Book Reviews of Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 4)
Book Review: Han Solo is Back!
Summary: 4 Stars
James Luceno is only getting his feet wet in the Star Wars universe, but the Robotech veteran gets things steaming right along after a slow first quarter. The dialogue at first is a little ponderous, with drawn-out statements that seem a little wrong, but it gets better.
The character of Han Solo is the key point of the book, which was great to see since he seemed to take a back seat to everyone else. Between the time that Chewie dies on Sernpidal (SPOILER!) and the end of this book, the reconciliation between Han and his son Anakin really hits a father.
I like the new copilot character that they've given to Han. He's a bit like Han with his sense of humor, and also a little like Lando, but with less of the smooth pretense. I hope he sticks around a while.
Luceno really gets down to the guts of Han Solo, and it is his insight which saves the Jedi from certain doom at the hands of an assassin. It's Han Solo at his gut-feeling best, and I couldn't reccomend this book more.

Summary of Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 4)
Merciless attacks by an invincible alien force have left the New Republic reeling. Dozens of worlds have succumbed to occupation or annihilation, and even the Jedi Knights have tasted defeat. In these darkest of times, the noble Chewbacca is laid to rest, having died as heroically as he lived--and a grief-stricken Han Solo is left to fit the pieces of his shattered soul back together before he loses everything: friends, family, and faith.Refusing help from Leia or Luke, Han becomes the loner he once was, seeking to escape the pain of his partner's death in adventure . . . and revenge. When he learns that an old friend from his smuggling days is operating as a mercenary for the enemy, he sets out to expose the traitor. But Han's investigation uncovers an even greater evil: a sinister conspiracy aimed at the very heart of the New Republic's will and ability to fight--the Jedi.
Now Han must face down his inner demons and, with the help of a new and unexpected ally, honor Chewbacca's sacrifice in the only way that matters--by being worthy of it.
