Legacy of the Force : Tempest

I've got my hands on Tempest. The 3rd book on the Legacy of the Force series. I bought it from the friendly bookstore that I frequent to, to get my dose of Star Wars lore and got a $2 discount for my effort. Not bad ehh. Looking at the drammatis personnae, I can't feel but wonder why Ben is now tagged junior GAG (Galactic Alliance Guard) member and not a Jedi padawan. And I am still reeling with shock that Jagged Fel is now a BOUNTY HUNTER! I have this feeling that this book will be fun read. Review coming up when I finished the book. Honest.
