Why didn't I read this eight years ago when it was published? Next to the Thrawn books, this is shaping up to be a favorite of the new canon. A great story about a planet on the outer rim that provides perspective on the empire's actions, movers and shakers following the battle at Endor. It is interwoven with short stores about the seemingly unrelated happenings elsewhere in the galaxy that are also interesting.
The characters were great, the story was great, the writing was great. Very nearly five stars and I can't quite put my finger on what it is that is keeping me from giving the full five. Can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
