The best parts and what kept me reading until the end was Darth Vader and Luke. Otherwise the plot wasn’t that great and the writing itself was just ok.

As most Star Wars books go, it's a fun and entertaining read but it ultimately doesn't do anything special.
Wow—I feel so in love with the Star Wars EU right now, and couldn’t be more excited about reading more of the SWEU novels and comics. Again, the winning aspect of this novel was the dialogue, especially Vader’s. Great story, great allusions to the films, and, perhaps most surprising, great dichotomy of Anakin/Vader in his quiet times outside of the suit. It’s crazy to think that the SotE project was concieved and implemented well before the prequel films, and yet the continuity of Anakin’s feelings expressed in Luceno’s Dark Lord really mimics the things that he goes through in SotE. One of the better EU books—probably top 5.
An addition to the SW timeline just before Return of the Jedi. The main characters were well written and sassy, as I love them. The side characters were less compelling for me than others of the EU (cough Mara Jade 4eva), but it was still and enjoyable read.
This is an interesting tale of how a programmed machine that can't help but obey, seeks redemption for its actions. It seeks to overcome its obstacles with the single-minded determination of a terminator which is the irony in that it wishes to cease being that way. The story is inter-spaced with a near-farcical attempt by the surviving members of Black Sun to reacquire the dangerous droid to use for their own ends. That the heroes of the Rebellion and the New Republic are also thrown into the mix does perhaps feel a little over the top - particularly as they don't really add anything further to the plot.
This is perhaps tonally all over the place with the seriousness of what Guri is trying to do and the
conniving within Black Sun to Han and Leia's interesting relationship particularly in regards to Han interacting with any female that's not Leia. Lando's there too, for some reason.
It's an enjoyable read, though, with a satisfying conclusion. The artwork has that classic look about it making Guri particulaly manikin-like in appearance, which disturbingly drives home her inhumanity despite her rather curvaceous figure.

There was an extract given away in GamesMaster magazine to promote the release of the game and the book.
It worked as I went out and bought the book and started my journey into the extended universe of Star Wars!
