Scourge is sort of a unique Star Wars book, it contains basically no characters from any of the movies. However, unlike most Star Wars books, it is kind of a mystery, trying to figure out who the actual villain is. It has some really fun action scenes and some unique characters. It really doesn't feel like most tie in novels, mostly because it just expands the overall universe.
The main character is something that you don't see very often in Star Wars, a Jedi lacking in self-confidence. Then when he is thrown together with other characters, some of whom are from stereotypes not often portrayed as protagonists, they really mesh and it makes for a good story.
The only downside is that it is very short. It really doesn't take long to finish. While I cannot point to any specific part of the book that I wish was fleshed out, it just seemed like it could have taken up a little more shelf space. It was like those amusement park rides that are fun but over far too soon.
Overall, I would give this book a
79%.
