Force Heretic III: Reunion: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order

Written by Sean Williams and Shane Dix

Narrated by Jonathan Davis

The Jedi move one step closer to saving the embattled galaxy- only to confront a formidable wall of resistance.

The harrowing search for Zonama Sekot is finally over for Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the others aboard the Jade Shadow. But joy turns to alarm when the living planet sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back to a galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery.

While Luke works feverishly to persuade the elusive planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launches a full-scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance. Sent to defend a major communications base, Han and Leia find themselves hopelessly outnumbered. Reinforcements are just too far away to help before everything is destroyed. So the courageous pair must now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering odds. Whether they actually survive is another matter. . . .

Reviews for Force Heretic III

[sdobie_2 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Han and Leia embark on a mission to contact parts of the galaxy that have been cut of by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Luke and Mara go in search of the living planet Zonama Sekot, and get caught up in a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the Imperial Remnant.A pretty generic book in the New Jedi Order sequence. A good amount of space battle action, but not much overall plot development for the series.

[slothman_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Williams and Dix create three threads of plot to follow: an expedition led by Han and Leia Solo to reopen channels of communication that fell during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong; an expedition led by Luke Skywalker into the Unknown Regions in search of the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot; and the development of a heretical pro-Jedi movement among the Yuuzhan Vong. They visit some of the worlds that have thus far received little attention during the New Jedi Order books. I think the best writing in this volume is their treatment of the efforts of diplomacy with the remnants of the old Empire.
