Summary: The beggining to the FORCE HERETIC series
Review: The Star Wars saga has become a montrous conglomerate. Not only do the movies exist to tell the story of a galaxy far, far away, but there are dozens of books that tell the stories of virtually every important being in the movies, starting as far back as twenty years before Episode l. Which is way I found Remnant refreshing, not only because it is an engrossing read, but it catalogs, not all but many, of the books that tell the galatic story in chronological order before the novel starts.And when it does, it hits the ground running. A vicious, megalomaniac race called the Yuuzan Vong has shattered the New Republic that was established after "Return of the Jedi," spawning a new Galatic Alliance to restore peace to the galaxy. In the Vong's wake, whole civilizations have been destroyed and worlds burned to the ground. The Jedi have been hit hard, with the Vong specifically targeting them for spreading the teachings of the force, which are in contrast to the Vongs' poly-dietic beliefs. In this chaos, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has a plan to defeat the Vong: rumor has it that the Vong were defeated b a living planet called Zonoma Sekot. Luke believes this planet hlods the key to beating the Vong, and he takes a band of brethren out to find it. Luke's sister Leia and her husband Han, are on a mission to reunite the galaxy after years of communications blackouts all throughout the galaxy. What they don't know, is if the blackouts are intentional or really an accident. It is an intricate, enthralling story and authors Shane Dix and Sean Williams tell it with amazing detail and gusto. However, the novel rises and falls with how those details are expressed. Sometimes Williams and Dix catch the prequel syndrome, going into over-elaborate and flat dialouge. Coupled with the overflowing detail that goes into the book , this bogs the book down in mediocrity. But the vast majority of the time, "Remnant" is a rich story, stuffed with detail and incident. A great way to start off the Force Heretic series.
