Invincible by Troy Denning
5.0

Over all, these books do a better job of expanding the Star Wars mythology than Lucas's own prequels. The heroes of the Rebellion have grown into leaders who try to fashion a New Republic from the ashes of the Galactic Empire. Each author really captures the voice of the characters, as well as the feel of the universe as a whole.

This is the last book of the current storyline, in which Luke, Han, and Leia must once again face a civil war tearing the galaxy apart and the totalitarian iron grip of a Sith Lord. The current timeline has shifted forward about 25-30 years from Return of the Jedi, so it's a bad jumping-on point. But, if you've read any of the post-Jedi novels that came before, especially Heir to the Empire and New Jedi Order, then you shouldn't have much trouble catching up to what's going on in the Legacy of the Force series.
