After the Yuuzhan Vong War—the most devastating conflict in the long history of the Galaxy—there is peace. But it is a strenuous peace, plagued by the fact thousands of species were dislocated after the war. The Jedi Order strains under the weight of their newly embraced relativistic approach to the Force. Their now believes are put to the test when a crisis occurs between the Chiss Ascendancy and a collection of Killik hives encroaching on their boarders.

The story felt partially like an epilogue dealing with the aftermath of the Yuuzhan Vong War, and the first novel in a new trilogy that introduces a fresh plot. What makes it great, is how the scars of the war takes center stage in the story.… (mere)

Short novel, plot is action based and covers invasion to defeat, but not what follows. Good for a quick read, but not as engaging as I'd hoped from the first chapter.

Would recommend to those familiar to the game this novel is based off, or those who prefer action plots.
