Go read it, I say! The story, I mean. But not at work unless you have an office with a door. Otherwise, your co-workers will look at you funny when you’re laughing at your computer screen. Don’t ask me how I know this… 
QFT. Yeah, I don't know anything about reading it at work either. 
Celeste doesn't seem to be buying the company line about Zayne. The boy does seem to have that effect on people. You can't help but like him. 
RE Legacy....again, where's Blue?

I wasn't sure about Celeste, but she might be cool. I love how everyone who meets Zayne figures out immediately that he's not a murderer. 
Jan has me totally freaked out about Blue. I don't even want to talk about it. I can think of two reasons why she might not be there and I only like one of them. 
I can't speel today.

STAR WARS
Legacy of the Force: Invincible
Troy Denning
May 13, 2008
No war can last forever. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand.
The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine’s. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus.
It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.
The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome–and the fate of those left standing.
Is that the official summary? Dude - I can't get past the bad grammar! 
For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader.
Oh wait - they're serious....
let me laugh even harder.

Even more than Darth Vader, you say?  Yeah, don't count on it.
And Jaina's the new chosen one... or something.

Yup, so powerful with the Force that he got kneecapped by some random Mandalorian who only didn't kill him outright because Boba Fett wanted to kill him or some such rubbish.
But then, that was written by Karen "Mando Mando Mando Mando Mando Mando" Traviss.  Ahhh, car crash writing at it's finest. It's awful, but it has a horrible facination.

Have you guys seen the spoilers for Invincible?
From the Lit forum:
Caedus kills Isolder
Jaina kills Caedus
Zekk is missing, and is presumed dead when they only find the wreckage of his Stealth X
The Moffs released some sort of nanovirus on Mandalore specific to the Fett genome, cuz they were mad about Mandalore's involvement in the Battle of Nickel One. Boba Fett and Mirta Gev are now essentially not allowed to set foot on Mandalore or the virus will kill them
Daala is the new Chief of State
Allana was presumed dead after an assassination attempt, but after Jacen's death, Allana (now going under the name Ameilia) is being raised as a ward of Han and Leia's while she is training at the Jedi Academy
-------------
Tahiri:
After Caedus dies, Ben tracks her down and has a lightsaber duel with her. Instead of killing her, he lets her live. However, one of Tenel Ka's security ops interrupts and takes Tahiri into custody for interrgation purposes.
----------------
Jaina vs Jacen:
Jaina confronts Jacen, and he tells her that he is trying to save Tenel Ka and Allana from a nanovirus targeted to kill those of Hapan royal blood. Jaina doesn't beilieve him, and they get into a lightsaber fight. Jacen's last act before Jaina killed him was of him screaming at Tenel Ka through the Force, warning her that there was danger and to take Allana away.
-------------------
Tenel Ka and Allana really were in danger. What had happened was that Caedus captured Isolder, and the nanovirus that targets Hapans of royal blood was engineered from Isolder's DNA (similarly, Mirta Gev was also taken captive, and the aforementioned Fett virus was engineered from her DNA). However, the Moffs went ahead and used the Hapan nanovirus behind Caedus's back, and he had just found out this fact when Jaina confronted him.
After Jaina kills Jacen, she takes his body back to the Jedi base, with Jag running to meet her. She's pretty upset at this point, and she wonders if she made the right decision to kill Jacen. Doubts crept in, like "Why didn't I believe that Tenel Ka and Allana are in danger? I should have felt it through the twin bond", etc. The POV makes it clear that she wasn't stupid enough to try and redeem him, because he was too far gone, but that she should have let him explain himself.
Uh...say what?
You have got to be ****ing kidding me.

Seriously. We're ending it like this? Why do I feel a big let down? It just feels rushed and like a waste. It's hard to explain... Good grief. George Lucas this ain't.
(Oh wait. I've felt that way since Dark Nest... )

A nanovirus? We're back to Alpha Red and Krytos virus-plots?
No, really...

Double-posting, but check it out Vader fans! page 2 from the Dark Times 11/Vector 5 preview
Didn't know how much I'd been missing the big guy until now.
And Doug Wheatley is back!

I've missed him, too.
And yes, Traci... nanoviruses. Not just one, but two. And it looks like they're doing it to appease fanboys. Yes, fanboys. Don't like that we had all those Mandalores? We'll just Alpha Red them! Hapans and Tenel Ka on your nerves? We'll smoke bomb them, too!
Seriously, WT*? The stuff on Mandalore was interesting and different. God forbid we do something interesting. And different.
And what about Ben, where does he go from here? And look! Jaina can be the IWOD! Good for her. That's what women are for in the GFFA. What the hell was she thinking when she said she didn't need a man, she was going to just be a Jedi? Pfft. Forget that she killed her brother the Sith (apparently in two paragraphs... She should have talked to her uncle on how you at least try...), that's not what's important. She's got to make Imperial Jedi babies, that's her real legacy.
Where is this supposed to lead? I'll tell you. No where. That's where. Good god. Why couldn't we just let Luceno do this one book?
