While the New Republic struggles to decide what to do with the deadly Sun Crusher -- a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo -- the renegade Imperial Admiral Daala uses her fleet of Star Destroyers to conduct guerrilla warfare on peaceful planets. And now she threatens the watery homeworld of Admiral Ackbar. But as the battle for a planet rages, an even greater danger emerges at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. A brilliant student delves dangerously into the dark side of the Force and unleashes the spirit of an ancient master of the evil order that warped Darth Vader himself. Working together, they may become an enemy greater than the New Republic has ever fought... more powerful than even a Jedi Master can face. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bravo!I just finished the second installment of the Jedi Academy trilogy and I cannot wait to read the final installment. I was wary at first due to some of the reviews I read about this trilogy but I have to disagree with the majority. I have been a Star Wars fan since birth practically and decided to explore the expanded universe novels. Up until this trilogy I have to say it has been hit and miss some were just lame and yes Timothy Zahn's trilogy was good but this one has more action, more plot and ... Read More Rating:  - Read it if you mustGood story, terrible writing. Anderson's prose is trite, unimaginative, and, far too often, simply laughable. Which is a shame because the story is compelling. This is a key part of the Star Wars extended universe, however. So, read it if you must. But you've been warned. Rating: - Oh dear...First off I'd like to tell you that this is only the second Star Wars book I've ever read, 'Jedi Search' being the first. I actually liked the first book, it drew upon the Star Wars lore well and was a decent read. However, this book made me groan in so many places that I felt almost compelled to create an account here to have a little rant about it (BE WARNED, THIS MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS). Thusly: How much of the book was wasted with overly long descriptions? It reminds me of a ... Read More Rating: - A good book!I thought that this was a very good book. Not really one of my favorites, but still a good one. I also want to say to all of those that try to sniff out all of the little details about the book... Shut Up! Nobody cares if Han Solo was right handed but Kevin J Anderson made him left handed. Nobody cares if Luke wears one glove or two gloves. I mean SHUT UP! It is so annoying. Just enjoy the damn book! It was good and I thought it was very great. p.s. Kyp Durron is awsome. ... Read More Rating: - Better than Jedi SearchOk so this is book 2 of the academy trilogy and it is better then jedi search however at times it tends to drag going into detail... so any way the sun crusher is now in the hands of the new republic and the government is trying to figure out what to do with it some say it should be used against the empire others say no. While this is going on Kyp Durron is now at the Jedi academy preforming briliantly he has surpassed all the other students the problem is he feels like he's being held ... Read More
