Rebel Force

Voici les romans déjà parus de cette série :

1) Target
The Death Star has been destroyed. But back at the Rebel base, the celebration is over. The Alliance has intercepted a coded transmission, indicating that the Empire is determined to discover which pilot was responsible for the destruction of the Death Star. New security protocol is in effect: The details of the Death Star mission are now top secret, and no one is to know that Luke fired the decisive shot.

But that's hardly the Alliance's only problem. Almost all their finances were lost with the destruction of Alderaan -- and they are out of money. Their last hope is to access the secret accounts on Muunilinst, the former home of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the financial heart of the galaxy. So Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids head for Muunilinst.

The Empire's top assassin will be waiting for them.

2) Hostage
The deadly assassin contracted by the Empire, X-7, is closer than ever to discovering the identity of his target. He's already infiltrated the top levels of the Rebel Alliance and gained Leia's trust. But he still hasn't been able to get Leia to give up the classified information he needs.

After all, Leia Organa is unbreakable: the youngest, toughest member of the Galactic Senate, and after its dissolution, the fiercest opponent of the Empire. She's survived kidnapping and torture under Darth Vader, but she's never had to do anything more difficult than her latest mission. She is going home.

And X-7 knows it will be the perfect opportunity to break her.

3) Renegade
Deadly assassin X-7 has infiltrated the Rebel Alliance. Trained by ruthless Commander Rezi Soresh, X-7 is the best there is: he feels nothing and sees everything. Now, he's gunning for the ultimate prize: Luke Skywalker, the pilot that destroyed the Death Star. The seemingly clueless kid from Tatooine proves more resourceful and difficult to eliminate than X-7 could ever have imagined. Surrounded by friends and allies, and with a connection to the Force that grows stronger every day, Luke seems all but impervious to the usual tactics.

But X-7 isn't done with him yet. This time, he knows how to bring Luke down. He'll shatter the trust that holds the Rebel Alliance together -- and manufacture the ultimate betrayal.

4) Firefight
Deadly assassin X-7 has never failed to complete a mission -- until now. Unmasked and unarmed, he narrowly escapes from the Rebels with his life and little else. His cover may be blown, but he's not returning to Commander Rezi Soresh until his target has been eliminated. This time, he has a new plan. He'll gather six of the best pilots in the galaxy -- all of them roguish mercenaries who care only about money -- and turn them loose on Red Squadron.

He counts on his pilots' mercenary instincts to keep them in line. But one of them has a secret that could cost X-7 his victory.

5) Trapped
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!

Du coup, ça fait 3 séries qui s'enchaînent (avec plus ou moins de rapport) : Jedi Quest, Last of the Jedi et Rebel Force.

Faudra ptêt que je me mette à celle-là aussi.

D'accord, on peut dire que le lien entre ces séries est Ferus Olin, mais bon, dans Rebel Force, c'est plus une guest star qu'un perso récurent.

A la fin de The Last Of The Jedi, on pensait qu'il allait

Spoiler:

Sinon, les histoires sont tout de même bien plus simple que les 2 autres séries que tu nommes.
C'est assez linéaires.

Concernant X-7, il est évident que ce perso va évoluer mais va t'il reste Méchant ???

Par contre on retrouve nos Luke , Leia, Han et sa carpette ambulante dans leur période naïve. Du coup, on a pas mal de joutes verbales entre Leia et Han, (peut-être trop ?)

Youhou !!! Voilà une excellente nouvelle pour nous-savons-qui ! Par contre, elle est moins bonne pour la linéarité de la série...

Une petite interview de Randy Martinez.

Fini le tome 4 : Firefight
Et comme pour les précédents, on a notre lot de caméos avec :
- K-3PO (que l'on voit dans la base Echo),
- et le commandant Narra (que Luke remplacera à la tête de l'escadron Rouge).

Le personnage qui revient de loin (de Last of the Jedi) et qui passe un moment avec Luke et Compagnie est Lune Divinian.
Voui voui, il a bien grandi et est apparemment devenu une sorte de mercenaire afin d'oublier son passé.
Il a été engagé avec d'autres pilotes par X-7 pour éliminer Luke lors d'un combat aérien au dessus de Kamino.
Heureusement, à la fin, il aide nos héros à se sortir vivant d'un guépier sur Kamino (ah oui car tout ce beau monde s'est crashé sur la planète) et devient tout de même prisonnier des rebelles.
Voilà

La suite au prochain numéro, à savoir Trapped

Annonce du tome 6 : Uprising

Here's a first look at the sixth and final installment of the Rebel Force series from Scholastic, Inc. Uprising is written by Alex Wheeler. Here's a quick 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.
Uprising is due out in May of 2010.

Ah là là, ce Luke n'arrête pas de ce faire des ennemis.
Comment il a pu survivre si longtemps

Ca me fait penser que le tome 5 doit être dispo maintenant.

Pas très moral, en effet. Surtout pour un roman jeunesse . Entre ça et TCW on est partis pour avoir une de ces générations... bref ! ^^ Cela dit, en quoi est-ce bien différent de ce qu'ont fait les Jedi à Revan ?
