The official Fury summary is up at Del Rey's site. The summary and my comments are behind the cut.
Here's the summary...
Fighting alongside the Corellian rebels, Han and Leia are locked in a war against their son Jacen, who grows more powerful and more dangerous with each passing day. Nothing can stop Jacen’s determination to bring peace with a glorious Galactic Alliance victory-whatever the price.
While Luke grieves the loss of his beloved wife and deals with his guilt over killing the wrong person in retaliation, Jaina, Jag, and Zekk hunt for the real assassin, unaware that the culprit commands Sith powers that can cloud their minds and misdirect their attacks-and even turn them back on themselves.
As Luke and Ben Skywalker struggle to find their place among the chaos, Jacen, shunned by friends and family, launches an invasion to rescue the only person still loyal to him. But with the battle raging on, and the galaxy growing more turbulent and riotous, there’s no question that it is Jacen who is most wanted: dead or alive.
*sigh*
I have no problem with Luke grieving over Mara. He should be grieving for his wife, but damn, how long is he going to be emo over killing Lumiya. Although she didn't pull the trigger so to speak, she shares responsibility for Mara's death since she is the one that helped Darth Wannabe to turn to the Dark Side. So, stop with the guilt, k thks.
So, Jacen is going to do the Sith version of a Jedi Mind Trick on Jaina and her merry band of boyfriends. *head desk*
"Luke and Ben Skywalker struggle to find their place among the chaos, Jacen, shunned by friends and family, launches an invasion to rescue the only person still loyal to him." WTF? He is being "shunned by friends and family" because he's a freakin' nutcase who killed, attempted to kill and has tortured various and sundry members of his family. If the only person still loyal to him refers to Allana, she's a child and doesn't know any better!
Can't wait for November 27! (/sarcasm)
