The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo’s shocking
transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has
cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for
good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable
and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke
Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief
of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to
undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic
Alliance.
Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a
desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall
to the dark side–and to learn what’s turning peaceful Jedi
into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean
venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift
and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy
outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other
choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on
Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same
violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi
Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her
capture by Natasi Daala’s police. And when Han and Leia
Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly
destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner
appears willing to bow to Daala’s iron will–at the expense
of the Jedi Order.
But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the
past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech
planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the
generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark
side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching
when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the
stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the
galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name
whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.
