Why not?
Also, I really liked Joruus C'baoth ... the version of the Clone Wars alluded to in the Thrawn trilogy sounds pretty neato.

Kevin J Anderson is nothing but bad fan fan fiction.
50% of the ideas in the book are cool and worthy of being written about. The Maw. Kyp Durron. Admiral Dala. The Yavin 4 Academy. the ancient sith lord. the history of Yavin 4.
But it's done in such a bad way.....that you could probably condense it all in one and a half books if you cut out alot of fat. and where Zahn masterfully reminded us that this takes place in the movie verse by referencing movie events once every 10 chapters or so..... KJA does it LITERALLY every four parahraphs. Sometimes the same lines twice ('never tell me the odds').
Lots of cool ideas, mixed in with really bad writing.
