I really liked to see how he tried and failed to use the Force (after Luke asked Corran to join his Academy). I was particularly pleased to see mentions to Outbound Flight, the Katana fleet, Winter, and even Talon Karrde! And speaking of Winter and Karrde, Stackpole writes them brilliantly, just as I think Zahn would want.Ĭorran Horn gets some growth: relationally and in the Force. Stackpole continues to please me by including continuity nods to Zahn’s trilogy among others.
Instead of working with the New Republic, the Rogues have to leave in order to defeat the Empire (which is very different than how most authors tend to paint the New Republic, as the rosy-posy, goody-two-shoes, nearly utopian government). It’s nice to see the pilots of Rogue Squadron have to fight with their brains instead of overwhelming firepower. Being Rogues, Wedge, Tycho, Corran, and the others leave their post and begin to plan a way to release Thyferra from Imperial rule. After the events of The Krytos Trap, the Rogues were in a sticky position: let Ysanne Isard have control of Thyferra and the galaxy’s supply of bacta (which would cure the deadly Krytos virus) or leave the New Republic and go after her.
