It’s always exciting to see Leia and Mara have scenes together… if only Mara felt more in character and their relationship felt more like it flowed organically from the Thrawn Trilogy.

This is a fine, serviceable book, which seems to be the standard in the EU. It tells a tale, has some drama, and features some familiar characters. Allen at least captures the characters of Luke, Leia, and Han, though he seems to go a bit overboard with Wedge. Being the second book in a trilogy, it ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, and like the first book, it doesn't feel like it has a self-contained story.

Good characterization is bogged down by a bad story. Giant weapon that blows up stars has already been done and if there's a huge space station that Corellians know about, why does Han think the Death Star is too big to be a space station in the movie? I want to like this, but there's too many flaws.

A good action book and a solid bridge between the opening and closing acts of the Corellian Trilogy. I didn't feel that it suffered from the common "middle book" drag found in so many trilogies. Definitely recommended, both for a classic Star Wars story and its relevance later in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
