the Force series seems to be written by authors who want to do little but sHoW how far the main characters including the Solo and Skywalker clans and their children can justify murder and killing. There's hardly aNY likeable characters in the series. Luke seems full of doubt and then ends up taking vengeance completely out of his character. The Skywalker and Solo children come across as muderous brats who seem to have no knowledge or respect for any of the original Star Wars characters, ... Read More

For the book, in which Jacen becomes a "Dart Someone" i find it a little disappointing and weak. It's still an interesting one, but it lacks strong moments and rememberble quotes.
JACEN: Jacen seems half-asleep the whole time, compared to his usual way of doing things and even thinking.
BEN: Ben is finally starting to act old enough (14) and the puberty does not completely blind him, but nothing major - he's still plain dumb. Actually I blame Ben for absolutely everything that ... Read More

Well I guess I better start out by clearly stating that this review is based upon the entire "Legacy of the Force" series and not solely on this particular book. With that in mind, this same review will be posted on each book in the series under the same guidelines, as a review on the entire series, not just a single book in the series. With that in mind, here goes...
My first comment is that the overall feel for this series seems to be a bit off. Now I don't know if it is me, or if other readers ... Read More

Karen Traviss is an excellent writer, and seems to understand how to describe the brotherhood-type bond of soldiers. Nice work!

I really liked this book. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because the parts with Boba Fett & Mirta were boring to me. The rest though was good. Jacen sends Ben on a mission to assassinate Gejjen. Mara Jade battles Lumiya. Cal Omas is arrested. Ben overhears Lumiya and Jacen talking in Jacen's office. Mara plans to kill Jacen. Lumiya discovers Jacen's secret. Mara battles Jacen. Jacen lethally poisons her. Luke thinks Lumiya did it so He goes after her and kills her. Ben tells his dad it wasn't Lumiya. ... Read More
