This is the era of Luke Skywalker's legacy: the Jedi Master
has unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi
Knights. But as the new era begins, planetary interests
threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace, and Luke is
plagued with visions of an approaching darkness. Evil is
rising again--out of the best intentions--and it looks as if
the legacy of the Skywalkers may come full circle. Honor and
duty will collide with friendship and blood ties as the
Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides
of an explosive conflict with potentially devastating
repercussions for both families, for the Jedi order, and for
the entire galaxy. When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the
planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush--from which Jedi
Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé and cousin, Ben
Skywalker,
narrowly escape with their lives--it's the most alarming
evidence yet that sparks of political unrest are threatening
to ignite into total rebellion. The governments of numerous
worlds are chafing under the strict regulations of the
Galactic Alliance, and diplomatic efforts to enforce
compliance are failing. Fearing the worst, the Alliance
readies a preemptive display of military might in a bid to
bring the rogue worlds in line before an uprising erupts.
The designated target of this exercise: planet
Corellia--renowned for the brash independence and renegade
spirit that have made its favorite son, Han Solo, a legend. Something of a rogue himself, Jacen is nevertheless duty
bound as a Jedi to stand with his uncle, Jedi Master Luke
Skywalker, on the side of the Galactic Alliance. But when
the wary Corellians launch a counterstrike, the Alliance's
show of force--and a secret mission to disable Corellia's
crucial Centerpoint Station--give way to an armed skirmish.
Once the smoke clears, the battle lines are drawn. Now the
specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of
defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is
becoming a new Empire. And even as both sides struggle to
find a diplomatic solution, mysterious acts of treachery and
sabotage threaten peace efforts at every turn. Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen
follows a trail of cryptic clues to a dark rendezvous with
the most shocking of revelations . . . while Luke grapples
with something even more troubling: dream visions of a
shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him
of Darth Vader--a lethal enemy who strikes like a dark
spirit on a mission of doom. An agent of evil who, if Luke's
visions come to pass, will bring untold pain to the Jedi
Master . . . and to the entire galaxy.
