LEGACY OF THE FORCE: INFERNO



The latest installment of the Legacy of the Force storyline from Del Rey is Inferno by Troy Denning. Support and reactions on the Legacy of the Force series up to this point has been moderate at best. But this book, in my humble opinion, is worthy of the Star Wars title! This book feels like Star Wars! I was riveted by this installment of LOTF and finished the book faster than any of the other books in the series so far. It's got it all. Great space battles and a terrific one on one confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo.

My greatest disappointment about the Legacy of the Force series has been the Jedi's blindness about what is happening with the Galactic Alliance and more importantly Jacen's rise to Sith Lord. Finally the Jedi are beginning to wake up!! All it took was Jacen holding the Jedi training academy on Ossus hostage. (sheesh)

I can see this series jumping to lightspeed from this point on! The Jedi should have realized what was going on a lot earlier. If you are interested in getting in LOTF or just wanting to know what is happening I suggest reading reviews or summaries on the first several books of LOTF, but definitely reading this one!! It's worth it!!
