Query: Finally some fresh air for the Star Wars universe!

I think Salvatore did a pretty good job with this book. For a beginner he is certainly throwing things around in the New Republic. But it was all neccesary!Before the New Jedi Order(which starts with "Vector Prime") life was getting to be somewhat dull in the Star Wars univererse. Over forty books were published with nothing really happening to the people and planets of the New Republic. I can not even begin to count how many times I have read about some disgruntled imperial admrial trying to get back at the New Republic or some bitter war lord trying to kidnap the Solo kids, and so it goes on.Salvatore's book changes all that. Yes, he does kill Chewbacca off, but I am bent to believe it was neccessary!All in all, a great read, although the Solo kids tend to be irrittating little brats in the book!
