   Star Wars Legends (140) Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  Mandalor | Jun 21, 2022 |    ) BookstoogeLT | Dec 10, 2016 |  ) MilesVor | Apr 4, 2014 | ) tjsjohanna | May 14, 2008 | There's one major point where the actions of characters simply don't make sense. Jacen could—should—have died during this book. And yet he didn't; the only reason I can see for him being spared is because then Troy Denning would have nothing to write about. Ignoring that moment of nonsensicalness, Revelation does a good job of picking up where Fury left off, and setting up Invincible. While Traviss relies on her own characters (like Lon Shevu) and not Allston/Denning's, she manages to resolve most of the hanging plot threads. (She also does an excellent job with the Imperials from the Bantam era, especially Pellaeon.) Revelation turns everybody against Jacen (not just the Jedi and Confederation, but also the Galactic Alliance military, his fellow JCOS, and the Imperial Remnant), setting up what promises to be a rather painful fall in Invincible. So Revelation was an enjoyable read, and does what it should do in terms of the series… but. But it has that one not-so-tiny moment of fiat, one that worked at the time, but when coming back to write this review has bugged me after both readings. The book works, and is worth reading, as long as you're willing to overlook that loose thread. (  ) ATimson | Apr 7, 2008 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:During this savage civil war, all efforts to end Jacen Soloâ??s tyranny of the Galactic Alliance have failed. Now with Jacen approaching the height of his dark powers, no oneâ??not even the Solos and the Skywalkersâ??knows if anything can stop the Sith Lord before his plan to save the galaxy ends up destroying it. Jacen Soloâ??s shadow of influence has threatened many, especially those closest to him. Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous. Meanwhile, Ben Skywalker, still haunted by suspicions that Jacen killed his mother, Mara, decides he must know the truth, even if it costs him his life. And as Luke Skywalker contemplates once unthinkable strategies to dethrone his nephew, the hour of reckoning for those on both sides draws near. The galaxy becomes a battlefield where all must face their true nature and darkest secrets, and liveâ??or dieâ??with the consequences. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the l No library descriptions found. |
