Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Force Heretic II: Refugee

Great for your Star Wars fan who likes to read

Excellent

Thanks mass paperback product for it. Was expecting no more from it. Stuff highly recommended to anyone who looks for cheap brand new star wars books.

I think I would have appreciated this more had I read The Truce at Bakura. Although I've heard that it's a good book, it's not one that I chose to read from the Bantam era in preparation for the NJO. Refugee follows up on that story - and apparently that story was about alien dinosaurs who enslave each other like the Matrix. The whole Force Heretic series was pretty dissatisfying for me, honestly; it drags on at a point in the series when a conclusion should be in view. This seemed to me like the least convenient time to revisit a plot from a very outdated and almost-forgotten Star Wars book. But once again, Nom Anor's plot throughout this series was really interesting, and justifies reading this book. While I enjoyed appearances from the Antilles family, I didn't find reading about the heroes searching a library a very entertaining plot for a Star Wars novel... but you can decide for yourself. Despite its faults, it's hard to say reading a SW book isn't fun - maybe lots of fun if you liked the Truce at Bakura.

This is a great book so far and the cover art is very nice also. Well written and exciting to read.

I dont know if this was actaully decent, or if it just seemed good after it's abyssmal predecessor.Either way I came away from this thankful to have not had to wade through another set of victories over the Vong, just to see them start the next book worse off. In fact the Vong were mercifully sparse in this installment, and that may be why I found it a little better than Remnant.We had 3 main storylines, not too many to care about, granted with some good sized splintering within those 3, but still not so much so that you feel like each one only moved a tiny bit forward. In fact with the 2 larger ones mirroring each other well enough, it almost makes you wonder if the authors just had one good idea, and decided to use it on both parties. Han, Leia, Jaina, etc... AND Luke, Mara, Jacen, etc...Both groups went to faroff lands and were victims of double-cross, but overcame them to win through at the end. It is corny, but that is part of what is interesting in Star Wars. Things go to hell, and the good guys either stumble their way through, or just get out by the skin of their teeth - Chewy and Anakin notwithstanding. For everything else you can say about the series, there is no David Eddings style - good guys have all the power and just clobber clueless bad guys all book long. RIP D.E.

great read

Great

Todo perfecto!

Purtroppo il secondo capitolo della trilogia mantiene i difetti del predecessore, risultando per nulla emozionante e dal ritmo decisamente troppo lento. Gli elementi necessari alla storia sarebbero stati condensabili in poche decine di pagine da inserire nel precedente volume.

great item !!

Der zweite Teil der Force-Heretic Trilogie von Sean Williams und Shane Dix führt wie schon der Vorgänger Remnant nicht nur viele lose Enden aus früheren Büchern zusammen, sondern legt auch den Grundstein für das sich anbahnende letzte Gefecht zwischen der Galaktischen Allianz der freien Planeten (früher einmal auch Neue Republik genannt)und den bösen Aggressoren der Yuuzhan Vong.Nachdem im ersten Teil geschildert wurde, was aus dem Volk der Yevetha aus der Black Fleet Crisis Trilogie wurde, rücken in diesem Buch Bakura und die Überbleibsel des Ssi-rruk Imperiums in den Mittelpunkt des Geschehens, aber natürlich geht auch der Handlungstrang von der Suche nach dem mysteriösen Planeten Zonama Sekot (aus Rogue Planet) in den Unknown Regions weiter, wo neben den Chiss viele weitere Gefahren auf Luke & Co lauern und Freunde oder Feinde nicht leicht zu trennen sind.Williams und Dix nützen wieder die Gelegenheit unstimmige und/oder eher erfolglose Konzepte vergangener Bücher (hier Pakt von Bakura von Kathy Tyers) zu beseitigen oder so zu verändern, daß sie sich besser in das Gesamtbild des Star Wars Universums eingliedern.Wie immer ist dieses Buch für Leser der New Jedi Order Serie unverzichtbar. Alle anderen sollten erst bei Teil 1 (Vector Prime) anfangen oder sich natürlich überhaupt erst die älteren SW Romane zu Gemüte führen.

El plazo de entrega y el estado del material son los esperadosEl libro está en el inglés original a propósito, con lo que he podido practicar vocabulario adicional y formas nuevas de expresar y redactar el texto.En cuanto a la historia, soy un adicto a la saga y soy un lector parcial: ¡Excelente!
