Help in the Entertainment Era: BETRAYAL by Aaron Alliston

"The thrilling launch of an epic new STAR WARS series, featuring the heroes of the New Jedi Order!"

That's right friends! A brand new Star Wars series, The Legacy of the Force, is kicked off in this New York Times bestseller BETRAYAL. Set about 40 years after RETURN OF THE JEDI, Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade, have a thirteen-year-old son and have trained a brand new generation of Jedi Knights in the galaxy. Han andLeia Solo are still doing their service to the New Rebublic, along with their jedi children, Jacen and Jaina. When Corellia, Han's home planet, decides it wants nothing more to do with the Galactic Alliance, It's up to our heroes to restore peace. But to make matters worse, the rebellion of Corellia is led by Thracken Sal-Solo, Han's sinister cousin. the Skywalker and Solo families find themselves on opposite sides, divided by loyalty and blood ties, with a very fine line as to who's right and who's wrong.

While his family struggles with aggressive negotiations, Jacen Solo meets a woman with strange powers and ideas on a sith world. Is the the Jedi Order of his uncle right? Or will Luke's mysterious visions of a new dark Sith come true...

BETRAYAL met my high expectations! While I only covered a very little bit of ground here, more heroes of the original STAR WARS trilogy, like Wedge are involved, along with many characters from previous books, which makes it especially fun to read. I would recommend it to any Sci-Fi lover! There are two cases of very mild language and of course, a little lightsaber violence. But all in all, this book is a must for people who have a few other STAR WARS books under their belt, while I'd stick with a PG for first timers (who won't get it, you guys will need to read some prequels first!) and younger children.
