Ratings and reviews

This is definitely one of the most exciting Star Wars novels I have ever read, even though the story kind of falls apart near the end. This book manages to successfully capture the adventurous and youthful spirit of the movies.

Not bad, not great either. Reading some of the history behind it explains why

Foster creates wonderful tales and imbues them with scenes that almost take on their own life.
