I really loved this when I "Read" it. However it had been months since I finished and since I needed a refresher by reading Amazon to even remember what happened, I have to make it loose a star. returnreturnI'm not really sure where the "Vortex" name comes from. However it appears to be of little importance. In this continue chapter of the Fate of the Jedi series, the adventures off world with Ben Skywalker and the Sith Girl Vestara actually become believable. The awkward teenage love story beings to see both of them struggling with "pretending" to like the other to suite their fathers. The Sith attack (big surprise) and Luke finds yet another secret group of force users that would have been helpful in the movies. returnreturnBack on Corresant, we see Airmouth really go in stride as the lawyer of the sword of the Jedi, he even had me convinced that he was incompetent. returnreturnAs always the Hann and Lei part is the bet with their humour and love still growing.returnreturnThe reporting of the slave revolt in the outer rim planets really had me tearing up at the time. Yet another reason to recommend the series on audio-book or dead tree
