5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who likes suspense, action and Jedi Knights., September 7, 1999

This review is from: The Emperor's Plague (Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights, Book 11) (Paperback)

I read this book. It's excellently written, very sci-fi, and once you start you just can't stop.

In this book, Zekk and Raynar go to search for the missing Bornan Thul. Bornan is protecting a deadly plague and weapons depot. There is enough plague in the place to kill every living creature in the entire galaxy.

Zekk and Raynar finally reach Bornan, only to find that he is cornered by bounty hunters Shakra and Boba Fett. Bornan puts the ship into self- destruct, grabs his navicomputer holding the coordinates to the depot, and jumps into his escape pod. But, before the ship blows, Boba Fett successfully slices into Thul's computer and takes information form the ship's log. Then, he returns to Nolaa Tarkona, the leader of the diversity alliance, and leaves.

Jacen and Jaina Solo, Tenel Ka Chume Ta'a Djo, and Lowbacca join Zekk, Raynar and Bornan and make it to the weapons depot. They must use mines and other bombs to blow up the depot before Nolaa Tarkona reaches it.

At the end, there's a BIG surprise so you'll have to read the book or I'll give it away. Anyone Who is willing to read a book 2 cm thick and thinks they can handle it is more than welcome to read it !

5.0 out of 5 stars Words cant express how GREAT this book is., August 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Emperor's Plague (Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights, Book 11) (Paperback)

I love the young jedi knights series.I mean love them.And this book keeps up to the action of the series and Jacen and JAina's adventures.I wish though that Zekk had kissed Jaina when he had the chance.and I thought it was hilarious that Head Strong Tenel ka made the first move on Poor unsuspecting Jacen Solo.Also I thought the book was sad because just as Raynar finds his father,his father is killed by the very plague he worked sohard to protect.But I loved it (duh!)and I really recommand this book.Run out and buy it.You wont be dissappointed!
