Vector Prime: Star Wars Legends (The New Jedi Order)
Vector Prime: Star Wars Legends (The New Jedi Order) | R.A. Salvatore
9 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
An exciting new era of Star Wars history is about to begin--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 launch novel for 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 Skywalker, 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. . . . 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!

I stopped reading. This book completely lost me 160 pages in. I found myself pushing myself to read the last two chapters. It‘s DNF pile now.

Vector Prime is the first book in the New Jedi Order series. It introduces the Yuuzhan Vong, an Aztec-like species of invaders from another galaxy. Salvatore caught a lot of flak for killing off a certain beloved character.

This was a good first book in a series. I'm excited to continue The New Jedi Order and see where the story goes.

Reading on the back deck while the sky turns purple. Listening to the birds, crickets, and distant woosh of traffic. This is the best.

So I realized today that I'm currently reading (or dipping in and out of) four different Star Wars books. Whoops.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I was thinking I‘m behind on a bunch of Star Wars books, and I think I need to plan a May the 4th, all month of May reading catch-up spree. 6y
annkuch13 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Ooh! That's a good idea! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have Leia, Ahsoka, and From a Certian Points of View waiting already, and I‘ll soon be adding 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I haven‘t even picked up The Last Jedi, or Canto Bright yet. 6y
annkuch13 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Leia and Ahsoka are so good! And I can't wait for Last Shot! 6y

#ScenesFromABook #PassTheTissues

Long before episode VII or VIII...long before Disney bought the Star Wars franchise & the extended universe was still considered canon (and not just legend), author Bob Salvatore was the first to kill off one of the main original Star Wars characters.

I curse that day & the scene still makes me sad/angry/confused/lets all just get drunk and pretend it never happened/someone pass me a tissue. 😭
