Community of Readers

Title Star Wars: Betrayal
Author Aaron Allston
Rating Somewhat Recommended
Book Review For the first book in a roughly 9-10 book series, it wasn't the best read. Everything takes place about 30 years after Episode 4. At this point, there is a semi-newly established government that's showing traces of the Empire by its actions against Han Solo's home world and people, which divides the characters. In the middle of this is an underlying sub-plot involving one of Han and Leia's Jedi sons, who really, really, really likes to be philosophical in explaining why he has issues with the Jedi Order. Exposition with that character - and subsequent writing - takes away from the novel. I found myself not interested in about 150 pages of the book as a result.
