This is some of the flimsiest sci-fi I have ever experienced. The setting wasn’t that relevant, more like dressing and ambiance, like when people write an AU fanfic but the AU part is just a backdrop. The characters are two-dimensional, as is the plot. I didn’t care about any of the people, and therefore didn’t care what happened to them. You can see just about everything in the plot coming a mile away. Also the climax was super lackluster.

Stick to Johnston’s Star Wars books instead.
