    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole continues The New Jedi Order epic with Dark Tide II: Ruin, a thrilling Star Wars adventure in which the Jedi Knights must fight their most treacherous battle—against an unrelenting evil intent on devouring the galaxy. . . .

    The alien Yuuzhan Vong have launched an attack on the worlds of the Outer Rim.  They are merciless, without regard for life—and they stand utterly outside the Force. Their ever-changing tactics stump the New Republic military.  Even the Jedi, once the greatest guardians of peace in the galaxy, are rendered helpless by this impervious foe—and their solidarity has begun to unravel.

    While Luke struggles to keep the Jedi together, Knights Jacen Solo and Corran Horn set off on a reconnaissance mission to the planet Garqi, an occupied world. There, at last, they uncover a secret that might be used to undermine the enemy—if only they can stay alive long enough to use it!

    Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

    • 5/5
      The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.

    • 5/5
      Not only is this a good read and interesting as a first-person Star Wars novel (the only one thus far), it also serves neatly as "fix fic" to clear up some discrepancies and outright problems with "The Jedi Academy Trilogy." One of the best Star Wars titles of the Bantam line.
    • 3/5
      Corran Horn of Rogue Squadron is convinced to train his Jedi powers.
    • 4/5
      A great book. The main character was fairly powerful, and his was the only point-of-view. That is what I like.
    • 4/5
      This was one of my favorite of the Michael Stackpole novels. It was impressive, and kind of a refreshing change of pace to be reading a whole novel basically in first person POV.

    • 4/5
      One of Stackpole's stronger works, the first person narrative makes things a lot more interesting than they'd otherwise be. Some solid action sequences, neat ideas on Jedi training and good characterisation round up a perfectly good Star Wars book.
