Work InformationAftermath: Life Debt af Chuck Wendig
   Fantasy/Science Fiction (121) Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) bookonion | Mar 10, 2024 |  There's some interesting setup and reveals about the state of the galaxy and what happens to cause the rebellion to form into the resistance and the Empire to rise up once again in it's new forms. For instance, Palpatine’s Contingency is explored in-depth confirming Palpatine had a secret base on Jakku, the Jakku Observatory located on the Plaintive Hand. There, Palpatine mapped out jumps from Jakku to Unknown Regions, providing the information to his forces so they could make the jump and ostensibly await his return (assuming Palpatine planned for dying and ultimately coming back to resume his work). This is set up in Life Debt. So the key to some of the things that happen in the sequels come from these novels. Wendig's prose isn't the best and the interludes still feel (mostly) pointless. But, overall, I surprising enjoyed this novel. It's no Timothy Zahn but it's still enjoyable. (  ) ryantlaferney87 | Dec 8, 2023 | I am very happy to report that this book was so much better. I'm still not a big fan of the style of writing (why is it written in present tense?!) but this time the character and story development actually existed so I was able to get swept along by it and ignore that minor irritation. The sentence structure was also much better, and overall it didn't feel like a badly written fanfic. It felt like an established author had written it. ( ) justgeekingby | Jun 6, 2023 | This is not it. (  ) Kavinay | Jan 2, 2023 | Life Debt brings a new layer of sophistication to the themes of war, loyalty and what turns the gears of a political system. Read after Bloodlines, it's very interesting to see how the seeds of the fall of the New Republic are already there from the start. The bureaucracy and compromises, although understandably a fundamental part of democracy, tying the hands of people who want to do good for the galaxy. The book also turns up a notch on violence and cruelty, always a good reminder on how integral exploitation is in an Empire. The New Republic might need to deal with things better, but the author never uses that to falls back into a "maybe the Empire had SOME good" argument. I can appreciate the maturity of the narrative in not pretending the plot twist was a huge reveal, and relying much more on the consequences of it. It was a very natural progression for the story, and the author seemed to realize a good portion of the audience would see it coming and dealt with the situation accordingly. My only draw-back still is the constant pov shifting, a bit heavy handed for my personal taste, but still considerably better executed than in the previous book.

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? Set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the never-before-told story that began with Star Wars: Aftermath continues in this thrilling novel, the second book of Chuck Wendig??s bestselling trilogy. It is a dark time for the Empire. . . . The Emperor is dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in retreat. As the New Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to the galaxy, some dare to imagine new beginnings and new destinies. For Han Solo, that means settling his last outstanding debt, by helping Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee??s homeworld of Kashyyyk. Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire??s remaining leadership across the galaxy. Even as more and more officers are brought to justice, Sloane continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra fears Sloane may be searching for a means to save the crumbling Empire from oblivion.
