Book Description
The New York Times bestselling Star Wars series The New Jedi Order enthralls readers with its epic drama and thrilling adventure. Now readers will pierce the very heart of darkness. . . .
It is a solemn time for the New Republic, as the merciless Yuuzhan Vong continue their campaign of destruction. The brutal enemy has unleashed a savage creature capable of finding—and killing—Jedi Knights. And now Leia Organa Solo faces a terrible ultimatum. If the location of the secret Jedi base is not revealed within one week, the Yuuzhan Vong will blast millions of refugee ships into oblivion.
As the battered but still unbroken Jedi scramble to deal with the newest onslaught, Leia’s son Anakin lays out a daring plan. He will lead a Jedi strike force into the heart of enemy territory in order to sabotage the Yuuzhan Vong’s deadliest weapons. There, with his brother and sister at his side, he will come face-to-face with his destiny—as the New Republic, still fighting the good fight, will come face-to-face with theirs. . . .

A turning point,
By Rogueperson (Rockville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to admit I like this book. I'm an avid Star Wars fan and this book gave me something that was somewhat missing in all the other books including Zahn's. Please don't assume that I didn't like Zahn's books, I loved them. However, in all the star wars books, I never felt that any of the main characters were in trouble. They felt invulnerable. This book changed all that. It revealed to us that the characters were in fact vulnerable. I felt the sadness of Leia when she finds out her son does. I felt the despair and the struggle in Jaina. This book is definitely a turning point. Lets just hope they can make something out of this mess without loosing the feel.

Excellent!,
By Zetta "zettazofia" (Hockeytown, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star (Mass Market Paperback)
This was probably the best in the NJO so far, but also the most shocking- even compared to "Vector Prime". Well written, the characters are strong and interesting, and the story is well written, though so much is going on that it becomes confusing at times.I warn you, have your tissues ready at the end, you're in for a major disappointment. I hope that Dennings will have a few more to contribute to the Star Wars books, because this one was awesome.

OH MY GOD! They Killed Anakin! You Nerf-Herders!,
By Felix H. Brown, III (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star (Mass Market Paperback)
Despite this being one of the more suspenseful cliff-hangers in the Star Wars nJo (New Jedi Order) series, I have a huge beef.Four years ago, I reviewed "Vector Prime", lamenting the fact that RA Salvatore would be pigeonholed as the man who killed Chewbacca. I also reminded them that although Salvatore might have fired the shot, it was George Lucas, master of all that is Star Wars, who ordered the hit. And I still feel that Lucas made the right decision to order his writers/hitmen to take a "nobody is safe" attitude. Having said that... WHO TOLD HIM TO OKAY ANAKIN SOLO, THE STAR OF JUNIOR JEDI KNIGHTS, GETTING WHACKED?!
