Once canon, now banished to “Star Wars Legends” non-canon territory. Features some interesting characters and plot points even though it’s missing the sense of grandeur and depth that I got from Dune.

It’s set a few years after the sixth movie when the still young new republic has to face the remnants of the broken but not quite defeated empire. Not really a self contained story. I will read the rest of the trilogy before judging this one too much.
