A review by verkisto
Scourge by Jeff Grubb
3.0
This novel isn't that bad. I didn't know what to expect of it -- I've never seen it come up in lists of the better Expanded Universe books -- but Grubb does a decent job of telling a Star Wars story without featuring any key franchise players and genuinely expanding the universe.
It's unfortunate that the key twist of the story was obvious, and the story suffers a bit for feeling out of place in the timeline (it feels much more like a Clone Wars-era story than one set after the Thrawn novels), but it surprised me. I have to give it credit for that alone.
