Fiction. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:During this savage civil war, all efforts to end Jacen Soloâ??s tyranny of the Galactic Alliance have failed. Now with Jacen approaching the height of his dark powers, no oneâ??not even the Solos and the Skywalkersâ??knows if anything can stop the Sith Lord before his plan to save the galaxy ends up destroying it.

Jacen Soloâ??s shadow of influence has threatened many, especially those closest to him. Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous. Meanwhile, Ben Skywalker, still haunted by suspicions that Jacen killed his mother, Mara, decides he must know the truth, even if it costs him his life. And as Luke Skywalker contemplates once unthinkable strategies to dethrone his nephew, the hour of reckoning for those on both sides draws near. The galaxy becomes a battlefield where all must face their true nature and darkest secrets, and liveâ??or dieâ??with the consequences.

-Jacen says to random people that he's a sith
-Tahiri story makes no sense, why isn't anyone trying to get her back or at least ask where is she?!

well, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. Caedus is really slipping. Doesn't seem like much of a Sithlord at all. The GA fractures when the Duumvirate of Caedus and Niathal splits. Ben proves with evidence that it was Caedus who killed Mara. Jaina gets training from Fett. Fett uncarbonites his wife who has been in it for close to 30 years. I was mostly disappointed in how lame and shallow the training" of Jaina was by Fett. Saying things like "be a different person" and then using a real sword instead of a lightsaber. Whatever. Everything takes place in a month too. Just seemed very shallow, and there were no humorous spots to lighten things up like in Fury. And LOTS of humanistic moralizing about Jedi, Sith and what is good and what is wrong. Traviss has ruined it by bringing her 21st century humanistic amoralism to the table." ( )

This is the perfect book for my 1,000th addition to my library! I feel this series is set up to conclude more believably than, say, the New Jedi Order - which, while I loved, seemed to end abruptly. While Jacen feels that he is invincible, on the other side those who are lined up to take him down seem well prepared to do so. I really liked seeing Boba Fett and Jaina interact. There is the on-going exploration of light vs. dark force - what makes the difference? Where is the line drawn? I find that an interesting theme - it has application in almost every life as we make decisions that affect others and that make our character. ( )

I've read Revelation twice, and it still confuses me.

There's one major point where the actions of characters simply don't make sense. Jacen could—should—have died during this book. And yet he didn't; the only reason I can see for him being spared is because then Troy Denning would have nothing to write about.

Ignoring that moment of nonsensicalness, Revelation does a good job of picking up where Fury left off, and setting up Invincible. While Traviss relies on her own characters (like Lon Shevu) and not Allston/Denning's, she manages to resolve most of the hanging plot threads. (She also does an excellent job with the Imperials from the Bantam era, especially Pellaeon.)

Revelation turns everybody against Jacen (not just the Jedi and Confederation, but also the Galactic Alliance military, his fellow JCOS, and the Imperial Remnant), setting up what promises to be a rather painful fall in Invincible.

So Revelation was an enjoyable read, and does what it should do in terms of the series… but. But it has that one not-so-tiny moment of fiat, one that worked at the time, but when coming back to write this review has bugged me after both readings.

The book works, and is worth reading, as long as you're willing to overlook that loose thread. ( )
