I could not get into choices of one it sucked.

There is stuff in there that seems out of continuity with the other Zahn novels like Mara meeting Luke in this book, when she only casually sees him once in jabba's palace and misses a chance to kill him according to the Zahn trilogy, and only meets him after palpatine is long dead and working for karrde.

I also don't buy her being duped into thinking palpatine and the empire is good in the way it is done in the book, just like the troopers in this book and allegiance.

The moral relativist crap is beyond retarded and has no place in star wars pre prequels, the prequels made star wars crappy shades of grey where their were no good guys even the jedi were as bad as the sith.
