I posted this in another thread when I was drunk, but I'm really enjoying this novel. It's always when Star Wars books go beyond MUH JEDI MUH FORCE and delves into the lives of civilians, politicians, military leaders, etc. It goes beyond simply "good and evil." Also, Zahn is probably the best Star Wars writer in history.

I'm not a science fiction fan, but I have a soft spot for Star Wars novels since I'm a huge fan of the franchise. I'm almost done with this and I definently plan on rereading it in the future. Star Wars books are entertaining but they're usually simple fun to add more to the lore. I feel like I can take something away from this one.

Not sure if I'd recommend it to a non-Star Wars fan since prior knowledge of the lore and past/future events in the canon certainly add to the enjoyment of this novel, as they do with any Star Wars book. I always appreciate when these books go beyond the simple bad guys vs good guys dichotomy to which the movies adhere.
