Publisher Description

From the depths of catastrophe, a glimmer of hope

After the capture of Coruscant, the mighty heart of the New Republic, a stunned galaxy fears that nothing can stop the Yuuzhan Vong. Still, that crushing defeat produces one small miracle: Jacen Solo is alive. Yet he can scarcely imagine himself in stranger circumstances.

The young Jedi Knight is in the care of Vergere, a fascinating creature of mystery and power, her intentions hard to fathom, her cruelties rarely concealed. But this master of inscrutable arts has much to teach the young Jedi . . . for she holds the key to a new way to experience the Force, to take it to another level—dangerous, dazzling, perhaps deadly.

In the wrong hands, the tremendous energies of the Force can be devastating. And there are others watching Jacen’s process closely, waiting patiently for the moment when he will be ready for their own dire purposes. Now, all is in shadows. Yet whatever happens, whether Jacen’s newfound mastery unleashes light or darkness, he will never be the same Jedi again. . . .

"While this book from the NJO arc was not as action packed as some of the earlier entries in the series, it was still quite enjoyable. In it, we saw the "return" of Jacen Solo. We learn that he is not dead, but instead under the tutelage of the strange and exotic Force sensitive alien known as Vergere. She teaches him that the Force is neither light nor dark, and Jacen, seemingly accepts this, and becomes more powerful with the knowledge that a little bit of "dark" attitude is not always bad. I especially liked the scene involving "Ganner's Last Stand" which showed us that Jacen Solo was not the only Jedi maturing and changing as the Yuuzhan Vong invasion continues."

    " This is probably my least favorite of the New Jedi Order books. I didn't particularly care for the writing style-it's an author new to the Star Wars Universe, and he kind of butchered the style. I also HATED that he killed Ganner Rhysode, one of my favorite characters. At least he got a good death. "

    " This whole book is a kind of soliloquy with Jacen tortured by the aliens. It's good, and it makes him seem more human and stuff but still. I took a star off because of the boring parts. "

    " This is my favorite Star Wars book. I stopped reading them after this one came out. On some very deep level, it taught me how much of our character growth comes out of pain. "

    " Finished very quickly. I enjoyed the deeper delve into the Yuuzhan Vong however i dont think I like where this new force perspective is going to take Jacen, my least favorite character anyway. "

    " I thought this book was great. It really developed Jacen's character and made Vergere even more interesting than before. I wasn't expecting it to not feature the rest of the universe but it nice break of pace from the intergalactic affairs of the NJO. "

    " This is one of the best books of the New Jedi Order series. Traitor focuses on Jacen Solo's transformation. There's a lot of poetry and the ongoing debate concerning truths, the dark and light side of the force. But don't worry, there are some great action scenes in this book. "

    " I knew he wasnt dead. It was fun watching him get tortured, and while I don't think he has completely come around, like Kyp, Jacen has made some glorious steps towards the awesome side. The most glorious part of this book, that makes it a must read for fans is the legacy of Ganner! Brilliant! "
