Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thought James Luceno's Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial was a wonderful addition to the New Jedi Order series that took us back to Han's rough-and-tumble past. Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse isn't so much a sequel as a continuation of the series' overarching Yuuzhan Vong invasion. This time, the New Republic recruits the Hapans to their cause and try to predict where the Vong will strike next. As a book, it advances the series, but the plot seems a bit too much like an Expanded Universe grab-bag with all of the EU references. We not only see the Hapans, but also Centerpoint Station and droids from the Han Solo trilogy. Meanwhile, Han goes looking for Droma's relatives and, sure enough, finds himself in the middle of the action. Luceno spends a lot of time on these various subplots, but none of them seems gripping in their own right. At times, the plots descend into the "silliness" that characterized the later EU books. I thought Anakin's choice at the end was particularly ridiculous. Overall though, there are enough twists to make this a worthwhile entry. The intrigue with the Hutts is great, as is the subplot involving the "traitor." The best part is that Luceno really manages to trick readers and keep them guessing as to the Vong's next target - an admirable trait in a series that too often spoils its surprises. Also, his writing is second to none.
