Product Description:
The Rebels have taken the Imperial headquarters world of Coruscant, but their problems are far from over. A killer virus called Krytos is spreading among the population, and fomenting a counter-revolution, at the same time as the treason trial of Rebel hero Tycho Celchu. And X-wing pilot Corran Horn, given up for dead in 'Iceheart''s inescapable prison, discovers an extraordinary power in himself--the power of the Force!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Occupying Imperial Center was the easy part
Excluding the first trilogy written by Zahn these are the best Star Wars books ever if I may say so having just rediscovered this series in a local used book store. There is both action and adventure. In this installment imperial center has been captured but so has Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu stands accused of being a spy. Also the "well" has been poisoned and reader is left to question how the Alliance is going to be able to hold on to its hard won gains?

Even though you know that the main characters are never in any real danger the first read through makes you feel as though they could be. Michael A. Stackpole has created a universe of his own here with some familiar characters but also with new ones such as Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu he even manages to strengthen already established characters like Commander Wedge Antilles.

Overall-it is also refreshing for me to remember how ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Boring Until the End
If you like to watch "Peoples Court" you may like this book. There is plenty of legal mumbo jumbo as Tycho's trial drags on and on. There is no action until the end, and then the ending is too unbelievable, even for a Star Wars novel. There is too much concentration on the political environment in Stackpoles books, and not enough action. Prepare to endure long secessions of meaningless character interactions.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I was doubtful of Stackpole up until this book, now I'm amazed.
Rogue Squadron vol.1 was good
Wedges Gamble vol.2 was pretty bad
Krytos Trap vol.3 Very Impressive
I must say I was putting aside StackPole medicority in the last installments because of my interest in Rogue Squadron and X-wings, after
"Wedges Gamble" I was contemplating giving up on the series. Boy did StackPole redeem himself.
The Krytos Trap very cleverly spreads the story out into many other characters perspectives. Wedge, Kirtan Loor, Corran Horn, Nawara Ven-Tycho Celchu are each handling their own conflicts and sharing some others that all (with great precision) link to one another little by little. Every chapter you felt more and more compelled to read the next yet no two chapters where from the perspective of the same character.
Through all of this the mysteries that have been set up thus far in the series are boiled down and revealed in quite a fulfilling climax.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Krytos Trap
Standard entry by Stackpole in the Rogue Squadron Series. Even allowing for Corran Horn's latent talent in the force, his escape from Lusankya seemd easier than it should have.

Corran's discovery of his family's Jedi heritage seems like a set up for future adventures in the Corran Horn story line.

The rest of the story seems mostly a set up for the next book, The Bacta War, which I am acually looking forward to, based on the first 2 books of the story.
