With the advent of Disney into the Star Wars space, the content, quality and value of the new cannon has dropped significantly. The only shining beacon of quality to be found resides in Timothy Zahn's contributions to this universe. Once again an almost continuous read ensued upon purchase, something that cannot be said about similar SW productions of late (The Alphabet series coming to mind). Having first been re-introduced to the SW universe by Timothy Zahn approximately 3 decades ago, he still manages to enthrall and engage me in his visions and literary intrigues. Buy it, buy all of his previous books too while you are at it!
