I like the aged Luke on the cover, and the Yuuzhan Vong on the cover is what I now picture them looking like. I wasn't sure about the cover artwork at first, but it has grown on me. It is, of course, very different from the old Bantam novels. Well, lets start off with the design of the book. I'm going to be long winded here, but I think it's necessary. How will our heroes win? Will more die? How is Mara's disease connected to the Yuuzhan Vong? For answers, you'll have to read the book! The stakes are risen even higher when Chewbacca dies saving Anakin Solo and a bunch of refugees as the Yuuzhan Vong cause the planet's moon to crash into it. Our heroes must deal with their strange alien technology and weapons which threaten to annihilate them. Of course, as they arrive, the Yuuzhan Vong quietly begin their invasion. The Skywalkers, the Solo Clan, and Chewbacca fly out to the Outer Rim for a vacation at Lando's latest mining operation and a fact finding mission on the Jedi Knights operating in that region. Unfortunately, he is distracted by a mysterious disease that is threatening to kill Mara Jade.
Luke considers re-establishing the Jedi Council again to organize them all. Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo are much older and ready to operate as full fledged Jedi Knights.
For example, Kyp Durron leads a squadron in the Outer Rim as smuggler busters. Luke Skywalker is now married to Mara Jade and there are now dozens more Jedi in the galaxy, all operating under their own authority and without coordination. Yomin Carr, in disguise, is also in position with a team of unsuspecting scientists at the edge of the galaxy waiting for the arriving invasion. Anor has been sowing the seeds of civil war on various planets in order to distract the New Republic. Their advance force, led by Nom Anor, has already been in position and preparing for the invasion for a while. Their technology is based on organic, genetically engineered organisms and their culture is based on war. The Yuuzhan Vong are an alien race from a neighboring galaxy and they are preparing to invade the Star Wars Galaxy. It takes place 25 years after A New Hope. This is the first book in the New Jedi Order series, and it is also the first Expanded Universe book Del Rey has published since they got the Star Wars license back.
