    About this audiobook

    Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala's draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi's new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.

    Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers' quest threatens to become a suicide mission.

      Maybe I'm not a particularly demanding reader, but I do enjoy just watching my favorite characters take on yet another crisis in the universe. I particularly want to see what happens to Tahiri and I really like the relationship between Luke and Ben.

      Building up momentem for the last two books of the series. It kept my interest but wavered a little. It felt that everything in this book was similar to the last. To the effect that it was only here to help develop the characters more. I've always been a fan of the core Star Wars characters but it may seem that its time to stick them with single stories rather than multi volume epics.

      Aaron Allston is not one of my favorite Star Wars Authors. In fact if it wasn't for the other books written by Troy Dennling, I probably would have given up on this series by now. Allston really drags this story on, he makes it difficult to stay focused on the plot, to the point that at one time I had returned to the beginning of a CD and didn't' realize it till almost half way through it. This story continues to follow the several story lines around the galaxy. The one high point along in this book is "Amelia Solo" learning to use her force abilities whether they want to or not. We also meet Alana's mother for the first time in the Fate of the Jedi series (my understanding is she is well known in earlier Star Wars series that I have not met). There is also so humerous scenes involving a Droid "preacher" discussing the needs of Droid liberation and Amelia's interaction there with. As far as the main plat against abolov the idea of the sentioned computer chips is a bore. I cannot recommend this book on its own, and Until I read the rest of the series I'm not even sure I can recommend getting through this to get to the rest or not.

      If you enjoy the Star Wars extended universe, you'll enjoy this book. Allston's style maintains the feel of the films better than just about any other Star Wars author. The dialogue feels very genuine and is quite fun. He weaves between the tales of Allana and the Solos, Tahiri, Daala, and Ben, Vestara and Luke with ease. It's a wild ride on Coruscant throughout the book for all the characters involved. Indeed, it's always nice to see Han and Leia up to their usual antics with the droids, and of course now Allana as well. The addition of a new bodyguard for her was well timed and it seems like he's the kind of character that can keep up with her--for the most part. Since it is just one of a series, you know the ending isn't terribly satisfying but leaves you wanting more. Allston leaves the characters in a good place and sets them up well for the next book that comes out in August 2011.

      Not as boring as the previous books in the series. Starts out blah, but picks up about half-way through and becomes an okay book. This particular Star Wars series is just not that great. Too many characters to try to fit into each book. Seems like they should make stories that focus on a smaller group of characters.

      Took me awhile to finish this one. It was actually interesting towards the end of the book, but it just took awhile to get there. The outcome of the Luke/Ben/Vestara mission was very unsatisfactory considering how much of the book was spent setting up this major plot point. The book even points this out.

      This book did contain some important character resolutions and appearances for this series and for the EU in general. Daala and Tahiri both find themselves in very different positions compared to where they were at the beginning of this series. We get an appearance from Boba Fett, or do we? Oh yeah we do, but Boba is playing politics now and has to wear fake costumes and such. After the Legacy series he really did not need to come back. Callista makes an important appearance in this novel as well.

      Of the three authors of this series, Aaron Allston always does the best. Allston does well writing characters like C-3PO and Allana in this book, something other authors seem to have trouble doing. He avoids writing Allana into another kidnapping scenario and shows her following her destiny that was foreshadowed in the last series. While she played an important role that showed her potential as a powerful force user it would have been good to see her stand on her own a little more, and not have to have others lend a helping hand.

      I must have missed what happened to Vestara after the final confrontation, but I suppose you find out in the next book. I would rather find out what happened to her at the end of this book than Tahiri.

      This is the fifth book by this author I have read. It tells of the effort by a skilled lawyer to try to prevent the execution of a defendant convicted of murder (along with his brother) of a nine-year old girl who died during a sex crime. Both brothers were represented by the same lawyer who did an unbelievably bad job defending . The account takes up the effort by a new lawyer after 15 years to save the mentally deficient brother. It is a tense and emotionally draining story, illustrating the impetus involved in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act--which is a real law passed by Congress and designed to make it harder to overturn a death sentence, and which leads the prosecution to argue that innocence makes no difference..
    • 4/5
      I'm so happy to discover another legal writer who has so much work for me to read! I listened to the audio version and the story is gripping as you follow the enormous efforts to provide a defense for a convicted man to prevent his death. It was exhausting to comprehend the layers and layers of complexity to get through a very tangled puzzle of law, holding out hope, again and again.

      I've enjoyed Patterson's other "issues" books about presidential & judicial politics in relation to abortion. This one about the death penalty is more like a traditional legal potboiler & is not as good.
