At the time I first read the Black Fleet Crisis I honestly did not enjoy it much.  It wasn't very well connected to other books and it just didn't seem to fit.  Now, however, it fits perfectly.  More books came along that made this series relevant and really a joy to read.  So, if you get to this series and don't really understand what is going on, just remember what you have read and it will be worth it.

 

Luke searches for clues about his mother with only the Force to guide him and in the process learns how to use a different form of the Force called the Flow.  These new abilities become essential in helping Han and Lando solve a mystery and save their lives and also are used to save the New Republic in a space battle on the Fleet scale.
