Underworld Review


Underworld (The Last Of The Jedi #3)
by Jude Watson

Review By: Neil Richard

Rating: 3.5 out of 5



Slightly better than the previous titles in this series, Underworld is still just a kid’s book. Ferus and Trevor travel back to Couruscant to battle the Empire and even have a brief encounter with the big bad guy himself, Darth Vader. During their trip back to the city-planet, they meet up with the “Erased,” a group of insurgents that do their best to fight the Empire. Essentially the un-developed Rebel Alliance. They make several trips into the Jedi Temple, blow up stuff, and generally escape danger.

Ferus and Trevor are beginning to develop as characters, but the story is too short to make a large amount of change. Ferus is beginning to show more developed Force skills and Trevor, well, he just grows on you. Kind of that feisty street-kid we all take sides with.

As to the series, it looks like there will be yet another book coming. Vader has some competition with Malorum, who has Ferus left in a cell awaiting shipment to a prison planet and execution. Guess we’ll have to wait for Death On Naboo due in April.
