A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Yes, you read that right. This Star Wars novel breaks from the familiar action adventure formula of most Expanded Universe tales to focus on political corruption, trade wars, terror cells, and two familiar Jedi Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan mired in the whole mess. This setup book for Episode I a nice change of pa Originally published at Bookwraiths. This setup book for Episode I a nice change of pace that had a few problems but was still a very satisfying read. The Republic has a long history filled with glorious triumphs and dark defeats, but now it is mostly entangled in annoying futility. Top on the lists of festering problems is the Trade Federation. This conglomerates trade monopoly spreading its powerful tendrils across the galaxy, growing in size, power, and influence constantly. Their maltreatment of Outer Rim systems breeding hate and conflict resulting in a growing terror movement dubbed the Nebula Front, which is becoming more violent and more bold by the hour. But the Trade Federation and the terrorists are merely the public face to a growing internal problem which few perceive: the Republic is slowly dying. This ancient bastion of democracy and peace divided into opposing factions. Member worlds having different desires and visions of the future which cannot be reconciled. The Senate itself broken up into warring factions. The growing cancer Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends power broker like Senator Palpatine and his ilk to increase their standing, while traditionalist peace makers such as Valorum see themselves marginalized and demonized for attempting to find middle ground to hold everything together. Enter Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Immediately, the two become embroiled in a huge plot which stretches from the Outer Rim Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends the halls of power in the Senate itself, familiar faces like Supreme Chancellor Valorum, Senator Palpatine, Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu, even Queen Amidala making appearances throughout. With Cloak of DeceptionJames Luceno has the unenviable task of explaining exactly what the hell led up to the beginning of Episode I while telling an exciting story where most readers will already knows who the main villains are and what their goals are, but somehow, someway, he actually accomplishes his task, creating an entertaining political thriller with enough space battles and lightsaber fights to lighten up all the serious themes. My favorite element of the book was actually the political nonsense of the Republic Senate. Now, I am left to wonder what else Palpatine set into motion. Once far-fetched fan conspiracy theories now do not seem too ridiculous considering how Palpatine played everyone in the Republic. I was really hoping to learn more about our two Jedi, especially the stoic Qui-Gon, but the two stayed fairly static, showing absolutely no growth during this story arc. The same can be said of Captain Cohl who begins this novel with a bang only to disappear having little to no role in events by the end. As for the Nebula Front, it never develops past the point of being another shadowy terrorist group needing to be dismantled. Overall, I enjoyed Cloak of Deceptionaccepting and embracing the political thrilled as a different kind of Star Wars story. There are certainly slow section, pages of political scheming and shadowy maneuvering that many people might find boring. On the other hand, these section were very realistic to me, eerily familiar to the state of U. Jul 15, Crystal Starr Light rated it liked it Shelves: so-boring-it-s- boringstar-wars. The Trade Federation monopolizes trade to outer systems, a situation the Nebula Front doesn't like. He makes references to characters like Tarkin yay! Luceno is a master and does it very well. This novel is unique as it is one of the few in EU that is more of a political thriller than a typical adventure. This was a good move, as this era was filled with political tension. I loved seeing Valorum's fall from grace, seeing Bail Antilles, and learning how great a chessplayer Palpatine is who is such a two-face! To have a typical Star Wars adventure would feel out of place Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends this era and not answer half the questions this book does. Luceno wasn't afraid to pull the plug on some of his characters, which was very poignant, very tearful. I won't say who, as it might be a spoiler, but when the characters die, it really Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends at my heart-strings. I Didn't Like: I felt very sad listening to this because I had remembered the book being better than what I heard. Luceno tends to write in a very "heavy" manner. For instance, the first action scene, with the Trade Federation craft over Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends, was bogged down in over-describing. Luceno felt the need to describe the spacecraft, the Neimoidian captain Daultay DofineArwen Cohl, and on, and on, and on. In fact, in nearly every scene, he stops to describe the characters. Now, for new characters, like Cohl and Rella, this isn't too bad. Star Wars fans will know what the characters look like and you don't need to describe them unless you say something like "Yoda's ear twitched at Qui-Gon's words" or some other incidental descriptions. This is even more unnecessary for aliens. I don't want or need a description of the Neimoidians, Rodians, and everything in between. And having the descriptions in the middle of an otherwise intense scene Cloak of Deception: Star Wars Legends it boring, loses the pace. In fact, this is the only audiobook that I grew bored with and had to set aside for a time, just for this reason. Secondly, I love seeing recurring characters, but Luceno name-drops one too many times. Palpatine, Valorum, and Antilles are okay, but it's the Jedi I had a problem with. Couldn't Luceno have made three of his own Jedi, Masters if he wanted, so it wasn't so odd why three Council members left the capital to go on a relatively unimportant mission? None of the characters come off as very colorful. And it's sad, because I was so excited to read from Qui-Gon this is probably the only non- novelization novel that stars himbut he could have been any character with the way that Luceno wrote him. I have got to put this in here, but why did Luceno name Cohl "Arwen"? This might have been Luceno trying to make sense of George Lucas' story in The Phantom Menace, but still, was there no way to make it a little more Rella and Cohl are lovers. Orn Free Taa is fond of lithe Twi'Lek females. Cohl attacks a Trade Federation craft and steals aurodium ingots. There are lightsaber battles, Valorum is injured in an attack on his life, on Eriadu, there is a plot to kill Valorum and the Trade Federation delegations.
