Traitor by Matthew Stover

This book focuses entirely on Jacen Solo, who, contrary to his twin sister Jaina's intuitions, has not yet been killed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Instead he's a captive of the Vong and Vergere--and they seem to be working at cross purposes. In this book Jacen spends a lot of time thinking about the nature of the Force and the nature of the threat the Yuuzhan Vong pose to the galaxy. I really enjoyed these parts. During the last third, Ganner Rhysode appears in an amusing but ultimately somewhat out-of-place manner. Despite the lack of all movie characters, I thought this entry was a refreshing relief to space battle after space battle.
