An exciting new era of Star Wars history begins here -- as fantasy and science fiction's most acclaimed authors propel the legendary epic into the next millennium, introducing us to a rich cast of characters that features old favorites -- Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa Solo -- along with the next generation of Jedi and never-before seen creatures, droids, and deadly agents of darkness. In Vector Prime, the first novel in this thrilling new saga, New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore takes the Star Wars universe to previously unscaled heights of action and imagination, expanding the beloved story of a galaxy far, far away...
Twenty-one years have passed since the heroes of the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, breaking the power of the Emperor. Since then, the New Republic has valiantly struggled to maintain peace and prosperity among the peoples of the galaxy. But unrest has begun to spread; tensions erupt in outbreaks of rebellion that, if unchecked, threaten to destroy the Republic's tenuous reign.
Into this volatile atmosphere comes Nom Anor, a charismatic firebrand who heats passions to the boiling point, sowing seeds of dissent for his own dark motives. In an effort to avert a catastrophic civil war, Leia travels with her daughter Jaina, her sister-in-law Mara Jade, and the loyal protocol droid C-3PO, to conduct face-to-face diplomatic negotiations with Nom Anor. But he proves resistant to Leia's entreaties -- and, far more inexplicably, within the Force, where a being should be, was... blank space.
Meanwhile, Luke is plagued by reports of rogue Jedi Knights who are taking the law into their own hands. And so he wrestles with a dilemma: Should he attempt, in this climate of mistrust, to reestablish the legendary Jedi Council?
As the Jedi and the Republic focus on internal struggles, a new threat surfaces, unnoticed, beyond the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim. An enemy appears from outside known space, bearing weapons and technology unlike anything New Republic scientists have ever seen. Suddenly Luke, Mara, Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca -- along with the Solo children -- are thrust again into battle, to defend the freedom so many have fought and died for. But this time, all their courage, sacrifice, and even the power of the Force itself may not be enough....
Value for money
Well to start off with it only costs $2.99 which is a lot cheaper than a regular book and considering it comes with some pretty good extras it is definately worth your money for this i give it 10 out of 10 :approve:
What it comes with
Not only do you get the book you also get some extras which are the following.
1) Excerpts from Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels with images and technical readouts on the Yuuzhan Vong Warship, the Yuuzhan Vong Worldship, the Millennium Falcon, and the Jade Fire. (these are basically diagrams of some of the more popular ships in the star wars saga)
I give this extra 9 out of 10
2) The Yuuzhan Vong section of the NJO Bible -- a unique glimpse into the alien enemy's culture and background. (this basically tells you about the culture and history of the aliens)
I give this extra 8 out of 10
3) An interview with some of the key players from the New Jedi Order series creative team on the origins of the series. (as it says some interviews with the writers and creaters i thought these where very well done)
I give this exttra 9 out of 10
The book itself
(dont worry about reading this it doesnt spoil the storyline in the slightest)
The first chapter is very well written and tells you about the new characters like Laieas (how do you spell that) daughter and Lukes wife but also leaves some of the classic character like Luke and Leia :approve: The book itself is about average lengh which is okay due to the large price tags :approve:. I found the book to be very well written and easy to understand for someone who is not a large ebook fan. The only problem i actually found was that the chapters where rather large and this made it difficult to say read it on the bus and then carrying on reading it on the bus back.
I rate this book 9 out of ten
It can be found

See what i mean have a go guys :approve:
