Star Wars: Legacy of the Force - Maelstrom (LOTF Book 9 Alternate Book)

To many Star Wars Expanded Universe fans, Troy Dennings book Invincible (the last book in the Legacy of the Force series) fell flat. I think it was one of his worst books(though he has written several other brilliant books). However, some people might say "Like you think you could do better." This book is my reply. The problem with Invincible is that it operates off the incorrect premise that the rest of the series was great - which it was not, even though the book before was great (Revalation by Karen Traviss). A series is unfortunately remembered most by the last book and Invincible fell clearly short. The book needed a kick, the Expanded Universe was in jeopardy. What happened if the book had not been the end of a series, but the beginning of a new era, something for Star Wars fans to look forward to? What if it had introduced a new character lurking in the shadows ready to take the fight to the Jedi? What if the last book had not merely been a flat, one-sided account of the restless chase to eliminate Darth Caedus, but instead a rocking and rolling thrill ride to the finish, leaving the reader breathless and eagerly anticipating more, more of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. This is my attempt to accomplish that.
