Publisher Description

In a stunning turn of events, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, joined forces with members of the Sith armada sent to kill them - and turned their combined might against the monstrous being Abeloth. But with Abeloth gone, the Sith reverted to form, making a treacherous attempt on Luke's life.

Luke and Ben have no time for retaliation. A new and even more insidious threat is rising. Unless the Skywalkers survive to sound the alarm, the galaxy will suffer as it has never suffered before. But the reinforcements they need remain grounded on Coruscant, where the political battle of wills between the Jedi Council and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala has reached a boiling point.

Now Luke and Ben must go on the run, taking along the inscrutable - and dangerous - Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. With a host of Sith warriors in hot pursuit, the Skywalkers soon find themselves trapped on the moon Pydyr, caught between their former allies and a mob of angry Fallanassi. A new truce may be their only hope.

"This is the 6th part of the Fate of the Jedi series within the Star Wars Expanded Universe and cannot be read without reading the other books before it. There are many storylines going on while the Jedi battle Abeloth, the Sith, the Alliance, and sometimes themselves."

    " I like these series because they are so expansive. I imagine they would be hard to pick up in the middle if you hadn't read the ones before. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This is one of the best Star Wars novels I have read in a while. It has Jedi fighting Sith, Jedi fighting other Jedi, and Jedi fighting the Galactic Alliance. And most importantly, it was not written by Christie Golden. What more can you want. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This story line is coming along nicely, although I still maintain that the Jedi temple story is much more interesting than the Luke/Sith story line. I still enjoyed the book over all though. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This was a good read, the best in the series so far. It convinces me further that this series would be awesome at about three less books. "

    " Loved it. This is the first Star Wars book I've read, and I am excited to read more. Nice to read about Han, Leia and Luke's adventures post Episode VI (Return of the Jedi). I recommend reading the books in order, but not necessary. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is one of the better books in the Fate of the Jedi series. The need for cooperation between the Jedi & Sith, the choice Saba had to make and the fall of Daala towards the dark side all make it rather more thought-provoking then prior books. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Troy Denning has put together another great Star Wars book "

    — Alex, 4/29/2013
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " After three books of slow build up, Troy Denning kept the action going in this one. Over 400 pages and I wasn't ready for it to end. Can't wait to read the next in the series, but I'm sure this was the pinnacle. "

    — David, 4/1/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is by far the best book in the series since Outcast. I couldn't put it down. The story, action, and characterizations were great. This is one of Denning's best contributions to the saga and gives me high hopes for the rest of FoTJ. "

    " Loved the interactions between the Skywalkers and the Sith. And that doesn't include the tensions and situations associated with the probable doublecross that should be expected of the Sith. Can't wait to read the next one in the series! "

    " sadly, this "star wars" book just missed the mark. I found it boring. The plot just plodded along. The familiar characters just lacked their usual luster. I was disappointed. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5
