Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole continues The New Jedi Order epic with Dark Tide II: Ruin, a thrilling Star Wars adventure in which the Jedi Knights must fight their most treacherous battle—against an unrelenting evil intent on devouring the galaxy. . . .

The alien Yuuzhan Vong have launched an attack on the worlds of the Outer Rim.  They are merciless, without regard for life—and they stand utterly outside the Force.  Their ever-changing tactics stump the New Republic military. Even the Jedi, once the greatest guardians of peace in the galaxy, are rendered helpless by this impervious foe—and their solidarity has begun to unravel.

While Luke struggles to keep the Jedi together, Knights Jacen Solo and Corran Horn set off on a reconnaissance mission to the planet Garqi, an occupied world. There, at last, they uncover a secret that might be used to undermine the enemy—if only they can stay alive long enough to use it!

Goodreads review by Adam on December 16, 2024

Stackpole is a unique author, but in this book it felt like we got all of his negative aspects and very few of the positive. Usually stackpole is a very clever writer, and while he wrote some of the military strategy quite well, pretty much everything else was a let down. Without going into spoilers......more

This shakes out to 19 novels, two eBook novellas, three short stories, and a tangentially-related prequel era novel. This week’......more
