Synopsis:
It's been months since Luke's
life was threatened by Rezi Soresh. But that doesn't
mean he's safe.
Soresh is a patient man, and he's willing to wait for
the right moment. He has more reasons than ever: In the
wake of his last attempt to get rid of the Rebellion's
top pilot, Soresh was accused of being a traitor and
relieved of his command. Humiliated and alone, he's
retreated to a quiet corner of the galaxy, evading any
Imperial troops that would arrest him. And now, he has a
plan to strike back at every one of his enemies --
starting with Luke Skywalker.

"The
Rebel Force series concludes with Uprising,
which sees the original trilogy characters pursuing the man
responsible for sending X-7 against them: Imperial Commander Rezi
Soresh.
"This book does an admirable job of tying up many of the loose
ends from the previous books, as well as from previous series.
Several characters reach their respective resolutions, some of which
are satisfying, others bittersweet. The character of Ferus Olin was,
I felt, particularly nicely handled.
"The down-side, however, is that the series was unable to live
up to its earlier instalments. It started very strongly, then
dwindled due, in part, to the introduction of characters and
scenarios that I was rather unimpressed with, not least of which
being Lune Divinian. Whilst Uprising is not as poor an entry
as its immediate predecessors, it certainly isn't memorable, which,
regrettably, is something that could be said of the entire series.
Partly due to the chronological location of the storyline,
everything is self-contained and as such has little impact.
"Nowhere near as good as Jedi
Quest and lacking the overall appeal of other young reader
series (for example, Jedi
Apprentice), Rebel Force does not live
up to its potential."
