Publisher Description

Merciless attacks by an invincible alien force have left the New Republic reeling. Dozens of worlds have succumbed to occupation or annihilation, and even the Jedi Knights have tasted defeat. In these darkest of times, the noble Chewbacca is laid to rest, having died as heroically as he lived--and a grief-stricken Han Solo is left to fit the pieces of his shattered soul back together before he loses everything: friends, family, and faith.

Refusing help from Leia or Luke, Han becomes the loner he once was, seeking to escape the pain of his partner's death in adventure . . . and revenge. When he learns that an old friend from his smuggling days is operating as a mercenary for the enemy, he sets out to expose the traitor. But Han's investigation uncovers an even greater evil: a sinister conspiracy aimed at the very heart of the New Republic's will and ability to fight--the Jedi.

Now Han must face down his inner demons and, with the help of a new and unexpected ally, honor Chewbacca's sacrifice in the only way that matters--by being worthy of it.

"Enjoyed this one, but it was more of a Han Solo adventure, and you'd need to know what and where he's coming from. So reading these series in order made this story a good side story so far, not sure how this is going to affect the whole picture. I look forward to reading the next book."

    " This book is pretty much the reason why I'm so behind on the Star Wars EU after years of reading it up to date. I actually can't believe it's been a decade since this came out. It's not terrible, but it just couldn't hold my interest. So I'd dropped it for years before coming back to it (I'm not even sure if it was this volume or the second that I actually paused on. I found myself reading the other stories that came out instead, like Zahn's Outbound Flight and so on. Somehow, I made it through them, and am now stuck on Balance Point, which has also been in the middle for years. I'm just not meant to enjoy the NJO. "

    " I enjoyed this one. Han's grief seemed very real and I found Droma the Ryn entertaining--plus, unlike Chewie, we get to hear Droma's dialouge and not just Han's responses to it. "

    " This one doesn't mesh very well with the rest of the SW universe or New Jedi Order series, but it's still necessary for the series continuation. Recommended only to Star Wars fans who want to make sure to read every book in the New Jedi Order series. "

    " So far I think NJO straight up sucks. It's good to have Han back. I found this slightly more interesting than the Dark Tide books as we actually get a bit more into the motivations and technique of the enemy. Who are still boring as [fill in the blank]. "
