- Well, the obvious comparison is to the Zahn trilogy,
and this trilogy is a poor match for that work. Anderson
writes a fairly entertaining story true to the Star Wars
genre, but there was one big problem: Anderson "name
dropped" not only from the movies themselves but from every
other series out there (including Tyers' book and Zahn's
trilogy and one other whose author I forget). Spoilers for
all those series are just thrown in without any real purpose
other than perhaps for Anderson to somehow legitimize his
work and cement its place as an integral part of the standard
Star Wars universe. That got annoying fast. Read all the
other Star Wars books out there, THEN this one. If you
like Star Wars enough to read all the other books, then this
series will entertain you.
