Simply put, this book is EPIC! Taking place during the years between Episode III and IV of the Star Wars film saga, this book is the film that should be made as Episode 3.5.

It is so epic, I cannot write too much about it for fear of spoiling all the awesomeness for the next person. I cannot believe it took me so long to get around to reading this. SO, SO much more well written that your typical Extended Universe Star Wars novel. Plus, this novel really puts meat on the bones of the Star Wars story that we already love and gnaw on...
