Product Description

BONUS: This original novella includes an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: New Jedi Order: Force Heretic I: Remnant and an interview with the author.

RIPE FOR THE PLUCKING

That’s Jedi Knight Kyp Durron’s opinion about the planet Ylesia, home base of the so-called Peace Brigade, a group of traitors dedicated to hindering the war efforts of the New Republic and hastening the ultimate victory of the merciless Yuuzhan Vong. Kyp’s plan calls for a lightning-fast strike, backed with overwhelming force, to destroy the Brigade’s offensive capabilities and teach prospective traitors that betrayal carries a heavy price. But young Jacen Solo, still bearing the scars of his imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong, has a better idea: a daring raid into the heart of Ylesia’s capital, with the objective of capturing the Brigade’s top leaders—including the newly sworn-in President, Thrackan Sal-Solo, cousin to Jacen and his twin, Jaina.

But unknown to the Jedi and the New Republic forces, Supreme Overlord Shimrra of the Yuuzhan Vong has dispatched reinforcements to the Ylesia system. Instead of a swift surgical strike, Jaina, Jacen, Kyp, and their comrades are about to find themselves locked in a desperate battle for survival, with the odds stacked against them and time running out. . . .

No Star Wars fan will want to miss this exciting eBook exclusive adventure from Nebula Award-winner Walter Jon Williams, author of the forthcoming Star Wars The New Jedi Order hardcover novel, Destiny’s Way.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Thrackan story, May 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Ylesia (Kindle Edition)
Most of the New Jedi Order books focus on the Solo kids, to the extent that some are viewed as "Jacen books" or "Jania books." The novella Ylesia is if anything a book starring Thrackan Sal-Solo. Thrackan is forcibly recruited by the Yuuzhan Vong to become president of the Peace Brigade Republic. However, the New Republic forces also choose to attack Ylesia. There's nothing new or terribly exciting in the novel, but it's a nice side story. It's written in a similar style as Destiny's Way (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 14), which isn't surprising as they're both by the same author. This short story actually takes place during the novel, so I'd recommend reading the novel first so Ylesia doesn't spoil any surprises.

4.0 out of 5 stars All in all a good story, November 29, 2011

This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Ylesia (Kindle Edition)
Ylesia is a good short story for any fan of the NJO series to read, especially since they refer back to events in it later. However, if you buy the paperback version of Star by Star, you get it for free (as well as the short story Recovery). Why pay twice (or 3x if you want Recovery as well) when you can just pay once?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good filler book, June 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Ylesia (Kindle Edition)
This book was more a filler piece tying in the other main novels of the New Jedi Order.
I found it enjoyable as it told a bit of a side story giving the reader a better understanding of other machinations of the Yuzhan Vong war without relying heavily on the main characters.
