One of the worst of this series!
Would you try another book from Sean Williams and/or Jonathan Davis?
Yes
What could Sean Williams have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Make it part of the story line. Seems as part II was just filler to lead up to part III. Thoroughly disappointed. Almost felt deceived. Only continued to the end to see if it could possibly get better or have some relevance. It did not. Here's hoping Part III does not pick up where II left off.

Story doesn't fit into series
Weird book! In the midst of 20+ books, as part of the New Jedi Order series, this one has nothing to do with the enemy of the Jedi, the Yuzong Vong, and barely anything in common with any of the other 20+ books. Very random and out of character from the rest of the series, all of which I have given either 4 or 5 Stars.

Don’t buy abridged
I am running out of unabridged Star Wars books. So I figured I’d give an abridged version a try.... yeah that was a mistake. The worst part of abridged is trying to understand what is happening in the story. Which is the exact opposite of why I listen to the stories. I went from the first heretic story to this one and I can’t even figure out how the two stories are in the same series. It’s really jarring. I will never buy another abridged book again.
