I finished the first of the series and quickly got the next one. I have a few books to read other than these ones, but I disregarded them for this book. And now I am going to disregard them again for part three, The Last Command!

As good as the first. Still a little cheesy in places and has weird tangents with Han doing Han stuff. Don't like some of the space opera senarios that don't make a lot of sense if you think about it for more than five minutes, but overall it's a good adventure. ( )

Directly ahead, the star was a marble-sized yellow-orange ball, its intensity moderated by its distance and by the viewports' automatic sunscreens.
