Summary: The best Star Wars book I've ever read!
Review: This book has eveything you need to make a good Star Wars book. We have all of our favorite characters, plus some new ones. Mara Jade teams up with Leia of all people. Not to mention, Han and Leia's kids begin to develop distict personalities. If you like C-3PO, well, this is his best book. We have very funny scenes with the worst combination of characters that any author could think of: C-3PO and Lando, with Lando having to admit that he needs Threepio there. Ouch! One of my personal favorite parts is at the very beginning. Han Solo finds himself trying to safely land a ship on the surface of a possibly hostile planet, with an agoraphobic Selonian in command. This is a great book, and you won't be able to put it down once you read the first page.

Summary: a good conclusion to the trilogy
Review: This is a good book. It concludes the trilogy well. The story line is great, and you'll love the way the characters are portrayed, especially the twins.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful ending to a decent trilogy
Review: This is one of best conclusions to a Star Wars trilogy of books that I have read. Zahn by far beats out all the Star Wars authors I have read so far, but Roger Allen's conclusion to the Corellian Trilogy had much of the same feel that Zahn had in his Thrawn trilogy.

Filled with deep rooted good characterization and actions, the author does a wonderful job at bringing the reader close to the characters as they uncover the secrets to the repulsors and Centerpoint Station. It is also the author's natural ability for good characterization that makes the sacrifices that are made in these books by many characters both heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. This book has emotional pull as well as solid action.

The only hesitation I have toward all three books is the overdone technical narrative, which slows down much of the action (until the end). The book could easily have been thirty to fifty pages shorter if Roger Allen had cut down the technical thought process on how to fix things like sublight engines and nav computers. Still, with the way the author conducted the ending to this trilogy, this little issue can be forgiven. I can't think of giving the final book to this series anything less than five stars. It's a wonderful series overall.

Summary: BBBBBOOOOORRRRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This trilogy may have started well, but it died young. The book was so wordy, and so much room was used exploring selonian culture, there was no room for action. the only part that had any suspense turned out to be nill, and the charackters were carved from wood. also, no giant action scenes at the end! All star wars sereises MUST have some sort of long action scene at the end! this thing Just sort of trailed of.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bre's
Review: Yet again, the galaxy is faced with it's biggest threat ever. This super-weapon threat thing is starting to get on my nerves. Despite this, the plot and the characterisations are good, even thouhgh this child genius thing is getting a little hard to take. Why oh why can't the Solo kids just be normal? The writing is mediocre, nothing more. A book for die-hard Star Wars fans only.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Main Event
Review: You've read Ambush at Corellia and Assault on Selonia, now it's time for the conclusion! Though it is a bit wordy at times with a tad too many plots happening all at the same time, it certainly concludes in an exciting manor. All is revealed and the truth comes out. I was hoping for a more extravagant final battle and for certain villians to be a little more difficult to apprehend, but it didn't matter... This series is here to let us know what our beloved Rebels are doing 14 years after destroying the Empire. I have a feeling that that little Solo boy will be seen again! Let's just hope its for the good of the galaxy...
