Rating: 2 stars
Summary: All talk and no action!!!! Isn't it supposed to be star WARS
Review: This was pretty much like the last one. there was no action in the other one it didn't bother me cause I thought he would make itup in this book.However he didn't. Another thing is the story of Luke and his mom I can see that's not going anywhere. What's up with shutting out Chewie and Falcon. Lando got shut out too in a mystery ship, no the plot isn't interesting. This is pretty much a book for SW politicians I can't wait to finish the trilogy so I never have to read from this author again.(I read every book)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Quite pssibly the worst Star Wars book in history.
Review: What can I say in this book's defense? Leia is well done, and becomes more human when she begins to question the politics in Coruscant. She manages to be a reasonably well developed character. Even though her plot was descent, the ending was terrible, nullifying all the development in the world. I was also annoyed at how the talks between her and Nil Spaar dragged on in the first book of the series.

Here's the fun part! Horrible characters were created just for this book, like Plat Malar and General A'baht. What in the world is a K-Wing? TRULY uninspired combat sequences (when there were any). Incompetent people on both sides who act illogically and for no apparent reason. Luke does virtually nothing for the entire book, and even though his plotline EVENTUALLY ties in to Leia's it is still not worth reading about. Han is taken out of the trilogy early on and fails to make a reappearance. Lando and the droids' plot was quite possibly the STUPIDEST Star Wars plot EVER (he finds an alien spacecraft and floats around while Lobot cusses out the obnoxious, snooty Artoo and Threepio). ALL of the main characters were SOOOOO badly out of character it's not even funny, and none of the plots tied together. This was especially infuriating because it would have been SOOOO easy to tie Lando's boring side trek into the rest of the plot (brings vagabond into the battle, tips the balance in favor of the Republic). None of this happened.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. If you want a good Star Wars story, buy virtually anything else out there. Especially Heir to the Empire, the Jedi Academy Trilogy, or The Courtship of Princess Leia.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It is impossible to understand how anyone liked thi stuff!
Review: When we begin the book it seems to be interesting,but then it becomes so boring and it is hard to keep reading.The Duskan League is so much smarter than the Republicans- or I should say that Princess Leia and the Senate are so dumb-and Luke tries to hide from everyone(with the most idiotic excuses that makes the reader think he is another character).At try to guess who saves the end of the party?...Yes,the Imperial Army Corps! Anyway,if you have the guts to read this dull book,skip the parts that Lando acts-Mr.McDowell was able to put the nice smuggler in the worst plot(and totally expendable and unrelated to the mainline of the story)I've ever read in the StarWars Universe. PLEASE DON'T LET MR. McDOWELL WRITE ANY MORE BOOKS OF THIS DREAMLAND!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: lackluster
Review: Worst of the series. Author spent too much time developing non-descript characters and less on the core characters we have come to love. Biggest disappointments were the vagabond Lando was chasing all over the universe and the search for Luke's mother. Leave this series on the shelf.
