I wouldn’t say I love the plot, but there are parts of it that were very interesting. Seeing several of these characters from books I’ve loved in the past was a real treat, and it helps that they’re excellent here. I enjoyed all these characters, possibly even more than those from the OT. These characters all return from past works including the Thrawn Trilogy and the Jedi Academy Trilogy, with Callista returning from the previous book Children of the Jedi. Of particular note are Pellaeon, Daala, Dorsk 81, Kyp Durron, and (surprisingly) Callista.

The returning Original Trilogy characters are great, as per usual, as are many returning EU characters. The thing that I really loved here is the characters and their interactions. It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve given a truly positive review to a Legends book-although, really it’s only been a couple months. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado. I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming.
