Survivor's Quest 5 csillagozás
Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple – and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. But all that will change when they're united on an unexpected mission – and must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy . . . and salvage a part of Jedi history.
It begins with a message from a surprising source: Nirauan, the planet where Thrawn, dangerous disciple of Emperor Palpatine, once held sway . . . and from which Luke and Mara barely escaped with their lives. The message itself is shocking. After fifty years, the remains of Outbound Flight – a pioneering Jedi expedition viciously destroyed by Thrawn – have been found on Nirauan. Now, the fiercely honor-bound aliens who reside there wish to turn over the remnants of the… (tovább)

Palpatine had been hateful, vicious, and destructive, especially toward the hundreds of alien species under his domination. But she had to admit that, at least on a purely practical level, the efficiency and order of his Empire had been a vast improvement over the bloated bureaucracy and bribe-driven operation of the Old Republic that had preceded it.
What would that Empire have been like, she couldn’t help wondering, if people like Parck and Fel had been in command instead of Palpatine? What could that efficiency and order have accomplished, for that matter, in the hands of someone like Thrawn, himself a nonhuman?

“What then is the plan?” Drask asked as the car began its slightly tentative rise toward D-5.
Fel braced himself. This went against everything he’d been taught, and was going to be embarrassing besides. But he’d already concluded it was the only way. “The plan, General Drask,” he said quietly, “is that I’m requesting you to take command of the Five-Oh-First for the duration of this battle.”
It was, he reflected, possibly the most surprised he’d ever seen Drask get. “You are asking … command?”
“As you yourself pointed out, you’re a ground officer,” Fel reminded him evenly. “I’m a flight officer. This is your area of expertise, not mine.”
“Yet they are your command,” Drask said. “Do you so easily surrender them to another?”
“Not easily at all,” Fel admitted. “But it would be the height of arrogance and pride to risk their lives, not to mention the lives of our companions, by insisting on amateur leadership when a professional is standing by. Don’t you agree?”
For a moment Drask just gazed at him, his glowing red eyes narrowed. Then, to Fel’s surprise, the general actually smiled. The first genuine smile, to the best of Fel’s recollection, that any of the Chiss had given any of the Imperials since their arrival aboard the Chaf Envoy. “Well and artfully spoken, Commander Fel,” Drask said. “I hereby accept command of this unit.”
“Come on, you’re the Jedi Master. Think of something.”
“Maybe we don’t actually have to destroy it,” Luke said. “All we really want to do is to get onto the command deck and take control of the ship.”
“And, what, we just persuade the droideka to turn its head for a minute?”
Luke smiled tightly. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “I think we can do exactly that.”
Chapter 25
With an effort, Fel controlled his temper. Drask had been nothing but a blue-skinned lump of impatience and disapproval since he’d left Luke and Mara and linked up with the Imperials. Maybe, he thought unkindly, that was why the two Jedi had been so eager to go down to D-1 and foist him off on the Imperials.
