That's the end. Pretty short book. It is somewhat fascinating how the whole Vader encounter is basically fan fiction. The fact that it was written prior to TESB's revelations affects it greatly. I'm not sure I've ever read a thing in the EU that has aged quite as poorly as that. Still, it's an interesting snapshot into the past.
All in all, the book was meh. I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out to be.

This is the worst-written Darth Vader I've ever read. It sounds nothing like him. I know he only had one movie to go on, but it doesn't even match that very well!
Funny to imagine Vader coming across C3PO and R2-D2 alone. Obviously this was WAY before that connection was ever made, but still.
