Book Description
As the Yuuzhan Vong’s spectacular conquests continue unchecked, Luke Skywalker, Han and Leia Solo , and Wedge Antilles are forced to destroy what they have risked their lives to create. . . .
Scattering like rats before the Yuuzhan Vong’s invasion of Coruscant, the panic-stricken members of the New Republic Advisory’s Council pause just long enough to set up a mock defense on nearby Borleias—a transparent attempt to buy time that fools no one, least of all the Jedi.
Leia and Han Solo trek from world to world to foment rebellion against the New Republic’s disastrous appeasement policies. But Luke Skywalker has chosen the most dangerous assignment of all: to sneak into the Yuuzhan Vong’s stronghold on Coruscant. His outrageous scheme to gain entry is either brilliant or suicidal, depending on the outcome. And bearing down swiftly on Borleias is a Vong invasion fleet, determined to destroy the galaxy’s remaining defenders. . . .

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
"Rebel Dream", the 12th installment in, "The New Jedi Order Series", reveals little that is new, leaves unresolved the arguably largest issue of installment 11, and leaves some new tactics just shortly after they begin. The next installment is not due until June so it will be awhile before this story really proceeds. The status of the survivors from Coruscant are likely similar to those prior to the movie, "A New Hope". The ruling council on Coruscant is effectively gone, and once again a core of familiar faces is set to spread rebellion against the Vong much as they did against the original Empire Of Palpatine. The previous book had the image of Jaina on the cover. While this book does not, once again she is a very central player in this continuing war. After Anakin's death, and with conflicting beliefs regarding the status of Jaicen, Jaina has come back from the dark side, but she remains confused as she takes risks that only her father Han would ever have attempted. The location that once was the lair of the scientists that built the Empire's super weapons is now being put to use by The Insiders. For those readers that remember The Maw the first time around, the area and its dangerous approaches will be familiar and welcome. There is an interesting revelation about the Vong Warmaster that sheds light on how the progression to his position takes place. And the Vong are also beginning to demonstrate emotions that would normally be reserved for their enemies. Politics is not reserved only for the remnants of The Republic, and the council the Warmaster lends credence to will be a surprise to those who have followed this series. Again not a great deal of new material or resolution, but Aaron Allston is a veteran of the Star Wars Saga and he makes the work interesting even if a bit thin on new developments.
