"Simply Excellent"
Very fast paced and entertaining. Inferno picks up with Luke trying to cope the loss of his wife, Mara. Meanwhile Caedus prepares to launch a decisive strike against the Confederation fleet.

Hoping to rely on the Jedi he tries to coerce them into helping him he decides to have a squadron hold the Jedi Academy hostage.

Though still grieving Luke leads the Jedi away from Jacen and creates a new alliance. Caedus, of course is enraged, but life sucks, jerk. Anway it leads to an all out fight with Luke and Caedus with Ben's life in the balance. Unforuantely Luke doesn't kill Caedus when he has the chance. My only gripe about the book.

But still, Inferno is really entertaining and a good read.

"Inferno review"
First of all, I am without question a die-hard Star Wars fan. I've read every book, played every game and seen every movie. With that said, the Legacy of the Force series is a disgrace to the name. Twisting Jacen Solo into what he is now is just beyond belief. In terms of literature, LoF is rather dull. It's overly political with brief spurts of almost senseless violence. Somehow, it makes the beloved characters seem incompetent and stupid, despite the fact that Luke should be the greatest and wisest Jedi of all time. Inferno is slightly better than most of the others in the series so far, with the exception Sacrifice. There's more of a hook and it ends with a brutal lightsaber battle that was enjoyable to read, even though it pitted two of my favorite characters against each other. It does spark the thought that Luke's NJO is far less forgiving and redemption-driven than the Old Jedi Order, or even Luke himself. Having said that, understand this you morons. Luke IS SUPPOSED to be the most powerful, the most skilled and the wisest Jedi of all time. Denning loves Luke? Get over it. He's the best ever, period.

"Take the time to read it. "
Jacen Solo having abandoned all pretensions at "saving the galaxy" is quite different here then he was at the beginning of book one. Borrowing a page from his Grandfather's book he takes over a Jedi academy to "protect" it. This leads to the first real confrontation between Jacen and the rest of his family.

Ben is finally seeing the light about how far down the dark path Jacen has gone. However there are still indications that he could go "dark"

Luke for the most part is really out of it trying to deal with the death of his wife (who I never really did care for but hey I'm all for thinning the character herd). The readers are left to wonder if he is just feigning this to be able to get Jacen to drop his guard. I'm not going to spoil it for you about which it is.

A new faction of Sith are also introduced what part they are to play in what is left of the series is open to debate. I like them already because one of them commenting about the mistakes that Vader and Palpetine made says "no wonder all it took to bring them down was a farmboy and a prissy princess." I imagine even the best fans have been thinking that for years.

Overall-Just a great book and the series just keeps getting better.


"Benefits from what came before..."
I had been rather frustrated with the Legacy of the Force series up until this point. It had been a little too "been there, done that", amongst other complaints. Having said that, I enjoyed Inferno very, very much. Why? Well, suffice to say, and without revealing anything, Inferno could not be as enjoyable without all the frustration that came before it. Troy Denning has written a satisfyling fun entry into the series that I can only hope is but a glimpse of what we can expect for the last three books.

"It is about time"
I would have to say that overall this is the best book in this series. Yeah it seemed a little weak in character development and some of the action scenes were just a little to much to be believable to me, it was nice to see Luke finally wake up and starting kicking some a** for a change. I was getting sick of seeing the whole galaxy just coo over Jacen and nobody seemed to even question him, much less stand up to him.

The fight between him and Luke was a bit over the top as well, and I actually thought Jacen was going to die for a minute there. But no, a few pages later he is up and walking around, despite being stabbed, slashed, busted, beaten and left for dead. It almost made me wonder why Anakin didn't just get up and walk it off when Obi-Wan left him for dead.

But this was the best one so far and it was the first one I read in one sitting. All the others before this just left me scratching my head waiting for something to happen.

"The Force Is Not As Strong As It Should Have Been With This Series", Well I guess I better start out by clearly stating that this review is based upon the entire "Legacy of the Force" series and not solely on this particular book. With that in mind, this same review will be posted on each book in the series under the same guidelines, as a review on the entire series, not just a single book in the series. With that in mind, here goes...

My first comment is that the overall feel for this series seems to be a bit off. Now I don't know if it is me, or if other readers got the same impression. I have the tendency to believe that it was due in part to having more than one author writing the series, rather than having just a single author write all nine (9) books in the series. There are definitely some books in the series that are much better written than others, not that any of these authors are bad by any means, it just feels like something got lost somewhere in the shuffle. Like I said, maybe it's just me.

The plot of the series is pretty good, with Jacen Solo turning over to the dark side and following in his grandfather's footsteps, while at the same time cementing his hold on the galaxy itself and attempting to get Luke and Mara's son Ben to become his apprentice. This of course put everyone on a collision course that makes it even more interesting because of the family ties involved.

However, did any other readers feel like Jacen was merely a punk trying to be Sith Lord? Or once again is it just me. I felt that the other Sith in the story, were much better portrayed as true Sith and that Jacen was merely being used as a puppet to an even greater Sith who has of yet been unrevealed. Which would make the story much better with that back-story alone instead of the predominant one.

I did really enjoy Jaina's relationship with Boba Fett and the Mandalorians and that alone brought the whole series an extra star and a half in my book.

I was saddened to see the demise of one of my favorite characters as I felt that this character had so much more to offer than the pipsqueak wannabee Sith, Jacen Solo.

I would recommend this series as it is "Star Wars," and therefore, a definite must read for those of us who are one with the force. However, please be forewarned that the various books in the series seem to have a rollercoaster of up and down moments and the whole series as a whole could have been much better if written by only one author rather than several.

Here are the links for each individual book in the series starting with the first one.

"Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Inferno", This is a well written book. I was pulled through the story by the action and the suspence. This will be one of my favorite book series.

"The book that didn't stop", The title of this isn't to say anyone and everyone will enjoy this. But the title of my review is to say that I couldn't stop enjoying this book.

I got it on a Tuesday and finished it that Wednesday night. The story for me was Star Wars, fast and full of twists and turns to enjoy. And unlike most books, the ending itself not only satisfied me, but left me craving the next in the series.

"Finally :)", I really liked Sacrifice (except for the Boba Fett intervals), but this book is where it REALLY takes off. I loved reading all of it. Finally it seems like Jacen's character has progressed, and this is some of the best writing of Han's comic character in a while, and FINALLY Luke gets in the actionI almost started cheering. I was waiting to see the most powerful Jedi ever finally show some of his stuff. Overall, this one was a page turner. Denning really gets the characters right this time.

"Legacy of the Force: Inferno", I have come in during the middle of this series and, despite having only a partial view, this book is the best in the series.

The book opens with Jacen manipulating Tahiri, who apparently is still swimming in grief over Anakin. A rather sorry state of affairs for a Jedi, if you ask me.

Luke is in shock about Mara's death and his killing the wrong person in retaliation. Totally understandable. I mean, this guy has had it rough throughout his entrie life and had finally found some happiness. I would have perferred that Luke and Mara died together, but we can't always get our wishes.

Han and Leia are front and center in much of this book and that is a good thing.

Jacen/Caedus is becoming very dark in this book. He punishes the home world of his father's best friend just because the planet's inhabitants weren't immediately turning over their ships to him. And it is just typical Sith stupidity is that he doesn't realize that his actions are causing more harm than good.

Tenel Ka gets hit between the eyes with just how evil Jacen really is. She trys to make him reconcile with Luke and the Jedi, but Jacen just deceives her and then trys to blow smoke over his trail.

Ben is about to get hit with the fact that Jacen is trying to make him into a Sith, too.

A character that I really liked in the New Jedi Order series and absolutely despised in the Swarm War Trilogy gets slaughtered to deceive another character.

Jaina, Jag, and Zekk are busy hunting for Alema Rar and get side tracked when they arrive at the Jedi Academy on Ossus. The idea of Jacen posting GAG soldiers at the academy to enforce the continuing "friendship" between the government and the Jedi is just plain sick. The commander of the GAG soldiers is totally insane and proved it near the end of the book.

The subplot about Alema Rar was rather interesting. A Dark Jedi with a Sith ship who is trying to murder Leia and is currently being hunted by two Jedi and a bounty hunter (I don't like that description of Jag, but I don't write the character titles). Alema goes to the Sith homeworld to try to enlist their help and she hopes to become Jacen's new mentor. Highly unlikly, if you ask me.

There are some pretty good space battles in this book.

You get a scare in the last 150 pages of the book when Luke and Jaina make a run at Jacen's flag ship. I almost had a heart attack when I read that passage.

The lightsaber duel between Luke and Jacen was very well written. I could almost hear John Williams 'Battle of the Heroes' track from Episode III while I was reading it. (Hey, George Lucas! You've got a great possibilty for a new movie in this book, if you ask me!!!)

The scene is Jacen's secret chamber on the 'Anakin Solo', just before the lightsaber duel, was pretty hair raising. *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Jacen clearly is deceiving himself if he thinks that what he is doing is good for the galaxy. We will see how Mr. Denning writes the final book of this series. I can't wait!!

May the Force be with us!!!

"Welcome Addition to Collection", I recently received "Inferno" to add to my Star Wars novels collection. I haven't had an opportunity to read it yet. My only disappointment came when I was forced to ask Amazon where the order was, as it had not arrived on the arrival date as promised. I then received 2 copies as everything got crossed in the e-mail/mail.

"Expanded Universe Fans Only", As this is a book that takes place decades after the movies, only buy this if you have been following the series of books that expand the Star Wars Universe.

That said, I personally loved the book. If you follow the SW EU, you're going to buy this anyways, so...

"Inferno-Star Wars", The Legacy of the force was a brilliant idea to bring the characters into the future way past the defeat of the empire.
I can't wait until the next book in the series comes out.

"Luke is Still the Grand Master", As the EU has progressed we have seen Luke kind of get pushed into the background a little as he allows others of the Jedi Order to battle the evils of the Star Wars Universe but every once in a while we are reminded that Luke can still "Bring It" when he has to and this book is an excellent example of that. Luke is still the son of the "Chosen One" and his power is beyond belief but he seldom uses it in that matter but I don't think Jacen, or whatever he wants to call himself, will forget it after the way that Luke smacked him around with almost no effort in this book. If you're a fan of Luke this book is for you. At one point you will be shaking your head in horror saying no it can't be ... then you will be reminded that Luke is still the MAN.

"Excellent book.", The books is short. That's the only negative thing to say about it. Action is present throughout the story. The tension is mounting. You get a real feel for how the character's are feeling and how that affects their actions. Again, this is a great book.
