Arguably the best of the series. Heavily features one of the most underrated bounty hunters in Star Wars, Durge.

I’ve re-read this series numerous times over the years but this had by far the least interesting side characters involved

Sensational book but the ending felt like a cheap cop out. Cuts off right before you get to the really good stuff. 

Dark Empire I by Tom Veitch, Cam Kennedy
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

Probably my least favorite entry in the entire Expanded Universe. The concept of Palpatine returning as a clone is interesting. But the story around it is terrible and the art style is painful to look at at times.

The only disappointment is that this storyline has never been picked up and ends on a cliffhanger. Has potential to be a great comic series
