Product Description:
Not since Emperor Palpatine have the Jedi battled such monstrous evil. Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed.

Luke Skywalker’s daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong’s nefarious plot to overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts. And time is slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet whose rulers are about to yield to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the Jedi rebels.

On Coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting complete control. But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are thrust into a fierce battle for their lives. Suddenly, the chances of escaping appear nearly impossible. And in space, another battle rages, one that holds ominous consequences for the New Republic—and for the Jedi themselves. . . .

- Coruscant: post-apocalyptic wasteland
Rebel Stand, the second volume in Aaron Allston's Enemy Lines "duology" finds the author in a very familiar setting, namely alternating storylines featuring both starfighter battles and covert action teams. Both of which should come as no surprise to fans of Allston's previous work on the X-Wing: Wraith Squadron series.

In Rebel Stand we finally get a chance to see what has become of Coruscant since the Yuuzhan Vong's takeover of the planet. The former capitol of the New Republic is now a toxic, post-apocalyptic wasteland populated by traumatized survivors and cannibalistic tribes, both of whom are constantly hunted by Yuuzhan Vong Raiding parties. Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker lead a team of Jedi and Wraith Squadron operatives to the planet in order to start a resistance movement, only to find that a monstrous 9-foot tall dark Jedi is wreaking havoc on the populace. Meanwhile, Wedge Antilles prepares ... Read More

- Bringing the adventure back to the New Jedi Order
Rebel Stand completes the two-part "Enemy Lines" duology by Aaron Allston, bringing his own distinctive touch to the New Jedi Order series. And what a story it is. Allston provides all the action and humour that he's known for from the X-Wing series of novels, yet doesn't drag the series too much away from the darkness for which it has been known. Walking that line very closely, Rebel Stand is everything a Star Wars fan could want, especially those turned off by the depressing tone of the previous books.

Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara, lead a clandestine force back on Vong-occupied Coruscant. The force's main purpose is to set up some resistance cells among the populace, though the changes that the Vong are making on the planet indicate that mere survival may be all the remaining populace can hope for. Meanwhile, Luke and his fellow Jedi are there to investigate a massive presence that's full of Dark ... Read More

- On many different fronts, is there any hope?
The capital of the New Republic has fallen, the Vong are preparing a massive assault on Borleis and a mysterious force, a Force sensitive power, has been found on Vong-occupied Corescant. This is the 12th installment of a series that has taken us from the rim to the core, with New Republic defeats all along the way.

Here are the highlights: Luke is leading a team into the stronghold of the enemy; Wedge is trying to hold on to an impossible situation as assigned to him by a fleeing government; Han and Leia are trying to restore a rebellion-like series of cells and contacts.

While the writing is not as effective as some previous volumes in that the transitions seem choppy and disjointed at times, there is plenty of background information for those who have read the series all the way through to be able to follow what is going on.

Even with small victories, it seems that there is no ... Read More
