Synopsis (Warned contains spoilers from Invincible, but beyond this no spoilers shall be mentioned):
Spoiler:
The Story Continues...
With the end of the brief but brutal reign of Darth Caedus comes a period of unexpected stability. Under the strong hand of former Imperial Admiral Daala, star systems set aside their differences in the hope of forging a lasting peace.
But for the Jedi, many of whom had once looked to Jacen Solo for inspiration, the transition has been anything but smooth, as Luke Skywalker strives to chart a new course for the Order, and groped for an understanding of what ultimately drove his nephew to embrace the dark teachings of the evil Sith Lords.
The road to reconciliation has been harder still for Han and Leia Solo, who have now lost both of their sons. Some measure of solace comes in the form of Allana, Jacen's Force sensitive daughter, whom the Solos have adopted at the request of the girl's mother, Queen Tenel Ka of Hapes. But Han, especially, craves the distraction of action, so he, Leia and Allana embark on an investigation into the origin of the Millennium Falcon, the charmed starship that has seen Han through so many years of adventure.
By all indications, their quest should be safe, innocent: something to keep them interested and busy. But as they piece together the clues of the past, hints of a more profound mystery begin to reveal themselves, and a faceless threat lies in wait--one that has already launched a tentative assault not only on the Jedi Order, but on the Force itself.

I think it's great, and if its in the same style as Tatooine Ghost, it'll be brilliant. What I have a problem with already is in the above synopsis it says "A threat lies in wait-- one that has already launched a tentative assault not only on the Jedi Order, but on the Force itself." - that's not in a spoiler so I mentioned it.
I long for more novels like Tatooine Ghost where there's no major threat, and just a nice interesting story.

I wonder if it will explain why the Falcon was in ROTS lol

Jim Luceno? Wasn't he the guy who wrote that dreadful clone wars book Jedi Trial?
Rive Caedo
No, he's actually written some of the better novels as of late.
Cloak of Deception
Darth Maul: Saboteur (eBook)
Labyrinth of Evil
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (The New Jedi Order)
Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse (The New Jedi Order)
The Unifying Force (The New Jedi Order)
Millennium Falcon
Jedi Trial was written by two authors.
I maintain that Jedi Trial wasn't a bad novel. It just wasn't a Star Wars novel. I wouldn't be surprised if the two authors simply wrote a novel for their "The StarFist Saga" science fiction series of novels and then changed all the names of the weapons and ships over to Star Wars names. And added the 1 or 2 Anakin scenes in the novel.

Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader

All good books that I've read by him

No way! He's the best Star Wars author ever, because he refers to so much existing EU, and in doing so, it's easy for him to remember how characters are meant to be, so there's no threat of him pulling a Traviss.
