![]() Star Wars Legends (123) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is another New Jedi Order side story that I'd read before, but never in context: I don't know if this is true, but it reads as if it was cut right out of the middle of Destiny's Way, and it was released as an eBook alongside it. I don't think I read it until three years later, though, when it was printed in the back of Dark Nest I: The Joiner King. On its own, I seem to recall, it's a fun side adventure: the Galactic Alliance has to take the Hutt world of Ylesia from the Yuuzhan Vong and the Peace Brigade, only it's currently being run by the weaselly Thrackan Sal-Solo, cousin of Han. Thrackan is a dumb-but-fun villain, and it's enjoyable to see all his plans unravel. But while I remember enjoying Ylesia when I originally read it back in 2005, if you pause Destiny's Way in the middle to read it, it comes across as irrelevant padding: it's only a distraction to the main plot of the novel it was (presumably) snipped from. I would have been better off reading this on its own than in the middle of the bigger story. The New Jedi Order: « Previous in sequence | Next in sequence » Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

No Star Wars fan will want to miss this exciting eBook exclusive adventure from Nebula Award-winner Walter Jon Williams, author of the Star Wars The New Jedi Order hardcover novel, Destiny's Way. That's Jedi Knight Kyp Durron's opinion about the planet Ylesia, home base of the so-called Peace Brigade, a group of traitors dedicated to hindering the war efforts of the New Republic and hastening the ultimate victory of the merciless Yuuzhan Vong. Kyp's plan calls for a lightning-fast strike, backed with overwhelming force, to destroy the Brigade's offensive capabilities and teach prospective traitors that betrayal carries a heavy price. But young Jacen Solo, still bearing the scars of his imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong, has a better idea: a daring raid into the heart of Ylesia's capital, with the objective of capturing the Brigade's top leaders--including the newly sworn-in President, Thrackan Sal-Solo, cousin to Jacen and his twin, Jaina. But unknown to the Jedi and the New Republic forces, Supreme Overlord Shimrra of the Yuuzhan Vong has dispatched reinforcements to the Ylesia system. Instead of a swift surgical strike, Jaina, Jacen, Kyp, and their comrades are about to find themselves locked in a desperate battle for survival, with the odds stacked against them and time running out. . . . BONUS: This original novella includes an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: New Jedi Order: Force Heretic I: Remnant and an interview with the author. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
