![]() ![]() I know, I know but bear with me here because he is far from anything like C3PO. Den Dhur is a down on his luck, blacklisted reporter who is helping his buddy, I5-YQ (I5) track down the aforementioned Jedi. It’s a good thing that Reeves doesn’t take too long to introduce Den Dhur and 15-YQ who, in my opinion, need to ditch Jax and get their own damn series. Jax lacks any really interesting qualities as a character and it more or less cookie-cutter jedi-on-the-run #1. Instead we mostly see him on the run and complaining about his suddenly tenuous connection with the Force. I suppose it could just be a bit of misleading text on the back blurb but never do we see Jax doing any real investigating private or otherwise. Unfortunately, Jax is where this novel starts to have its problems since he is technically a bounty hunter not a private investigator. Our main character, according to the back of the book, is a Jedi turned Private Investigator named Jax Pavan who receives a message from his dying master leaving Jax to compleete an important mission. The first thing to note is that book takes place in the period immediately following Revenge of the Sith with most of the Jedi Order hunted and killed while those left alive are on the run. ![]() A fact that, when combined with glossy purple Star Wars logo, had me nerding out pretty hardcore. ![]() I admit that I bought this book because of its cover: its sepia tones and dark inks ooze noir. ![]()
