Aftermath
by Chuck Wendig
I reserved this from the library hoping to get some canonical Star Wars goodness that would set me up to be more informed then the rest of the crowd at opening night for The Force Awakens next month.
What I got instead was a pretty generic ho-hum sci-fi story loosely draped in the Star Wars trappings with some minor characters like Wedge Antilles thrown in for taste. Oh, and a generic Han Solo cameo.
It was probably my fault for not looking at the description more closely. But seriously, when you wipe out all the Extended Universe canon in a grand sweeping gesture, it seems to me anyway that the first piece of fiction you contract to step into the breach should be great.
And it was clear pretty early on that this just doesn't rise to that level.
