It’s sort of nice to have all the boring main characters condensed into a single wish fulfillment narrative while the Vong go about the wet gooey business of murdering scientists, so at least this is a satisfying couple of chapters!  Also we find out what kind of couch there was in the TIE Advance.

Uhhh, I guess the Vong continue to get real?  Even though our main character gang has changed planets, it still feels like they’re in prep mode instead of getting on with it, but at least we get to learn about even more of Yomin Carr’s gross menagerie of single-purpose pain tools.

The Vong plot gets real as their first ships enter the regular type galaxy and go all octopus ham on an ice planet.  Meanwhile Anakin and Jacen have some serious discussions while Chewie gets pretty slapstick with a senator.

The curtain drops. What has changed?  What threats face us at the end of all chapters?  What hath Hambly wrought?  Does this book have the most hilariously unearned coincidence at the end of it at all time?  (yes)
