"The new Jedi order completely outpaces anything in the Starwars genre. This series was Dark, exciting, fast paced, and inspired. The writing was fantastic and the level of philosophy and force history was unparalleled. If your a fan at any level of the Starwars Universe than this series is a must read. It is on my top 5 of all time for a series and I treasured every moment I spent in that time. But beware, this isn't your typical Starwars book, be ready for a level of intensity that you've never seen. May the force be with you.!" — Jesse (5 out of 5 stars)

" I'm a dork :-P I love Star Wars books! If you're into this kind of thing, you'll know why I love these! "
" A book in the series where the dreaded Vong is attacking the galaxy that is far,far away. The reader needs to read the other books in this series to understand what is going on. This was a nice, quick read in the expanded universe. Nothing spectacular and this is not the finale of the series. It does what it is intended to do. Moves the story along to the next book in the series. I did enjoy the scenes where the Imperial Remnant where involved. It was nice to see them involved in the galaxy's present situation. "
" My feelings about the New Jedi Order series are still fairly much the same from the last book: I have a hard time excepting the Yuuzhan Vong as they exist. However, I enjoyed this story immensely. I look forward to continuing the series just so I can see where it goes. "
" I liked it. It was kinda hard to get into but once it got going nothing could stop it!! It was intense and well thought through and I loved it! "
" Not a particularly exciting book as far as Star Wars novels go. It felt more like a novel that continues to set up the Yuuzhan Vong rather than anything else - which I suppose is really what it was meant to be. "
" The war is really kicking into gear now and the final showdown in this book is a great moment in Star Wars history "
" Stackpole crafts a rather imaginative and engaging story. He seems to have an acceptable grasp of the characters, but goes a little awry in the midddle. He does get things back on track for a rewarding finish. "
" Pretty good. I don't think it'll be my favorite in the series due to Stackpole's undeniable Tom Clancy-like technical writing style, but still a necessary step in the overall story. "
" The New Jedi Order is my favorite series in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It is a long and epic story, with large ramifications for all the Expanded Universe characters. It will keep you busy for a while! "
" This book had some cool battles, political conflict and internal tension dividing the Jedi Order. "
" A brilliant follow up to Onslaught, this book has a good plot & continues the Vong invasion into the galaxy "
" Ill write about this later. "
" A typical Stackpole Star Wars novel, which is to say highly readable. Unsurprisingly, Corran Horn's story is particularly well done. "
" It was a well written book, but after two chapters of the next book, Agent of Chaos by James Luceno, I found that Stackpole's style is nowhere near as vibrant as Luceno's and it's for that reason that I gave it three stars instead of 4. "
" This will be the last New Jedi Order book I read. Stackpole does a decent job, but I do not like the Yuuzhan Vong as a villain. "
" Better, much better. Stackpole rises above the formulaic, if not the formula, and creates a genuinely interesting tale. The mechanics, as usual, are good. "
" Epic story, with a weak end. Not the final Battle to be sure. But the stupidity of the Republic at this point is staggering. I mean I get that fear is over ruling logic, but the blame game is just silly. I say the Jedi leave them to their fates. Corran is the man. "
" These books all blur together for me, so this one gets two stars simply for not being interesting enough to make me remember anything distinct about it. "
" Didn't like it as much as the first two... "
" Good book, ending was pretty lame. Don't really like this author's writing style. "
