Book Review: So much potential, so little offered...
Summary: 3 Stars
I had not read a Star Wars novel in quite a while, which is exactly why I decided to pick up the first book in the Legacy of the Force series. However, this beginning seemed quite bland. If not for my big interest in the Star Wars universe, I probably would have put the book down as uninteresting. The problem with this book was that it did not seem to have a decent plot. Sure this is the kick-start to the series, but the two main story-lines that were explored did not seem to have much of a point to them. It seemed more like a history book than a novel. I found myself liking it in a couple places, but left very unsatisfied overall. I hope the rest of the series makes up for this one.
Summary of Betrayal (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 1)
“[Betrayal] blasts off a new string of adventures starring beloved Star Wars familiars . . . this new installment should please Star Wars fans.”–Publishers Weekly
Honor and duty collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict.
When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush–from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his prot?g? and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives–it’s the most alarming evidence yet that political unrest is threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire.
Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations. Meanwhile Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader. If Luke’s visions come to pass, they will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master . . . and to the galaxy.
