This review is from: Enemy lines (Star wars, The new Jedi order) (Paperback)

Aaron Allston was one of the two main authors involved in the X-Wing series, and he brings the magic of that series back with this entry in the New Jedi Order series. This is probably one of the better books in the NJO series. Like the X-Wing books, much of the story revolves around the characters of the pilots. Wedge Antilles makes a strong appearance here - finally! The other characters come out as more nuanced and textured than many of the NJO books. Jania continues to shine, now that her brothers are dead or MIA. She also develops a romantic relationship, the first serious one I believe. Kyp and Jag Fel stop being cardboard characters and actually reveal some of their fears and passions. However, the best thing about this book is the plot. Wedge and the rest of the Republic heros decide they have to fight the Yuuzhan Vong using alternative, Rebellion-style tactics. It makes the plot all the more interesting to know that both sides are trying to maneuver the other into a trap, but never quite knowing what it is or when it will spring. I'm looking forward to reading Allston's next entry in the series.
