Product Description
Fighting alongside the Corellian rebels, Han and Leia are locked in a war against their son Jacen, who grows more powerful and more dangerous with each passing day. Nothing can stop Jacen’s determination to bring peace with a glorious Galactic Alliance victory–whatever the price.

While Luke grieves the loss of his beloved wife and deals with his guilt over killing the wrong person in retaliation, Jaina, Jag, and Zekk hunt for the real assassin, unaware that the culprit commands Sith powers that can cloud their minds and misdirect their attacks–and even turn them back on themselves.

As Luke and Ben Skywalker struggle to find their place among the chaos, Jacen, shunned by friends and family, launches an invasion to rescue the only person still loyal to him. But with the battle raging on, and the galaxy growing more turbulent and riotous, there’s no question that it is Jacen who is most wanted: dead or alive.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Fury (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 7) (Mass Market Paperback) First of all, allow me to apologize to Troy Denning for my review of the last offering in this series, "Inferno". I was under the impression that the prior book was a momentary lapse in judgment for the direction of the series. Apparently what has happened is that the writers got together and panicked because they had actually written a believable, almost sympathetic character in Jacen Solo in the early books and needed some way to eliminate his humanity so that the reader wouldn't feel remorse when he likely gets bumped off later in the series. Indeed, those of us living in grown up land realize that the world can sometimes be shades of gray, and the lines of good and evil are not as sharply drawn as we would like. Indeed, this is how Jacen first started on his path as a Sith Lord, hoping to use the teachings of the Sith without being evil. Indeed, the best of intentions and constant desire to do what was necessary - not out of malice or spite - just necessity in doing what was needed for the galaxy to be safe. Now that Jacen has become Darth NastyEvil, all common sense has been thrown under the writer's feet, and every opportunity is taken for Jacen to come across as a psychopathic schizophrenic emo nut case. Jacen: "I love my daughter and want to be with her." ** two pages later ** Jacen: "If you don't do what I want I'll kill my daughter!" ** ten pages later ** Jacen: "OH NOES! They are shooting at me and my daughter is with me! I'm so angry at them because I love her!" The Star Wars that we "know and love" is back, with an out of control dictator using force-choke to kill subordinates, planet-destroying super weapons, and more cliches than you can shake a lightsaber at. Yep, I must applaud the writers for taking this direction in such an "original" direction and reviving my interest in the EU. What really makes me upset is the potential this series had, and the sharp outline they decided to follow. I can't wait for the next book by Mrs. Karen "Boba Fett takes up 2/3 of the book even though the other writers barely mention him!" Traviss. The preview at the end of Fury was priceless - Jaina thinks it might be too hard to fight Jacen with a lightsaber so the story of the book follows her having Boba Fett teach her how to hunt Jedi. Way to fit him into a story he doesn't belong in. I.Am.Not.Kidding. If you haven't started this series, I'd recommend against it because after book 4 or 5 things start to go downhill.
