Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand. With so much lost–and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake–there can be no turning back. No matter the consequences. The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine’s. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus. It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo. Failure is not an option. The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome–and the fate of those left standing. Average Rating:
 Rating: - What a shame....What a shame that such a good author would turn out such a half-finished, unsatisfying story like this. Characters so out of place that they're unrecognizable, an unlikely plot that is just not necessary, and an ending that I absolutely hated, and I'm not alone in that opinion. Plus, what is with the size of this? It felt half-sized, and definitely not worth the hardcover price. My advice? Buy only if you bought any of the other eight car crashes that were the previous books and need ... Read More Rating:  - Not the best....The Legacy series wasn't my favorite, although it had it's moments. The Boba Fett parts were well done, but Karen Traviss has always been good with the Mando stuff. This final book had it's ups and downs but it felt rushed to me. Something didn't quite fit. But the things that were done to the characters in the series are on the edge of unforgivable. First to kill off so many of the EU's best characters, and you never really get to know some of the better new ones, was sad. I haven't liked it much ... Read More Rating:  - Legacy Finale I need to start with a confession-a bad Star Wars book is better than none! I liked all 9 books but feel the whole story could have been said in 5 volumes. Jacen's slow transition into sithdom and all his "feelings" dragged on a little too long. I did not like how main characters had to be killed off. This is science fiction and I don't read these books and say they aren't realistic just because someone didn't get killed off! I for one do not want to see any of the original characters-Han, Leia, ... Read More Rating: - A Disappointing ConclusionI think that in the context of a sci-fi space opera, the "Legacy of the Force" storyline has been pretty brilliant (its not trying to cure cancer). But this last book was quite disappointing. After reading the pretty amazing "Revelation" by Karen Traviss, you kind of have to wonder what happened. Traviss spent that whole novel meticulously building great characterizations of Jacen, Ben, Luke, Niathal, Daala, Palleaon, and most impressively, Boba Fett, who has spent most of his history being a rather ... Read More Rating: - This is what it built to? sighI loved this book... in part. The ending between Jaina and Jacen was absolutely amazing. Very touching, made me cry. LOL However, wtf happened in the rest of this book? What happened to the story? Is this really the ending? After building up what promised to be the most dangerous and powerful Sith Lord of all time, it just ends? All the amazing new and lost powers Jacen unearthed gone again? So many intriguing points from the past 8 books just left hanging, as well as a decent amount of new ones ... Read More |
