Negative Positive
Title: Solid if not spectacular Star Wars novel
Review: Book 2 of the Corellian Trilogy finds our heroes Han, Leia and their brood trapped on the worlds of Corellia, Selonia and Drall, while Luke and Lando rush off to borrow a fleet from a little world known as Bakura. It was great to see the return of Bakura to the Star Wars universe after a decently long time of neglect. The scenes with Luke and Lando are enthralling while other scenes show some flashes of brilliance, but overall this book is simply better than average. It suffers through a sophmore slump, parts of the book are just uninteresting. The writing stays fine, but the especially the scenes with Han Solo and his allies prove to be a bit drawn out and difficult to read. That said, Assualt at Selonia is still better than any of the KJ Anderson books in the Star Wars universe. It builds up very well towards the conclusion Showdown at Centerpoint.
