This books was kind of a letdown from the first in the series "Jedi Search." I was hoping for a great story arc and was letdown. I was hoping to see more or Gantoris and his "Dark Man" although we do meet him and see him together I think it was a waste of what Gantoris could of been. Very disappointed.

As for the Sun Crusher, a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo and Kyp Durron. I thought that Mr. Anderson uses this weapon terribly wrong. First of I believe no government would of ever do what the New Republic did with it.

And as I do not want to give any spoilers away, all I will say is this about Luke. It is a shame in how the first in the new Jedi Knights is being treated like an idiot in this one. He is Luke Skywalker for God sakes not Harry Potter. Give him more strength. The character was written like he was weaker then what he was when he was a farm boy.

I really hope the third book pulls this series together. I came in reading the first one fast and loved it this one took me longer cause I was disappointed. A rarity for me when reading. ( )

The chapters are quite short, and the story flits from one perspective to another, it ultimately feels very slight and sedate and about nothing, even though there are some momentous events in the novel. All the characters are flat. Wedge Antilles falling in love with the person who designed the Death Star without knowing it would be used to destroy planets was really something, and him grieving when she loses her memories and identity was pretty underwhelming. Still, Anderson is a fairly competent story-teller, at least on the level of dialogue and sentence construction. ( )

Chapter 2 of the Jedi Academy Trilogy. OK, so Anderson took a bit longer to build up the complexity than I expected. It is now here. And like any middle chapter, this is the most darkest with regards to what happens: a prime character has her memory wiped clean, Han Solo loses the Millennium Falcon, Luke Skywalker is struck down by one of his students, and the head of state, Mon Mothma, is quickly dying. And these are just a few of the things happening! There is so much more going on that I can't list it all! All of it though is very enjoyable and kept me on the edge of my seat. Now I'm dying to read the final chapter! ( )

Dedication
[Paperbook] To LUCY AUTREY WILSON, of Lucasfilm Licensing . . . who gets thrilled just to see her name in the acknowledgements of a book; no telling what she'll do when she sees a dedication! Lucy has always been enthusiastic, wiling to listen to ideas and offer her own, and a pleasure to work with on all my STAR WARS projects.
