Binding: Mass Market PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 813.54 EAN: 9780345463036 ISBN: 034546303X Label: Del Rey Manufacturer: Del Rey Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 368 Publication Date: September 27, 2005 Publisher: Del Rey Release Date: September 27, 2005 Studio: Del Rey Editorial Review: Product Description: The epic Star Wars odyssey enters a new frontier as the heroes of the New Jedi Order confront a monstrous evil–insidious, unseen, and insatiable. . . . Despite being given new worlds to populate, the insectoid Killiks have not found peace. An unknown enemy has been attacking the new nests–and the Killiks hold the Jedi responsible. Traveling back to the Unknown Regions to unravel the mystery, the Skywalkers and Solos discover an evil far more familiar than they ever expected . . . and even more terrifying. Why does the Dark Nest want to kill Mara? Will Jacen’s apocalyptic vision trigger another galactic war or prevent one? And perhaps most ominous of all, what deadly secret are the Killiks hiding? To find out, Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia must embark on a perilous journey into the uncharted void between right and wrong. The ferocious Unknown Terrors are only the beginning of the awesome challenges that lie ahead in their quest to fathom the unfathomable. For an obscure dispute is about to explode into chaos, pitting Jedi against Jedi–and threatening the very galaxy itself. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Dark Nest IIHaving taken a large break from the SW EU (Expanded Universe) novels due to the extensive NJO/Yuuzhan Vong War story arc, I have gotten around to continuing the adventures of the SW EU. Troy Denning has the reins in this trilogy dubbed the Dark Nest which attempts to bring forth the new antagonists in the palindromic bug alien race of the Killik, attempting to build on the general revulsion of bugs amongst most people. This book takes place one year after the events of The Joiner King (Star Wars: ...

Rating: - Star Wars: Dark Nest, Book 2It is a Star Wars novel. If you are just starting reading the novels, I would not start here, otherwise, read on. If you are srarting, I would go with Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn and go form there. You will here the score in the background, it is that good. Rating:  - Another terrific storylineI love this continuation of the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, and their offspring. I like they are starting to link these characters to Anakin, Padme, and Obi Wan in Episodes I-III. I look forward to reading about these characters as they reach old age. Rating: - Good sequelIf you liked The Joiner King, you'll like The Unseen Queen. Similar in quality to The Joiner King (see my review), it continues to have some of the same benefits (ie. good sense of mystery/intrigue) and some of the same problems (ie. less than satisfying treatment of the "foundation" characters). On plot points, the development of Leia as a Jedi is an "about-time" for many Star Wars fans. And the interaction between Jacen Solo and Queen Mother Tenel Ka is compelling. This ... Read More |
