The Krytos Trap

Pretty bad. An interminable court case takes up a huge chunk of the novel. Strangely, the legal system of the New Republic in a galaxy far, far away is similar to that presented in US legal TV shows, except with Dwight Eisenhower as the presiding judge (?).

Corran is stuck in an imperial prison, Tycho is under trial of being a traitor, and the New Republic battles a deadly plague. A lot of exciting plot threads but never quite catches the fun factor of the first book.

Synopsis: Having just lost my review due to one stupid unfortunate swipe of the mousepad, yet again, this will be the last review I compose here online. I will be using a word processing program and reduce my stress and general level of profanity, which our neighbors will greatly appreciate. show more Ok, Corran is captured, not dead and in his escape finds out his Gramps was a jedi and he is too. Rogue Squadron plays politics because that scumbag Bothan Borsk Fey'la has decided he will be a player in galactic politics. My Thoughts: Reading this again was probably a mistake. Not because it was bad, but because it was just plain mediocre. And considering that these are probably near the top of the stack in quality, that is sad. Not that I'm bitter about Disney's total raping of the Extended Universe or anything. That doesn't color my thinking at all, oh no. /sarcasm Sadly, I feel like Star Wars has been ruined all over for me now. Anyhow, this was an enjoyable read and there was a lot I had forgotten. I plan to finish out this series but re-reading this series that I had enjoyed so much in the past has made me seriously consider selling all my Star Wars books. Bleh... " show less

The Rogue Squadron story continues. We learn much more about Coran and it set things up for his grown quite a bit. The trial sections were for the most part pretty interesting which for me is something because I usually find that stuff boring. Will be starting the conclusion of this series within a series very soon.

The 3rd book in the X-wing series. Coruscant has been captured. Yeah! Now here is a deadly disease for you to deal with. This book has a lot of politics of a new republic trying to get up on it's feet. It also covers Rogue Squadron's efforts to stop the Kryto's virus.

As with the rest of the books in this series, I enjoyed the book. I will admit, I would prefer more star battles than politics and infighting, but that's just me.

The Krytos virus, which only infects non-humans, is causing panic in the New Republic. Meanwhile, Tycho Celchu (a favorite character of mine due to his iron self-control) is on trial and only the imprisoned Corran Horn knows that he is innocent.

Eh. Meh. It left me feeling good enough. I'm not going to continue down the X-Wing book series any more.
