Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole, one of the acclaimed masters of imaginative fiction, comes a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars universe, the story of Corran Horn, a heroic X-wing pilot who faces the greatest challenge of his life: trying to come to terms with his Jedi heritage and learning to use the Force--without

succumbing to the dark side.

Corran Horn was an officer in the Corellian Security Force before casting his lot with the New Republic. As the grandson of a legendary Jedi hero, he has latent Force powers that have yet to be developed. But he has managed to distinguish himself with Rogue Squadron, the X-wing fighter force that has become the scourge of the Empire and of the pirates that prey on Republic shipping.

When a new pirate band begins terrorizing the space lanes, Rogue Squadron seems at last to have met its match. Led by an ex-Moff in an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the pirates appear uncannily aware of the squadron's plans and tactics, and are able to detect and escape even the cleverest ambushes. Either there is a security leak...or the pirates have access to a dark and unnatural power that only a trained Jedi could contend with.

Then Corran's wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission to locate the pirates' secret base, and Corran vows to find her. He begins Jedi training at the Jedi academy, hoping to develop his untapped powers. But as he grows

dissatisfied with Luke Skywalker's methods, he will break with the academy before his training is finished.

Calling on his Corellian undercover experience, he infiltrates the pirate organization. His plan is daring and dangerous. He will learn what he can, sabotage what he can, and use every means possible to find his wife. And his very survival may depend on a terrible choice--whether or not to surrender to the dark side.

I, Jedi brings readers into the startling, dramatic journey of a young man with a wild talent who must somehow master those powers within...or be destroyed by them.

"Very good book, although it has a different feel than most books of the Star Wars franchise. At times it feels like Stackpole is cheating a bit in order to further the story. I almost wish a few aspects of the book were left out. Over all a good read though."

    " Yeah, we get it, Corran Horn is kickass. But this is blatant sue-ing of an already sue character. Also, the retconning of the Jedi Academy Trilogy is distasteful and very badly done. But it does some neat things, so I wouldn't skip it. "

    " I really hate giving books such low ratings, but this book felt like the author wanted to show his displeasure with the way events in a previous book had been handled and insert his perfect original character who was somehow smarter and wiser than Luke Skywalker and everyone else in the book. Not to mention that it sucked rehashing stuff that had happened in that previous book from this guy's point of view, instead of building up any suspense about the storyline I actually cared about. Not a fan of this one. "

    " I didn't care enough for the man character which makes it hard to enjoy the book when it's through his eyes. Of course, I haven't read the X-Wing series (yet) so I may appreciate more from an outside perspective. I did enjoy the book but it could have been better. Definitely enjoyed his struggles with the Dark Side when it came in from an angle he did not expect and also in that dealing with who he is as a person and his character. "

    " This one was interesting for sure, but it did not make my socks go up and down. Being told from first person and going through Jedi training was a unique combo, and for that reason I recommend the book. I felt the plot could have had more color. Did it end a little abruptly? "
