However, what leads me to leave a comment is noticing the Tony Blair quote employed by the Sith Lord in the book - "You know, Captain, I feel the hand of history on my shoulder. I really do."
Excellent, snide political comment.
Gripping penulitmate entry to the series - Rated
Revelation is book eight of Legacy of the Force and Karen Traviss rounds off her final contribution to the series in style. The pieces are brought into their final positions before the conclusion. We see Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus continue to spiral down the path he tried so hard to avoid, all the while trying to convince himself he is still on the right track and that everything can still come right. The war takes a startling turn as his allies within the Galactic Alliance leadership and military try to end his destructive quest for order.
Revelation delivers the frantic feel that a penultimate book needs to have going into the concluding chapter plus a great deal more. We see the Imperial Remnant come into the war in a big way. The plot begins with Jacen Solo trying to get an Galactic Alliance member state to commit its own fleet to the ongoing war in a situation a lot like the Wookiees assault fleet from Inferno. This time it is the Imperial Remnants fleet that is needed by Jacen. However the Imperial Remnant under the command of former Gallactic Alliance Defense Forces Supreme Commander Gilad Pelleon decides to go along with Jacens plan to attack the Confederations shipyard world of Fondor, if only to be in a position to make a grab for power if things go wrong. This along with Joint Chief of State Cha Niathals new alliance with the Jedi Order to remove Jacen from power set the scene for the explosive Battle of Fondor which sees major revelations for everyone involved. The battle is amazing and quite unique as it takes up a large chunk of the novel. While this is taking place we see Jaina Solo learn from Boba Fett and the Mandalorians the tips and tricks to bring her brother in or bring him down for the good of the galaxy. The book also has a great plot focusing on Ben Skywalker investigating his mothers death this is one of my favorite parts of the book full of heartbreaking scenes. Giving us an amazing depiction of young Ben Skywalker searching for the truth and doing things by the book. All this takes place at a great pace propelling us towards the finale with shocking revelations, events and an out of the blue appearance of a face from the past.
Karen Traviss does a very good job of telling a gripping story in its own right while obviously moving everything in place for the series conclusion. Which plays to Karen Traviss's strengths. In all honesty I believe her uncompromising and less clean cut approach to the series plot would have made her a bad choice to end the series but in Revelation it is an essential quality in gearing up for the final book Invincible. As the saying goes "It is always darkest before the dawn". Highly recommended.
