Really enjoyed the plot of the book, as well as the chance to see Allana with Han & Leia. ( ) I really wanted to like this book, but somewhere around page 100 or so it just started to drag. The idea behind it, the history of the Millennium Falcon, is a good one. But the execution left much to be desired, and the ending, to be honest, was a let down. The story is told in various vignettes, and it goes back and forth between the novel's present (in the SW Legacy era) all the way back to the Clone Wars and then back and forth. Some of the old stories are nice, but they are not particularly riveting. For the hardcore fans, this book is probably a must, but for the more casual fan, I would consider it optional. There is a lot of foreshadowing of things to come, so my guess is some of those things you may see in future Star Wars novels. Compared to Luceno's other novel, Dark Lord (the one about Darth Vader, which I read and reviewed here), this one was really disappointing for me. It was just ok. 2 years after Invincible. The Solo's go on an adventure to find out the history of the Millennium Falcon. In the process, they meet up with a Clone War era pilot who is trying to fulfill his last mission, which involved the Falcon. Overall, the history parts were cool. The Solo's were working it backwards from when Han won her and the pilot was working forwards from when he crashed and burned her. The present" plot about some treasure to restore honor to the Republic [the last mission of the pilot] was kind of fuzzy and was almost a carbon copy of the Han Solo at Star's End in its ending. It was even mentioned, so it was deliberate. This was just a fill in story to tie the Legacy of the Force series into the new Fate of the Jedi series." Get this book and others of the series from the library. its almost OK as a standalone novel. It helps if you have read the other stories in the series. If you are a Star Wars Geek you will be less disappointed with the story. If you just want to know how the Millennium Falcon got its name save your time and read page 252. The book reads more like thes earch for the Maltse Falcon than a Star Wars novel. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Two years have passed since Jacen Solo, seduced by the dark side and reanointed as the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus, died at the hands of his twin sister, Jaina, Sword of the Jedi. For a grieving Han and Leia, the shadow of their son??s tragic downfall still looms large. But Jacen??s own bright and loving daughter, Allana, offers a ray of hope for the future as she thrives in her grandparents?? care. And when the eager, inquisitive girl, in whom the Force grows ever stronger, makes a curious discovery aboard her grandfather??s beloved spacecraft??the much-overhauled but ever-dependable Millennium Falcon??the Solo family finds itself at a new turning point, about to set out on an odyssey into uncertain territory, untold adventure, and unexpected rewards. To Han, who knows every bolt, weld, and sensor of the Falcon as if they were parts of himself, the strange device Allana shows him is utterly alien. But its confounding presence??and Allana??s infectious desire to unravel its mystery??are impossible to dismiss. The only answer lies in backtracking into the past on a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the vessel that??s done everything from making the Kessel Run ??in less than twelve parsecs? to helping topple an evil empire. From the moment the Falcon broke loose from a Corellian assembly line like an untamed creature with a will of its own, it seemed destined to seek out trouble. It wasn??t long before the feisty YT-1300 freighter went from shuttling cargo to smuggling contraband. But it??s a fateful rendezvous on Coruscant, at the explosive height of the Republic/Separatist uprising, that launches a galaxywide cat-and-mouse game whose newest players are Han, Leia, Allana, and C-3PO. And they?? re not alone: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike loom at every turn of the quest??each with his or her own desperate stake in the Millennium Falcon??s most momentous mission. Through the years and across the stars, from the Rim worlds to unknown points beyond, the race will lead them all to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find??and pay any cost to possess. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
