I read this trilogy when it came out and remember liking it quite a lot. My view was that it was a great book, but only a good Star Wars book, in that some of the characterisations felt a bit off, but the political intrigue more than made up for it. It really influenced how I wrote my fan stories at least. ;) I always thought the Yevetha was a much smaller force, like Australia or Israel and those Imperials they mustered up were just some prisoners they dressed to sell the ruse. The new characters worked the best for me and I really liked the bigger world Kube-McDowell created, with the scenes like them finding the Gnisnal, Ackbar on the running track with alternate personality Drayson (he was a joke in Zahn's books!), the K-wing bombers and the Fifth Fleet personnel, and poor Plat Mallar the unsung hero. I really enjoyed that it was the Republic's first time in literature against an enemy that isn't so familiar and can't be handled business as usual. Very nice review!
