The Deceived was 255 pages long, plus bonus content. Im assuming the fatal alliance was about the same.

Fatal Alliance was 417 pages actually not counting the exert for some other SW book at the back.

While not strictly a book I picked up issue 1 of The Old Republic: The Lost Suns.Light spoiler to follow.

The story is rather interesting and seems to have a few different plot threads. One following Satele Shan undergoing an attack on the Sith to retake a planet from one of their Dark Lords. She looks to be a prominent member of the Sith and while not Dark Council material she might be of the equivalent of Darth Malus.

Loosly tied to this subplot is the main chracter Satele's son Theron who is working for a spy network trying to gain Intel on the Sith in the post treaty universe. A lead they get is about one of Satele's former masters who is among the best warriors the Jedi has and may have new information on what the Sith are up to and is also being perused by the Sith.

The writing and art is decent, about the same quality as Threat of Peace and Blood of the Empire. As an added bonus is that unlike the other two stories this one happens along side where our own stories would be transpiring.

However besides the connections the story is ho hum. We've all heard the tale of the wise old vet stuck behind enemy lines and the new young buck is sent in to rescue and bring him back. All in all though I can recommend it to Star Wars and TOR fans and 3.50 ain't a bad price compared to what Marvel charges.
