Shield of Lies by Michael P. Kube-McDowell

2.0

Shield of Lies isn't quite as bad as some of the preceding Star Wars books, but it's still many miles away from being good. The author's decision to slice the novel into several parts - each with its own main character - was a poor one. It reads more like a series of disjointed novellas than a full-length book, and none of the individual parts are particularly enjoyable. Luke continues to be improbably dull; Leia is still out-of-character; Lando, at least, is written with some consistency. I'd probably give up on this period in the Legends timeline if the Yuuzhan-Vong weren't on the horizon.
