 | | I particularly liked the Zahn/Stackpole novella "Interlude at Darkknell." It was a real treat to see Hal Horn in something other than his son's memories, to find out what propelled Garm Bel-Iblis into the Rebellion, and to see Ysanne Isard less than perfect, as she began her rise to power. |
 | | There's the character missing his eye, Bel Iblis' family being blown to bits, Mara Jade in the slime, aquatic melks (sharks) eating corpses, etc etc etc. |
 | | Moreover, there was an element of predictability to these stories as well, evidenced in "No Disintegrations, Please" and in the story "Conflict of Interest." As a result, in my opinion, the inclusion of these stories weighed the rest of the volume down. |
