Editorial Review:
Forty years after the Battle of Yavin a dangerous new era in the Star Wars epic begins–the revelations are shocking, the stakes desperate, and the enemy everywhere. As civil war threatens the unity of the Galactic Alliance, Han and Leia Solo have enraged their families and the Jedi by joining the Corellian insurgents. But the Solos draw the line when they discover the rebels’ plot to make the Hapan Consortium an ally–which rests upon Hapan nobles murdering their pro-Alliance queen and her daughter.Yet the Solos’ selfless determination to save the queen cannot dispel the inescapable consequences of their actions, that will pit mother against son and brother against sister in the battles ahead. For as Jacen Solo’s dark powers grow stronger under the Dark Jedi Lumiya, and his influence over Ben Skywalker becomes more insidious, Luke’s concern for his nephew forces him into a life-and-death struggle against his fiercest foe, and Han and Leia Solo find themselves at the mercy of their deadliest enemy . . . their son.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Good Book
I liked the book but it seemed to drag a little leading up to the big battle at the end but then the battle ended real quickly. I understand this story isn't really about the military battles. But, this was the most important battle of the series so far and it just ended really abruptly. I think Jacen should be kicked out of the JO by now. They are having way to much patience with him.
Rating:  - A solid read, but not much more
Denning kicks the GA/Corellian war ahead in TEMPEST, bringing Hapes into the mix on the side of the Alliance. Unfortunately, here the confusion begins; the Hapans have their own fleets, while the very thing that the Corellians rebelled over was *because* they wanted their own fleets! Denning fails to make clear exactly how this works; the reader is expected to hand-wave this in favor of the further character exploration of Jacen with his daughter and his lover. And while the sickly logical Jacen ... Read More
Rating: - Decent, not outstanding
I know I'm probably different from most Star Wars fans in that I read this book about 6 months after I read Bloodlines, so it's hard for me to compare Denning's writing to that of Karen Traviss. Not that it's required for the review, but I'm hoping I can get the next one a little sooner so I can get a better comparison of the writing, if only because I felt like Troy Denning's writing was only really well suited to the scenes involving the Solos. Of course, the Solos are also the most interesting ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting read
I have to give this book four stars because it makes to many references to the dark nest storyline. WHY? is this a problem, simple. I did not read it and found myself guessing or side track by names, events and characters that I do not have a clue.
I love the book otherwise, the story moves fast and not as complicated as it was in bloodlines, where we spend a lot of time reading Bobba Fett.. and still is not clear his true role in the story.
I was glad to read Tenel Ka, ... Read More
Rating: - could not stop reading
Positive:
Almost the whole book is very intersting to read. I've never reallt been this author's fan, but in this book he's really got a story to tell.
Luke and Mara a finally getting to act a little, and not just wait and watch, like in the previous books of this set. Same goes for the Solos.
Negative:
A little hard to believe situations. Denning has a good knowledge of what one can do with the force, but in this book he's forgetting. There are situations that could ... Read More
