Summary: Ganer the Giant
Review: This review focuses in ganer although I came late to the series I caught up fast but still. Have not read Destinys Way.The book had a gloomy personality to it and really should have focused some on Leia and Luke. But abave all I am a huge fan of Ganer and near the end af the book at his last stand was a heroic thing to do.but I hated as a fan of Ganer. But the part with Verges Vsion and the line "None Shall Pass" engraved in stone was cool so that I why I give tis book three Stars. but it is a real cool book.I am not realy 12 I am 13

Summary: Internal Struggle
Review: I have to admit I was never a Star Wars fan and had never read a book in the series prior to 2002. So I was incredibly delighted to find the NJO series that had me completely hooked. This book in particular. Rather than a lightsaber fighting-fest against the Vong, it was an internal struggle for Jacen to fight beyond the boundaries of his conventional thinking. It reminded me of the scene in the "Matrix" where Neo is in awe about a child bending a spoon when he is reminded that there literally "is no spoon". That is the sort of thing Jacen has to bend his mind around. Is there a good and dark Force? Or is it all good since it can all have Force? Is it only bad based on our motivation for using it? These questions and more weigh on Jacen's mind as he and Vergere engage in the most intense apprentice training of all time.

Summary: Very Strange and Depressing
Review: Having read all the NJO books in the series, I find that this book is very different from the other ones. All the other books have many characters and high-action space battles, etc. but this one seems to deal mostly with only a few characters and philosophical issues about the Force. I didn't really enjoy this book at all because it was so depressing and gloomy, especially in the scene in the destroyed Solo apartment, where Jacen is visited by the "Force-ghost" of Anakin.
Nothing in the series really prepares you for a book of this type because, as I said, it's very different. Other people may have enjoyed it, but I really found it far too depressing to really enjoy.

Summary: An Excellent Read!!
Review: While I've not read all of the installments in the NJO series, I'm quite familiar with most of them, which by all standards are quite excellent! However, not one of them comes even close, in my opinion, to Matthew Stover's endlessly clever and inventive novel, which I expended much energy in resisting to read in one sitting.Stover seems to take it upon himself to layout a new stylish approach to the New Jedi Order series, and pulls it off magnificantly with Traitor. Within the first couple pages of this book, he takes you into the Star Wars Universe via his as-of-yet unrivaled descriptive writing. He then goes on to capture each of the characters' personalities and present the reader with a depth not seen in a Star Wars book before. Twisting an awsome psychological exploration into a philosophical back-drop, Stover tops it all off with an outstanding plot that seems to describe so many of its predecessors. Quite plainly, what he did with Jacen was amazing; what he did with Vergere was beyond all expectations. This book is Amazing!

Summary: Traitor, an excellent read.
Review: I got the book and read it in two nights. Its hardly a short book, but I just didn't want to set it down. One might expect the book to get dull and old after a while, with it really having one one or two main characters. But it didn't. Throughout the book, I've grown to love the characters of Jacen and Vergere. Vergere is the first SW character I can relate to my favorite from ST, which is Garak.

Summary: The best NJO book yet!
Review: I've read practically every book in the Star Wars series and all books of the NJO. In my opinion, Traitor was by far the best in plot as well as the best written book yet! We see and almost experience Jason becoming a man (not the "whiny boy" we were getting use to) and learn far more about the force than ever. Vergere's character is explored more as well and though it's hard to determine if I like her, she's still very interesting. This book is hard to put down!

Summary: Traitor
Review: Unexpectedly this was one of my favorite books in the New Jedi Order series. At first I was expecting it to be boring and pretty much all be about Jacen and his questioning the force. I had never really liked Jacen to begin with and a whole book on him and philosiphy appealed to me like reading the dictonary...but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Now I must say how wrong my initial impression was. The storyline ended up to be very deep and went into a great detail on pains and suffering. It gave us a better insight on the Vong then we had had before. It also had great chacater development with Jacen Solo and by the end of the book he became one of my favorite characters. I loved how I never knew what to expect with Vergere. Her questions and riddles gave me headaches at times but when she partially revealed herself I was happy with the results. I was also happy that they didn't turn Jacen into the warrior we know he's not. Ganner was another great part of the book and although I was upset that he died, I loved how he died a hero and that the Vong will now grow to fear and pass around the story of "The Ganner".

Summary: Look out Zahn and Stackpole!
Review: Timothy Zahn and Micheal Stackpole have been the reigning kings of Star Wars fiction until now. Mathew Stover has crafted a tale that rivals, and at times exceeds that of anything they have written. The story focuses on Jacen Solo's captivity during the period of the last three books. The reader learns almost as much about Jacen as he does. At times, Traitor was a bit philosophical, even a little Zen. This was only appropriate however, because the entire ordeal was a learning experience for Jacen. Finally, an author comes to the only possible explanation for the Vong's absence in the Force! Don't let the philsophical nature of the story scare you away. There's enough action to go around. This may very well be the best Star Wars novel to date, but that's just my opinion.

Summary: Traitor
Review: Excellent. Vergere's character is developed very interestingly and her and Jacen's discussions of the nature of the force are also interesting.

Summary: Traitor By Matthew Stover
Review: Traitor is a book about Jacen Solo and Jacen Solo alone. It contains only a few other "good guy" characters, and Vergere, the wierd bird that tends to flip flop. It seems confusing at first, but once you get used the style of writing used, you can really get what is going on. This book is filled with plot twists and keeps you wondering what will happen until the end. It is a perfect setup for the next book, because it doesn't really focus on the galactic struggle going on in the Star Wars universe. It is focused just on Jacen and his struggles. I liked this book and hope for more like it.
