The first of an original audiobook trilogy charting the beginning of the galaxy's victory of the dreadful Yuuzhan Vong alien invaders. Under the leadership of Luke Skywalker and a combined Jedi-government council, the newly formed Galactic Federation of Free Alliances is doggedly fighting back--and winning. Luke is on a quest for a legend, in hope of bringing back the ultimate answer. to the war. And a mysterious prophet has risen among the Yuuzhan Vong lower castes to turn the Yuuzhan Vong culture on its ear.

He is a bad person as you have said, but he adds something to all the storylines he is in, his selfishness belies the Vong Selflessness, showing possible flaws in Vong characters that may be the start of the downfall.
In all he is a good character in the stories - not everyone is good.

Viqi Shesh is both a bad Person and a badly written in character, she should have been finished earlier and not just written back in for further deceit.

It'll be fun to read about Luke looking for Zonoma Sekot. I didn't really like RP but maybe Luke will find out about Anakin and OB1 going there and their role in the planet leaving in the first place.

The book does come out soon.....but I still very much dislike the cover art.....ok well just say mild dislike...it's strange....I like the clean cut ones ...even DW's cover was better
Yes, it is a book. I saw it and was skimming thru it in the grocery store the other day when I went shopping with my parents.
BUT, since I'm NOT buying any more Star Wars books, especially the remainder of the NJO series, since Troy -Anakin Killer- Denning killed my hero, I'll give a very brief review of what I did read.
Sure enough, just like in EVERY stinking NJO book since Anakin was murdered by that hack who was trying to make a name for himself, this book too continues the tradition of pouring salt into the open wound of Anakins death by mentioning the fact that he's gone repeatedly.
And they come up with a new twist here too. Tahiri is appparently rescued by Jacen and you have her thinking how much she wished she could have saved Anakin, and how the Solo family would now also be her family "If only Anakin had lived."
Just reading that part reinforced my decision to never buy another Star Wars book unless and until they find a way to bring Anakin back.

P.S. That HACK Denning is in the process of writing another Star Wars book that will be called Tatooine Ghost. I wonder which of the major characters he'll kill off in this one. Didn't the loss of so many Anakin fans after Star by Star teach George Lucas to get Denning out of the SW Universe?
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Eeeerrm. Don't u understand it wasn't Dennings idea to kill off Anakin. Del Rey make the decisions, the writers just create the storys. No major characters will be killed of in Tatooine Ghost because its set before Han and Leia are married. I was kinda glad that Anakin was killed off. The Solo offspring(to be honest most of the new jedi) are to one dimensional apart from now that Jacen gone through a bit of a change(thanks to Matt Stover<what a great book, can't wait for Shatterpoint).
