Ne znam koliko, ali dosta slabiji actual plot. ( ) Discriminating fans know that every Star Wars novel should be by Matthew Stover and/or Troy Denning and/Greg Keyes: their work is the very definite highlights of The New Jedi Order. Traitor takes this war we've been reading and makes it about something, applies a philosophical underpinning, and then questions the very same underpinning. The cover makes this book look like it's of a pair with Dark Journey, and I guess technically it is, but Traitor outperforms Dark Journey on every possible level. Good characters, good story, good plotting, good jokes. The ending is epic. This isn't quite Star by Star or Conquest, but it's by far one of the best NJO books. The New Jedi Order: « Previous in sequence | Next in sequence » I think this is an incredible Star Wars novel, and a fantastic addition to the New Jedi Order series. Finally, all those endless ruminations on the nature of the Force that seemed so superfluous in all the other books have a place where they fit in perfectly. The tight focus on Jacen Solo as he undergoes his indoctrination in the culture of the Yuuzhan Vong at the hands of Vergere makes this a tight, claustrophobic, character-driven novel, the likes of which are sorely lacking in the Star Wars extended universe. Honestly, Vergere is probably the most fascinating character since Tim Zahn gave us Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn nearly twenty years ago. Yes, she's been present throughout the series, but this is the first time we really see her in extended action. Jacen Solo finally doesn't suck as a character due mostly to her guidance, after spending the bulk of this series so far being absolutely pointless. He in turn does something similar for Ganner Rhysode, whose evolving personality is, I think, handled really well. I want more SW books like this one. I picked up this book without even reading any of the other books in the NJO series. A mistake? Perhaps, but I regret nothing. This is a near-perfect Star Wars book, and one of the best books in general that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Jacen Solo is a very sympathetic character, and his journey is one of suffering and enlightenment: feelings that an engaged reader just might experience themselves over the course of this book. An amazing read; Stover is the best author the EU has to offer! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From the depths of catastrophe, a glimmer of hope. After the capture of Coruscant, the mighty heart of the New Republic, a stunned galaxy fears that nothing can stop the Yuuzhan Vong. Still, that crushing defeat produces one small miracle: Jacen Solo is alive. Yet he can scarcely imagine himself in stranger circumstances. The young Jedi Knight is in the care of Vergere, a fascinating creature of mystery and power, her intentions hard to fathom, her cruelties rarely concealed. But this master of inscrutable arts has much to teach the young Jedi...for she holds the key to a new way to experience the Force, to take it to another level - dangerous, dazzling, perhaps deadly. In the wrong hands, the tremendous energies of the Froce can be devastating. And there are others watching Jacen's progress closely, waiting patiently for the moment when he will be ready for their own dire purposes. Now, all is in shadows. Yet whatever happens, whether Jacen's newfound mastery unleashes light or darkness, he will never be the same Jedi again... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
