Not since Emperor Palpatine have the Jedi battled such monstrous evil. Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed.
Luke Skywalker’s daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong’s nefarious plot to overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts. And time is slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet whose rulers are about to yield to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the Jedi rebels.
On Coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting complete control. But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are thrust into a fierce battle for their lives. Suddenly, the chances of escaping appear nearly impossible. And in space, another battle rages, one that holds ominous consequences for the New Republic—and for the Jedi themselves. . .

This book felt like nothing but filler - there's nothing really that happens here that couldn't have been joined into the first part of the “Enemy Lines” sub-series.
I feel that there isn't a lot to say about this book, so I'm sorry to drop a short review on everyone!
Aaron Allston continues to be a really great writer, even if this book doesn't come close to the last book for me.
There are some interesting concepts explored in this book, and some good storylines, but also some stuff I plainly found a little goofy, and it was a bit too slow for my taste.
Lord Nyax. I am in two minds.
One, I found him pretty cool and felt sorry for him. But two, I also found his design a little silly, and the whole big Force stuff he was doing just felt a little ridiculous and almost campy.
I enjoyed the undercover mission as an idea, loving Luke in the Yuuzhan Vong armour, but it didn't feel like any of the characters that weren't Luke did much on the mission, and it also felt like the mission didn't actually accomplish anything at all.
Some big manbaby died... then they left.
The dogfighting, as always with Allston, was often entertaining to read, but I didn't enjoy the latter part of the big just being one big massive dogfight.
However, I did love the outcome of the battle, I just found that the actual battle itself went on too long.
A good book but nothing special. Sorry for the short review!
7/10
