Summary: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST STAR WARS NOVELS IN A LONG TIME!
Comment: This is a great novel, but am I the only one who feels the books have gotten smaller and smaller? The type seems bigger, and the pages seem smaller. The only novels that seem to compare to the Bantam Spectra books in size is the Agents of Chaos books. We pay the same price, but for smaller books.
The positive side, however, is that this is a very enjoyable read, and you'll be tempted to read it cover to cover. This is the first novel I have read by J. Gregory Keyes, and I was impressed by his abilities to create a character-driven Star Wars novel, steeped in action and emotion. He does a great job of tying previous Star Wars stories together, and even though I have never read the Junior Jedi Knights series, I was not turned off or confused by the references to them in this book. It moves at a very fluid pace.
Anakin Skywalker rushes to Yavin 4, the jungle moon that has been the academy for jedi knights for many years now. The Peace Brigade, who in an attempt to appease the Yuuzhan Vong, are there on a mission of conquest and kidnapping. They plan to steal the young Force-adapts and hand them over the enemy. The New Republic, of course, still does nothing, and does not send a fleet to meet them and stop the kidnappings. While Luke Skywalker attempts to contact the smuggling chief Talon Karrde, Anakin is in the middle of the biggest adventure of his life. He must find a way to survive in a wild enviroment, without his lightsaber, and avoid capture by the Vong and Peace Brigade while trying to rescue his dear friend Tahiri.
This novel, while too short in my opinion, offers an enjoyable read, an a good look into the mind of Anakin Skywalker. For all you Star Wars fans who may have been turned off by Balance Point or Agents of Chaos II, rest assured, this one offers hope, light humor, and a rousing action adventure that will re-invigorate your love for the Star Wars universe.

Summary: A great book!
Comment: This book is very interesting. It's an new Jedi Order book which continues the Star Wars saga.
No longer content with the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong have already shown, Warmaster Tsavong Lah has demanded the heads of all the Jedi! Now the Jedi knights are in terrible danger-and none more so than the young Jedi students at the Jedi academy on Yavin 4(the moon where the Praxeum is) Already the sympathizers known as the peace Brigade are in the Yavin system-and a Yuuzan Vong fleet is not far behind.
at Luke SkyWalkers(tm)* request, Talon Kardde mounts an expedition to rescue the young the students. Anakinn Solo has his own ideas. Impatient and figuring that that forgiveness is easier to come by than permission, He takes off for Yavin 4 on his X-Wing.
When it comes to confidence, courage and raw Force(tm*)talent, Anakin has few peers. But when his friend, Tahiri is seperated from the others he is on a mission to save her.
This is one of the best Jedi order books out there:)

Summary: NJO finally shines.
Comment: This book is simply amazing, and actually might be one of the best Star Wars books ever written. Keyes shows here that he doesn't need to have five different plotlines in order to give a story momentum. Instead, the focus is on Anakin's race to save his best freind, Tahiri, a student at the Jedi Academy, from being turned into a Yuzzhan Vong. The plot might be predictable, but the characters are the true centerpoint of the novel. Keyes is the first NJO author to actually bring character depth to the Yuzzhan Vong. While the sequel, Edge of Victory II: Rebirth, might not be the best, this book will leave readers deeply satisfied.
