Hugo winner Zahn, author of five previous Star Wars novels (Heir to the Empire, etc.), serves up another G-rated crowd-pleaser in the bestselling franchise series. Regulars will recognize the cast, but newcomers may raise an eyebrow to learn that Luke Skywalker, whom they lovingly left as a youth on a screen in a galaxy far away, is now a married man. His wife, Mara Jade, is, however, no simple suburbanite clutching little Skywalkers. Having spent her early years innocently supporting a dictator, she now flies beside her husband, content to swap technological chitchat instead of romantic twaddle. She is, after all, a Jedi Knight, the equal of her Master Jedi husband and just as handy at wielding a blazing light saber. The alien Chiss, inadvertently or otherwise, have shot down Outbound Flight, the fabulous lost group of super dreadnoughts bearing more than 50,000 people into the most distant reaches of space, a scenario reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein's classic Universe, if without the cosmological wonder. Now, half a century later, many species have assembled to locate the wreckage. To their surprise, when they discover the remains, survivors uninterested in being saved inhabit them. To no one's surprise, Luke and Mara are up to the situation's needs. Full of action and more twists than a corkscrew, this stand-alone SF adventure novel is sure to satisfy its target teen audience.

Continuing the intriguing story of Outbound Flight it takes you many years after the Battle of Endor.
I liked the book and am a great fan of all the star wars Timothy has written.
Personally I think the story line would be confusing if I had not read "Outbound Flight" but I think the plot and characters are all sound and different in they're own ways.
It's wonderful in my opinion to find out more about Thrawn and the Chiss race.
I like the twist of the story that 501st squadron puts in and the mysterious Jorj Car'das whose story is finally uncovered in the minds of Luke and Mara.
This book takes a little while to read as you need to capture every little detail for everything to make sense; especially since we're dealing with more Chiss!
This book is a great addition to the Star Wars Saga!
(Though before you read it would be better to read Outbound Flight(also by Timothy Zahn) first.)

It was nice to see Luke and Mara as a married couple, but there wasn't much love. Then again, this is a Star Wars book. This is definitely my least favorite of Zahn's books.
