Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Revelation by Karen Traviss
Book Blurb: During this savage civil war, all efforts to end Jacen Solo’s tyranny of the Galactic Alliance have failed. Now with Jacen approaching the height of his dark powers, no one -- not even the Solos and the Skywalkers
-- knows if anything can stop the Sith Lord before his plan to save the galaxy ends up destroying it.
Jacen Solo’s shadow of influence has threatened many, especially those closest to him. Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous. Meanwhile, Ben Skywalker, still haunted by suspicions that Jacen killed his mother, Mara, decides he must know the truth, even if it costs him his life. And as Luke Skywalker contemplates once unthinkable strategies to dethrone his nephew, the hour of reckoning for those on both sides draws near. The galaxy becomes a battlefield where all must face their true nature and darkest secrets, and live -- or die -- with the consequences.
Book 8 of 9. Things are starting to really move now. I really enjoyed the Fett/Jaina story line. Traviss has done an excellent job fleshing Fett out and Jaina is finally starting to let down the walls she built around herself way back on the New Jedi Order Series. About time she started showing her emotions. Ben has really grown on me in this series, he's an interesting mix of Luke and Mara. I enjoyed watching him investigate Mara's death mixing standard investigative techniques with Jedi ones. Jacen is darn near Vader all over. Although I was relieved to see him show some remorse over some of the thinigs he's done. This series has really set the SW Universe on it's ear. I can't wait to see how they're going to wrap things up come May.
