Synopsis:
When valuable prisoner Lune
Divinian disappears from his cell on Yavin 4, Luke is
determined to find him. As the only link to X-7, the
assassin sent to kill Luke, Div is the only hope to
staying a step ahead of the Empire.
Across the galaxy, X-7 has escaped from Imperial
custody. Caught between the past and the present, X-7
must fight the only battle for which he's not prepared:
the battle with his identity. But his desperate
confusion makes him more dangerous than ever.
A chance encounter and a figure from the past bring X-7,
Luke, and Div together for a final showdown that will
reveal everything, or destroy them all!

"The
penultimate volume of the Rebel Force series
seems to lack any of the original spark. The character of X-7 has
degraded into an emotionally inconsistent wreck, hunting for a past
that doesn't exist. The plot meanders around until we reach the
ending, which I found unsatisfying and overly protracted. I had
originally found X-7 to be a rather intriguing character, but I
reached a point in this book where I just didn't really care
anymore. This won't have been helped by my dislike of Lune Divinian
either, who spends much of his time convincing X-7 that he is Div's
long lost (but actually dead) brother. There just wasn't an
emotional link with this book for me.
"The ending, though was the worst part. Unnecessarily drawn out
death scenes (to avoid spoilers, I shan't mention who has been
killed) detract heavily from a story. Some may find them moving and
poignant, but I just find them unrealistic, particularly when you
consider the nature of the death (read it and find out).
"The series has slipped a lot. Hopefully it can raise itself up
to a decent enough finale."
