During this savage civil war, all efforts to end Jacen Solo's tyranny of the Galactic Alliance have failed. Now, with Jacen approaching the height of his dark powers, no one - even the Solos and the Skywalkers - knows if anything can stop the Sith Lord before his plan to save the galaxy ends up destroying it.

Jacen Solo's shadow of influence has threatened many, especially those closest to him. Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous.

Meanwhile, Ben Skywalker, still haunted by suspicions that Jacen killed his mother, Mara, decides he must know the truth, even if it costs him his life. And as Luke Skywalker contemplates once unthinkable strategies to dethrone his nephew, the hour of reckoning for those on both sides draws near. The galaxy becomes a battlefield where all must face their true nature and darkest secrets, and live - or die - with the consequences.

Enjoyed this book, well written glad I purchased over the abridged audible version. Something the EU was always good at character development and enhancement. From the mandalorian, Ben Skywalker even to the challenging of Jedi ideology near the end also enjoyed hearing Jaina development and struggle with the thoughts how to kill her brother or if she could do it the right way, only to have these thoughts and jedi ideals challenged near the end.
Well written and well set up for the last book and the next series

Gripping penulitmate entry to the series

Revelation is book eight of Legacy of the Force and Karen Traviss rounds off her final contribution to the series in style. The pieces are brought into their final positions before the conclusion. We see Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus continue to spiral down the path he tried so hard to avoid, all the while trying to convince himself he is still on the right track and that everything can still come right. The war takes a startling turn as his allies within the Galactic Alliance leadership and military try to end his destructive quest for order.

Revelation delivers the frantic feel that a penultimate book needs to have going into the concluding chapter plus a great deal more. We see the Imperial Remnant come into the war in a big way. The plot begins with Jacen Solo trying to get an Galactic Alliance member state to commit its own fleet to the ongoing war in a situation a lot like the Wookiees assault fleet from Inferno. This time it is the Imperial Remnants fleet that is needed by Jacen. However the Imperial Remnant under the command of former Gallactic Alliance Defense Forces Supreme Commander Gilad Pelleon decides to go along with Jacens plan to attack the Confederations shipyard world of Fondor, if only to be in a position to make a grab for power if things go wrong. This along with Joint Chief of State Cha Niathals new alliance with the Jedi Order to remove Jacen from power set the scene for the explosive Battle of Fondor which sees major revelations for everyone involved. The battle is amazing and quite unique as it takes up a large chunk of the novel. While this is taking place we see Jaina Solo learn from Boba Fett and the Mandalorians the tips and tricks to bring her brother in or bring him down for the good of the galaxy. The book also has a great plot focusing on Ben Skywalker investigating his mothers death this is one of my favorite parts of the book full of heartbreaking scenes. Giving us an amazing depiction of young Ben Skywalker searching for the truth and doing things by the book. All this takes place at a great pace propelling us towards the finale with shocking revelations, events and an out of the blue appearance of a face from the past.

Karen Traviss does a very good job of telling a gripping story in its own right while obviously moving everything in place for the series conclusion. Which plays to Karen Traviss's strengths. In all honesty I believe her uncompromising and less clean cut approach to the series plot would have made her a bad choice to end the series. However in Revelation it is an essential quality in gearing up for the final book Invincible. As the saying goes "It is always darkest before the dawn". Highly recommended.

Typical penultimate book.

Not as strong as previous books in the series, simply because most of the book is setup for the finale. Having said that. The scenes with Ben meticulously investigation his mother's death and presenting the evidence dispassionately to his family, were wonderful.
