Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this.
Yes, I'm a faithful Star Wars reader. I am a Star Wars freak. I own every Expanded Universe novel, have read them cover to cover. And for some reason, my passion for Star Wars - regardless that I have spent my money on them - has waned. Perhaps it is because the Star Wars line has ALWAYS been about Luke, Han, Leia and the kids, and the same enemies (I have to say I'm not really that impressed with the Fate of the Jedi series, but I will continue to read it because, well, I'm a Star Wars fan).
But I admit this today: Paul S. Kemp has re-affirmed my love for Star Wars in his debut EU release, Crosscurrent.
Kemp takes a fresh look at the Star Wars EU, mixing in names we've heard about and have loved and adds strong pacing that leaves the reader wondering how he got to page 153 when it seemed he was just on page 32. He takes a little-known Jedi by the name of Jaden Korr and mixes him in with a pair of scavengers -- one who was born during the time of Outbound Flight, the other a Cerean with light Force-sensitivity -- as well as a Jedi transported through time 5,000 years from the time of Naga Sadow (a living Holocron, if you will), and turns the tale into an instant Star Wars classic.

An ancient Sith ship hurtles into the future carrying a lethal cargo that could forever destroy Luke Skywalker's hopes for peace. The Civil War is almost over when Jedi Knight Jaden Korr experiences a Force vision so intense he must act. Enlisting two salvage jocks and their ship, Jaden sets out into space. Someone—or something—appears to be in distress.But what Jaden and his crew find confounds them. A five-thousand-year-old dreadnaught—bringing with it a full force of Sith and one lone Jedi—has inadvertently catapulted eons from the past into the present. The ship's weapons may not be cutting-edge, but its cargo, a special ore that makes those who use the dark side nearly invincible, is unsurpassed. The ancient Jedi on board is determined to destroy the Sith. But for Jaden, even more is at stake: for his vision has led him to uncover a potentially indestructible threat to everything the Jedi Order stands for.
