Kevin Anderson opens his Jedi Academy Trilogy with Jedi Search, set seven years after the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi and two years after the the events of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. Many classic Star Wars Trilogy characters have returned, including Luke Skywalker (who is seeking to open a new academy for training a new generation of Jedi Knights) as well as Han and Leia Organa-Solo, Chewbacca and droids C-3PO and R2-D2. And we are also introduced to a new villain in Admiral Daala. Anderson manages to recreate the spirit of the classic Star Wars film trilogy in his books, which are nearly as good as Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. I recommend Jedi Search, as well its successors Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force for anyone who enjoys the Star Wars films, or enjoys reading good science fiction in general.
