STAR WARS: LEGACY OF THE FORCE — INVINCIBLE by Troy Denning — The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine’s. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus.

SHADOW COMMAND by Dale Brown — Gen. Patrick McLanahan’s new Aerospace Battle Force has grown into a full-fledged task force based on the Armstrong Space Station. Providing almost instant access to space and every corner of the globe, its powerful network of satellites and unmanned aircraft controlled from space can not only attack any target anywhere on the planet within hours, but can even invade any computer network as easily as making a phone call. But the program has its critics and doomsayers. Wealthy, Western-educated and sophisticated Russian President Leonid Zevitin uses a combination of top-secret anti-spacecraft weaponry, fearmongering and new U.S. President Joseph Gardner’s own egotism in an effective plan to eliminate all support for the program. Gardner and his allies in Congress and the Pentagon will stop at nothing — even destroying one of their own — to get what they want.

IN A DARK SEASON by Vicki Lane — In a North Carolina winter, new vistas appear through the bare trees. For Elizabeth Goodweather of Full Circle Farm, still a newcomer after more than 20 years, one terrible glimpse ignites a mystery that reaches back years into these hills, drawing together dozens of seemingly unconnected lives. Elizabeth sees a frail old woman on a high porch where dolls hang by twine. When the woman jumps, and Elizabeth reacts, there is no turning back. Nola Barrett’s ancient, sprawling house is spewing a dark past: of depravity, scandal and murder. Her land is at the center of multiple mysteries, ranging from a suspicious death to the brutal rape of a young woman to the legend of a handsome youth hanged for murder. But with Nola recovering from her self-inflicted wounds, Elizabeth has inherited her mad, violent drama — while a killer has a perfect view of it all.

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES by Monica Ferrell — Matthew Acciaccatura of Teaneck, N.J., begins his freshman year at NYU in the fall of 1995 with one goal in mind: to become cool. A former high school outcast used to lumbering the hallways alone in oversize turtlenecks, Matt seems an unlikely candidate for such a transformation. Yet by dint of effort, he lands the coveted position of promoter at one of the hottest clubs in New York in the heyday of rave music and Ecstasy. However, as “Magic” Matt rises to fame, portents of tragedy begin to appear, literally in the margins of the story. Footnotes from one Dr. Hans Mannheim, an imprisoned German academic obsessed with Matt’s dangerous trajectory, suggest that Matt is not as in control of his destiny as he might appear.
