Conviction by Aaron Allston

This book brings both Natasi Daala's reign as Chief of State and Tahiri Veila's trial to their closes. Luke, Ben, and Vestara track Abeloth to a strange planet with an insidious kind of insect/parasite and a twisted relation to the force that you may remember from Planet of Twilight. There's some pretty good MacGyver-type solutions to seemingly insurmountable obstacles, which on the one hand marks most Star Wars fiction, but on the other, it's much more fun to read about characters who aren't entirely in control. I'm particularly interested to see what happens to Tahiri, Ben, and Vestara after this outing.
