My good friend Gidrea Lightsky just wrote a short but touching blog about Order 66...
A Knight in shining armor. The Knights of the Round Table. A white Knight upon a fiery steed. Any way I look at it, a Knight is a hero, someone to revere, someone to call "Sir Galahad".

Go Ahead, Fall into the 'Abyss'
Fate of the Jedi: Abyss - Troy Denning doesn't disappoint! SPOILERS!
Volume three of Fate of Jedi is great! What else can I say? Read it!
I do have to say that I was ready to tear out my hair when I reached page sixty-something and found mention of those kriffin' Mandolorians, but my patience was rewarded when later a few Jedi, led by Leia, kick some Mando butt in a major way while saving three sick Jedi from being frozen in carbonite.
Luke and Ben are still out planet hopping, this time going into the Maw in search of the Mind Drinkers. Not something I'd want to do on my summer vacation, but hey, they're the hero type.
Their "out of body" Force experiences are both intriguing and amusing. "Dad, at your age you probably know a lot of dead people, we don't have time to talk to all of them." LOL
They do get to talk to Anakin Solo, Mara Jade and Jacen Solo. Ironically, it is Jacen that saves their lives... Luke decides that if Jacen wants them to keep going, it's bad advice and they go back to their bodies.
And just in time, too, for it's their turn to kick some major butt... on a group of Sith! Woo hoo!
So, I really enjoyed this book, it's definitely worth a read. Be sure you read "Outcast" and "Omen" first.
Sadly, the next volume won't be out until March... there's nothing to read!!!!
