A series of events leads to Kanan and Hera teaming up against the malicious Count, joined by a crazed Clone Wars veteran named Skelly and surveillance worker named Zaluna. Setting was all right - nothing to ring any bells about, in my opinion. Mining colony, problems, some interesting capital ships and a twist (no spoilers). Aboard the Ultimatum, Count Vidian expresses delight at the successful test bombing. Having received a report from the mining expert Lemuel Tharsa that 97% of the thorilide molecules in the test zone remained intact, he decides to proceed with his plan to destroy Cynda. Tharsa also claimed that Cynda would have enough thorilide for the next two thousand years. However, Sloane is skeptical of the report and suspicious of Lemuel. Vidian is also unperturbed that the test bombing had killed many mining personnel and justifies his decision to sacrifice their lives to maintaining the secrecy of his project. Count Vidian sees the Cynda gambit as an opportunity to outmaneuver his rival Baron Danthe and gain the Emperor's favor.

This is a prime example of how to do a Star Wars spinoff novel. Many fans give this distinction to Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, and while I wholeheartedly agree with them that it is a great book and a groundbreaking classic for the Star Wars franchise, A New Dawn had a much harder task. For those who didn't know, let me explain that this novel, A New Dawn, is the first official book printed by Lucasfilms now under the control of the Disney Emp...Er, I mean... Company.

Personally I would have loved to see a bigger scheme/plot and would have liked a bit more of star hopping, cause the novel mainly stays in one system and could have made more use of the vast Star Wars universe. THE BAD: Miller constantly shifts POVs between his characters, and it results in a sluggish pace for the first third of the book. While it was intended to build and build until the climax where they all come together, I can understand if it perturbs other readers.

Well this is was not only what I wanted to tell you guys, this post will focus on what you can expect in the new game, A new dawn. Wounded agents may now lose blood (and therefore hp) over time. First aid skill helps countering that. Characterization, once again (as was the case with Kenobi), was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the introduction of a new "master villain" during the time of Vader.

Following the death of Count Vidian, the Empire covered up the events in the Gorse system by claiming that Vidian had died from a relapse of Shilmer's syndrome. Meanwhile, Baron Danthe was granted oversight of the Gorse system and immediately commenced mining operations on Gorse's dayside using heat-resistant drones. Sloane reflected on her encounter with the "mysterious agent" of the Emperor known as Kanan and wondered whether he was a rival to Vidian, not realizing that he was a Jedi. Due to her efforts to stop Vidian, Sloane was made the commander of the Ultimatum and continued working for her new boss, Baron Danthe. Meanwhile, the blinded Zaluna started a new life on an agrarian world with the help of Hera and Kanan. After dropping off Zaluna, the two rebels decided to continue their adventures together aboard Hera's ship, the Ghost.

She is a Twi'lek woman. She is mysterious. You don't get to know much about her, even her surname is mentioned like one time in the book if I remember well! She is travelling doing surveillance of the Imperial actitivities and taking notes of any potential people to be part of a future rebellion. Again, I like her. Again, she is cool. And again she is not that original as a character since she is basically a Leia with "alien" looks. Armor protection and weight values have been increased. In addition to that, troops that use light armor get high agility and athletics values while heavily armored troops usually get very low values. This makes heavy troops much more resilient than before, but also much slower, especially compared to lighter soldiers. A buff puma.He is the language teacher at maplestone college.
