Since his capture by the Yuuzhan Vong, he's been absent from the series for a while, and now Stover shows us his "journey through the underworld" in the hands of his enemies, with some seriously good work. Vivid description, excellent characterization, and (given that it's clear that central characters are on the menu for authors in this series) a sense that damn near anything could happen. (  ) slothman | Nov 22, 2008 |  I stand by my declaration that the authors who followed Stover in the NJO series seriously misunderstood the direction Stover was taking Jacen's character. The rest of the books fall flat in comparison to this. (  )1  lilygirl | Sep 11, 2008 | Yes, I have two of them and yes, one is for highlighting. This copy is the one that I use to highlight the most interesting philosophical statements that I want to be able to find easily in the future. And it's not as if there's only a few great quotes - the entire book is a filled with statements that makes one re-evaluate life. ( )2 |  lilygirl | Sep 11, 2008 | This book changed my life. It was my first introduction to existentialism, it was the first time I enjoyed philosophical musings. Reading this book is what made me start thinking introspectively and about abstract concepts. If I could give a pint of blood in exchange for rating this 6 stars, I would. ( )1 Nietzschesprboy | Feb 3, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 034542865X, Mass Market Paperback)From the depths of catastrophe, a glimmer of hopeAfter the capture of Coruscant, the mighty heart of the New Republic, a stunned galaxy fears that nothing can stop the Yuuzhan Vong. Still, that crushing defeat produces one small miracle: Jacen Solo is alive. Yet he can scarcely imagine himself in stranger circumstances. The young Jedi Knight is in the care of Vergere, a fascinating creature of mystery and power, her intentions hard to fathom, her cruelties rarely concealed. But this master of inscrutable arts has much to teach the young Jedi . . . for she holds the key to a new way to experience the Force, to take it to another level—dangerous, dazzling, perhaps deadly. In the wrong hands, the tremendous energies of the Force can be devastating. And there are others watching Jacen’s process closely, waiting patiently for the moment when he will be ready for their own dire purposes. Now, all is in shadows. Yet whatever happens, whether Jacen’s newfound mastery unleashes light or darkness, he will never be the same Jedi again. . . .
