출판사 설명
In the heart of crime-ridden Hutt Space, a Jedi Scholar searches for justice.
While trying to obtain the coordinates of a secretive, peril-packed, but potentially beneficial trade route, a novice Jedi is killed—and the motive for his murder remains shrouded in mystery. Now his former Master, Jedi archivist Mander Zuma, wants answers, even as he fights to erase doubts about his own abilities as a Jedi. What Mander gets is immersion into the perilous underworld of the Hutts as he struggles to stay one step ahead in a game of smugglers, killers, and crime lords bent on total control.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Interesting
Interesting star wars book. I recommend it.
Spicing up Star Wars!
If you have gotten tired of the wash rinse and repeat cycle of some of the Star Wars novels, this novel will wake you up. This is Jeff Grubbs first Star Wars novel and you would swear he's been doing it forever. This novel is inspired by an adventure that Grubb wrote for the Star Wars RPG, it worked as an adventure, and It works even better as a book. Grubb takes us to places in the Star Wars universe that we have often heard of, but never gotten to visit; Hutt space is a complex place! The action is well paced and well executed. This book will help you fall back in love with the Star Wars universe, if you have started to feel like the thrill has gone. This book works even if you are not a Star Wars fan. There are a few twists and turns that while not a complete surprise, play out well. Bottom line, if you like Star Wars you'll love this book, if you like Sci-fi give it a try.
Bad buy, don’t recommend
Honestly, I picked this one up on a whim. Hadn’t heard of it or anything about it, but I love the Expanded Universe books so I bought it.
Worst $14.99 (if I’m remembering correctly) spent on a Star Wars e-book. The pace is lackluster. The writing is basic at best. The characters are bland and the villain is one-note. It also makes use of… odd plot choices- like the way the antagonist’s father is killed. The antagonist himself is another odd choice. A Force-sensitive Hutt? The plot is actually semi-decent despite these issues. If it had been written by someone else, it might have been more intriguing.
