Summary: Predictable, prefabricated, no surprises
Review: The Black Fleet books are a disappointment. They simply aren't anything as exciting as the Timothy Zahn trilogy. The story is a good one - a mysterious alien race bent on genocide. But the delivery is extremely predictable. Leia is dealing with political backstabbing, Han is learning how to live without smuggling, Chewie is protecting everyone, Luke is on some fool Jedia crusade and Lando is using his gambler's smarts to fool everybody. I could see each plot twist far before it came. There were no surprises, no risk and therefore no enjoyment in reading this.

Summary: Details, Details... Details Abound
Review: The level of detail in this book is great. It really gets you into the full stucture of the "current" Star Wars universe. The only thing that I could say against it is that it ends way too fast. Perhaps Mr. Kube-McDowell will make the next one longer because there is quite a large part left to tell.

Summary: Stinks
Review: THeres like 3 plots in this book. And they all suck. Just as you sort of kinda maybe get to like it, it totally changes to something else. I have read a lot of star wars books, and I liked most of them. But this one really sucked. Worse than Children of the Jedi
Rating:
Summary: UGH
Review: They don't get much worse than this. Please don't but this book in order to send Lucas a message that books this bad will not be tolerated.

Summary: Horrible. This if for the people who defend this trash
Review: This book is lousy. Its pointless and dragged out. If these 3 books were made into 1, it may be decent. But this 2nd book is just horrible. I seen one person say "I am sorry that your limited intellect cannot stand plot development and intricate story lines" 1st of all, plot development is suppose to lead to a plot right? NOTHING HAPPENS. Lando solves nothing in book 2, Luke figures out nothing in book 2. Nothing happens. 2nd of all whats so intricate about a vessal that was made by a long lost race. Sure its in interesting ship, but it could have been wrapped up in about 50 pages. Not page after page, book after book. Oh No, a Hitler like character in Nil Spaar. Dont get too intricate on me. Boring story.

Summary: Star Wars
Review: This is an interesting story. I hope someday Luke learns who his mother really is.

Summary: Action Deficient
Review: This is my personal opinion, but there's just not enough starship combat in this book. Mr McDowell could have explored starship combat in the Star Wars universe in greater detail. It was quite interesting, but could get a bit tiring to read at times due to the format (i.e. a hundred or so pages devoted to one of the main storylines).

Summary: A HORRIBLE BOOK!!!!!!!!
Review: This is probably the worst star wars book i've ever read. It's even worse then the Hambly and McIntyre books. All in all it is not worth reading and spends too much time on the luke and lando sections.

Summary: Author, characters killing time until sequel.
Review: This is the book that made me say "enough is enough" and stop reading SW books. If ever a book was written to fulfill a contractual obligation, this is it. Kube obviously ran out of ideas, but had to come up with a "middle book." Thus we get Lando and Lobot goofing around in a "living ship"--a plot stolen from a 1980 comic book (the one before Empire started.) Get this--they solve the puzzle of the ship by gazing into one of those "Magic Eye" posters you see at the mall. NO I AM NOT KIDDING! Read the first series again or get hooked on Kerouac or Vonnegut or something. Avoid this book.
