Product Description:
"[Betrayal] blasts off a new string of adventures starring beloved Star Wars familiars . . . this new installment should please Star Wars fans." -Publishers Weekly Honor and duty collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict. When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush - from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protege and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives - it's the most alarming evidence yet that political unrest is threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire. Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations. Meanwhile Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader. If Luke's visions come to pass, they will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master . . . and to the galaxy.

I've enjoyed so many of the Expanded Universe novels for Star Wars. Some are definitely much better than others. Unfortunately, there is a downward trend of good material that will hold my interest. I enjoy new characters and broadening away from the original trilogy heroes. However, not every new book needs to include some new facet of those old heroes or their involvement in the stories. I feel that newer characters are strong enough to hold up a plot and their own stories. We don't need to see ... Read More

Being a geeky Star Wars fan, there's a couple of things I'll always envy about its universe: I'll never be able to wield a (real) lightsaber. I'll never be able to use the force (everyone's tried once, right?) And, new to the list - I'll never be able to outwit assassins and go on space adventures when I'm pushing 60 and beyond.
Ages issues aside (Luke, Leia, Wedge are coming up on 60, Han's a few years older, Pellaeon has to be mid-80s), "Betrayal" is a strong beginning to a new chapter ... Read More

I had not read a Star Wars novel in quite a while, which is exactly why I decided to pick up the first book in the Legacy of the Force series. However, this beginning seemed quite bland. If not for my big interest in the Star Wars universe, I probably would have put the book down as uninteresting. The problem with this book was that it did not seem to have a decent plot. Sure this is the kick-start to the series, but the two main story-lines that were explored did not seem to have much of a point to them. ... Read More

And indeed, this does smell vaguely Star Wars. But the fact that this story is about as Star Warsy as an episode of Deep Space 9 is painfully driven home by the attempt to buy your belief with the liberal scattering of names from the films and more successful games. Sadly, the entities in the books connect to their previous incarnations almost solely by name.
The story ducks and weaves around the plot, flourishing the film-names like an 8 year old waving hasbro figurines every time his story hits ... Read More

I think overall Betrayal was a good book. It was interesting to see some sith history. I also liked that they introduced Ben Skywalker. It was unusual to see Jacen kill a jedi. It also showed some of the extent of Jacens force powers. I also liked seing some new characters, such as Admiral Niathal. If you read the New Jedi Order and the Swarm Wars series, this is the book for you. I would reccomend this book to all star wars fans.
