Product 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.

Just plain horrible,

This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (Mass Market Paperback)
This must be the worst book in the entire NJO series, it's like James Luceno hasn't even watched Star Wars. Luceno's representation of Han Solo was so off the mark it made me cry a little, instead of Han having incredibly smooth lines, like in the movies, he had stupid cliche ones, like "Nobody's keeping me away from my son. Not to mention that Luceno clearly tries to replace Chewbacca with the NJO equivalent of Jar-Jar Binks. A warning to all Star Wars fans who hate crappy books, don't buy Hero's Trial!!

Put away the thesaurus!!,

I'd been enjoying this series quite a bit.I wa actually looking forward to the Luceno book since I'd read another SW book he wrote a little while back. This NJO book must have been his first attempt. I'm convinced he wrote the book from cover to cover, then went over the whole thing with a thesaurus. In doing so, he mangled the flow, and brought any drama and suspense to a screeching halt. Agents of Chaos 2 was MUCH more bearable. But this book was definitely tough to get through.

ZZZZZZZ - a real sleeper,

This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (Mass Market Paperback)
Forget Nodoze man... just read this!! This is James Luceno's first star wars book, and I have to give him a little slack just because he is new. However... He failed to capture the tone, and the general overall feel of the series that the other authors had created. Although discriptive with his words, he doesn't use them to capture a scene... he just uses them to be discriptive. Text books do the same thing. Although he did try to do some funky stuffs wuth his approach... like writing from Threepio's view at Chewie's funeral... he just doesn't pull it off. He doesn't advance the plot, or add to the charector at all; (this entire book is about Han.) And I don't know Han any better now than I did before. 350+ pages of total waste.An A for effort. A failing grade overall.
