Summary: AWSOME
Review: I think this is one of the best staw wars books in a while, dont get me wrong, Zahn's Thrawn trilogy is the best and Shadows of the Empire is my alltime favorite and the New Jedi Order is also great, but this Trilogy is in my top 3. The plot is awsome, especially Han and Chewbacca geting shot down over Kessel and the battle with the Lava monster on Eol Sha was terrific. Im just wrapping up this one up and im planning to read Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force which looks equally as good as Jedi Searce, maybe better. So,I would recommend this to anyone who wants to now what happened after the original Star Wars trilogy.

Summary: review of jedi search
Review: This I think is the best star wars book ever writen. Kevin j Anderson is easly the best star wars writer out there. The plot of the story is great, Han and chewy get shot up and when their sheilds are failing they have no choice but to crash into kessel where one of Hans old pals makes them into slaves in the spice tunnels. The story is great, action packed, And fun to read. Five stars

Summary: Hey I liked it
Review: The first book starts out with Luke Skywalker going before the ruling body of the New Republic and asking that the Jedi be reinstated. He travels the worlds of the new republic searching out leads and gaining new followers. These must then battle a new dark presence taking over on Yavin 4.
Han and Chewie have another challenge--escape from the spice mines at Kessle. They met old enemies and new allies while there.
Overall this was an enjoyable book and probably the beginning of the second best trilogy in the Star Wars universe.

Summary: This is AWESOME!
Review: When i read this book I was hooked. I read this like mad! I found out Luke went to the Darkside, and how he escaped. They acted just like they did in the movie. Those who say this is bad [stink]. My only problem is the Sun Crusher. And he based some of this on his comic book series! C'mon, something original!

Summary: It only gets worse
Review: I hope I'm able to convince any potential buyers to stay away -- far away -- from this book and trilogy. Fortunately, there's been enough time since the trilogy was published that most anyone that reads Star Wars novels knows to stay away from it.Okay, where to begin. Well, to say that this book isn't very original would be akin to saying the Great Wall of China is kinda big. A gross understatement. Not only is the Death Star (well, another version, anyway) in this book, there's yet another "superweapon," the Sun Crusher, in this book. The main villain, Admiral Daala, is...well, she's an idiot. She has no grasp on tactics, no clue as to how to be subtle, no idea of what manipulation is. She manages to lose the Maw Installation and the Sun Crusher, along with getting the Death Star destroyed with one of her Star Destroyers. What's really funny, however, is that the book has very little to do with Luke Skywalker searching for potential Jedi apprentices. We have Han Solo and Chewbacca in the spice mines of Kessel, we have Admiral Ackbar acting pouty, we have Wedge falling in love with someone that has feathers, and we have Daala acting like an idiot, but there's only about two chapters devoted to Luke's quest to form an Academy. Amazingly, this can be considered the best book in the series. The next two get thinner and thinner, leaving us with Kevin J. Anderson grasping at straws. It's not pretty.

Summary: A pretty awful read
Review: All a bit far-fetched and unbelievable. Why would Daala wait hidden in the maw for 10 years if she had heard no news from Tarkin? You would have thought she would have become a bit curious after a year or so and sent out some scouts to find out what was going on - I mean 10 years with no contact from the outside world!!! And an indestructible ship with quantum armour plating?! Not very realistic. Some redeeming parts but few and far between.

Summary: Novel that should be a comic book
Review: Kevin J. Anderson is the guy that really got Star Wars comic books going, and it shows in a painfully glaring way in his writing. First of all, he seems to think that what he writes will have pictures accompanying it so that all he really needs is dialogue. The book (and entire series) is virtually devoid of decent, or even below average, graphical descriptions.
Secondly, as a previous reviewer pointed out, there are way too many superweapons in the series, which goes back to the comic book tendency; generally, for comic books to succeed, something monumental must happen in every comic, or there must be some impressive icon, such as a superweapon, to keep the reader involved. Anderson seems to think this is also needed in his novel. The last point I have to make is that Admiral Daala is a pathetic bad guy. Anderson spends all this time building up her character, and talking about how she overcame all the odds and how she's a brilliant tactician, and then she loses every battle she engages in throughout the series. This book is not worthy of your time. The only reason I give this book two stars instead of one is because several of the characters which Anderson created in this book are well done. This is the ONLY reason.

Summary: A Good Tale
Review: I liked this STAR WARS book more than the others I had read. While interesting, it wasn't too far fetched to make it believable, a problem with some of the other books. Also, it had some good action and an engaging plot.

Summary: If this is the future of Star Wars...
Review: This book certainly did one thing very well: gave me a great opportunity to indulge my passion for ripping to pieces that which I dislike. There are three key elements in this book: 1) Jedi who are portrayed as gods, 2) Superfluous amounts of Superweapons and 3) Brilliant tacticians who are not. Point one (one of my least favorites). Am I the only one who get irritated with the with the whole notion of "Without the almighty Luke Skywalker and his force powers, the Republic will go to ruin." Sure Luke did a lot for the republic, but here he seems to be the only reason it can exist or continue to exist. Granted, Dark Empire makes this all look tame, but still. Point two. Superweapons. Somebody must have run a special on them for this trilogy, because we have 'em all. The sun crusher is the most implausable idea I have ever heard of. And how many times do we need to destroy the Death Star? Obviously quite a few, because they get another one in Darksaber. Point three. Daala. How did she manage to be hailed as a great tactician? This trilogy, for her, is one defeat after another. And her commander is no better. His job is to make suggest poor alternatives to Daala's poor strategies. Well, I think I bashed on this enough. As always, no matter how cynical I am about a book, you are entitled to your own opinion.
