Product Description

Product Description

The Star Wars epic continues its dazzling space odyssey in The New Jedi Order–as Luke and Mara, Leia and Han, and others battle the mighty enemy from beyond the galactic rim.

The brutal Yuuzhan Vong are scouring the universe for Jedi to slaughter. With no help from the divided New Republic, the Jedi stand alone against their seemingly invincible foe. Han and Leia Organa Solo risk deadly consequences with their controversial tactics to bolster the Jedi resistance. After uncovering a new Yuuzhan Vong menace, Anakin and Tahiri find themselves wanted for murder by the Peace Brigade. To avoid capture, they jump into hyperspace . . . and into trouble far graver.

Hunted by the Yuuzhan Vong, wanted as criminals by the New Republic, and with unrest stirring within their own ranks, the Jedi find peril everywhere they turn. But even in the midst of despair, while the most fiercest battle of all looms on the horizon, hope arises with the birth of one very special child. . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not a NJO best, Aug 5 2003
By Steven Howard (Sudbury, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
After reading through Rebirth and then checking out the reviews its gotten, I was actually pretty surprised that some people gave it 4 and 5 stars. I'm not saying its a bad book as I gave it 3 stars myself, but I just found the plot it too scattered and all over the place. Keyes tells four different stories which are almost completely unrelated, even at the end where only a couple of the threads tie together in an underwhelming final battle. The same can be said for the duology as a whole. This book doesn't seem to have anything to do with the first novel. I read the two books nearly a year apart and didn't feel lost at all in the stories. I heard that this duology was actually a fill in for a longer trilogy which was canceled at the last minute, which would explain the scattered plot. For a last minute gig Keyes did okay with it I guess,lol.
I also wasn't crazy about some of the dialog between Han and Leia especially earlier on in the book. They almost seemed to be speaking in Star Wars clichés, and the dialog didn't seem natural to me at all. Maybe its just me though because others seem to think Keyes did very well with the various Star Wars personna.
Its a shame that Keyes was given a limited time frame to work with on this one, because he is a gifted storyteller. I'm excited to check out his new fantasy series. I found myself anxious to turn the page while going through Rebirth even though the story was underwhelming as a whole.
It seems that alot of people that reviewed this book also read every Star Wars book that comes along, so I doubt that even a terrible review would keep you guys from buying the book, but for those like myself who only have time to read a handfull, there are better NJO books out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very fun read, May 22 2003
I wasn't a big fan of the first book in this duology, Conquest, so I didn't have high hopes for Rebirth. Luckily, Greg Keyes surprised me. Rebirth is a very readable book--the combination of short chapters, interesting plotlines, and well-written characters kept me turning the pages. I was very impressed with the plot involving Jaina and Kyp; Keyes intelligently develops a rather convoluted interaction between the two characters over the course of the entire book and does a great job of giving Kyp a distinctive voice. Anakin and Tahiri are quite dynamic, and they've both become a lot more interesting since the last book. I was also pleased to see Jacen and Corran written with sensitivity. All in all, the way Keyes handles the characters--making each distinctive, with his or her own internal psychology--is the greatest strength of Rebirth.
The book does have some weaknesses. Though it's fun to read, the writing isn't as polished as that of authors like Zahn or Troy Denning. That's only a minor complaint though; I don't expect all Star Wars authors to be up to Zahn's level, and compared to many of the other NJO books, this one is beautifully written. My more major complaint is that Keyes seems to have run out of energy at the end. Two of his otherwise logical and careful plots just sort of dissolve. He more or less completely drops the Jacen-Han-Leia storyline, never providing closure for it. And the Mara-Luke story truly fizzles, ending with a "We don't know how everything got fixed, but isn't it truly beautiful?" which was a little too sugary and insubstantive for me. If Keyes had put a little more work into the last fifty or sixty pages of his book, I would have considered giving the book one more star.

5.0 out of 5 stars All around great
First of all I love the fact that this book did not just focuse on on character. Although Anakin, Tahiri, and Jaina have basicly the center stage. Read more

Keyes' Conquest was a nearly perfect Star Wars novel. Focusing on one plot line, it drew us in and never let us go. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars It takes a strong stomach...
I wish I could give this book a higher rating, because Keyes does well with what he's given. The problem is the overarching story: the New Jedi Order. Read more
