About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The Jedi have struck a blow against tyranny. Can they strike down ultimate evil?
 
Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.
 
Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest threatens to become a suicide mission.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Ratings and reviews

Read the novel and find out for yourself. Ben learns a lot after the experiences that Jacen has put him through, and so has Tahiri. She takes responsibility for her actions and now, he gets to prove himself to be a Jedi in his own right, without standing under His father, Luke Skywalkers' shadow...Read outcast first the you will understand.

Actually, I loved all of the books in this series. Without giving too much away, this is a fantastic story, allowing you to learn the saga of Grand Master Skywalker and his son, and to learn about what Leia and Han have been up to all of these years. I missed reading the series before this, and unfortunately I've skipped around them. Now I MUST catch up on them all!

Story was slow going with more courtroom/detective-type drama. Probably necessary to the overall story, just slow.
