There are so many "last Jedi" now that the Purge has become something of a joke.
I liked the "Coruscant Nights" trilogy, so the Jax one sounds like it could be good; but I agree about the last* Jedi status.
Dawn of the Jedi? Sure, why not. Everything else is "[something] of the Jedi" anyway.
All the Jedi children will accuse the adults of being Sith witches, but Master Proc Jon-Tor will stand his ground and not confess? All while Republic senator Macarr Jothii fans the fires of mistrust ("There are red sabers all throughout this government" ) of a Sith Scare? :p Denning's usually a solid writer.
The Purge has been overused as a basic story element in the last few years, IMO. There are/could be interesting stories to tell from this time period, cause all of the Jedi weren't killed off. Just need a break from it.Quote:

Not with those exact characters, but read the (ironically-titled, based on these recent posts) comic one-shot Purge for that very same idea. I know it got included in some trade paperback, too, but I can't recall that one now.Quote:

Then that sounds like a perfect story for a continued SW Infinities series.
That's what fan fiction is for.Quote:

I finished the "epilogue" chapter titled "Pandemonium" yesterday. I give the collection a so-so rating. Just not enough connections to established SW lore, even being 4000 years BBY. It's clear that JJ Miller wrote comic stories, as this one needed visuals to make up for a dull storyline.Quote:

Pretty good, and a fast read for a textbook-style book. Nice paintings throughout, from several artists.
