Vision Of The Future

No spoilers

This is the continuation of the story from Specter.  More good stuff from Zahn.  He really handles Star Wars masterfully.  He's definitely my canon now.  His stuff is just too great to be ignored. 

The Luke\Mara story line was well done.  Reminded me of a sort of  deep\adult take on Splinter Of The Mind's Eye.  Also in keeping with Zahn's universe, this may be some of the best Lando I've ever read or seen. 

Plus, you can't go wrong with a nice side story of Shada and Karoly.  Always well done and, in fact, the two characters who pushed me into going to the Zahn universe earlier this year when I read Hammertong.  It was nice to reconnect with them again.

Two heavy endings, one I knew was probably coming in this novel, one I did not see coming at all.  Hats off to Zahn for taking bold steps with the Star Wars universe. My canon is in good hands.

*Let that one go, Frink.  ;-)

Anyway.  That's it.  Zahn's remaining novels don't appear to be connected, so I'm going with Allegiance next.  I'll probably wait until the week after Christmas, when I have a long flight planned.  Until then, I'm taking a Star Wars break and slowing down a notch with M*A*S*H.
