I really enjoyed this book... I like the philosophy espoused by the main character also. A David and Goliath for the far future, with characters motives well laid out, and showing the advantages of careful planning. Of course in real life, no matter how well you plan, something always goes south... but this is fiction after. Love the choice of weapons, and the effects they cause... and the whole sort of peaceful, non-violent (at least no deaths) protest concept. I look forward to the remaining books in the series... hopefully they will flesh out the world-building a bit more, and show more of the wonderful characters Perry created.

(and for those complaining this is not realistic? It is called Science FICTION for a reason, and authors do have artistic license!) :)

The novel is not bad, but it's not great, either. The new characters are -- with a decent exception or two -- largely forgettable tropes (the ace fighter pilot, the attractive bartender, the conscripted surgeon, etc.), and the established ones ring slightly off to me. Particularly Tarkin is not quite as I know him from the films and cartoons -- though in fairness, this might be due to established EU personality traits I'm not aware of. Vader is better, though his sections suffer from the bending over backwards to make sense of his actions and dialogue in light of both the prequel films and the vast EU continuity largely grown before those films were made.

I was hoping for a political thriller about the creation of the galaxy's most horrific invention, and instead I got a street-level-view of said invention's launch and demise. But it's decent, and once the novel hit the halfway point, it picked up a lot of steam carrying through to the end, which I enjoy as a reader.

Probably the only good thing about this book is that it delves more into the Drej and how their culture works and that they're matriarchal (kind of like clown fish). It wasn't the most compelling storyline but there's not a lot to work with.

I honestly think that Perry looked at the film, saw the plot holes, pitched some ideas on how to fix them, and got shot down, so he just tried to explain them away and failed on that too. This one is just as poorly edited in the other books and comes off as a very cheap, shoddy product with plot holes of its own. Good thing they marketed this to, I guess, young children, who might not notice.

It's not an enjoyable book and it didn't add much to the experience of the film, but it does throw in a few details that might make it worth your while.

Escritas por estrellas del género como Timothy Zahn, Vonda N. McIntyre, Kevin J. Anderson y Barbara Hamly, las novelas de La Guerra de las Galaxias han ampliado la visión de la trilogía de películas de George Lucas y nos han ido ofreciendo la crónica de las nuevas aventuras de Luke Skywalker, la princesa Leia y Han Solo.
