Query: This book is really SICK!

This plot was much too weird for a Star Wars story. It was an interesting twist having an alliance between the newly forming Republic and the Empire, but the alien lizard people really spoiled what could otherwise have been a good story. The part about Dev was absolutely pathetic. If you're really interested in good character development - good and evil alike, stick to Zahn's books.
