  <default-description>After a violent civil war, and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis -- and in need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.

In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it's only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch hunt. Facing conviction on the damning charges, Luke has only one choice. He must strike a bargain with the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile -- from Coruscant and from the Jedi Order.

Now, though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo's corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest -- and life as he knows it -- to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the Jedi Order . . . and devastate the entire galaxy. </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I actually had a hard time getting into this one, and I blame fanfic. I am completely obsessed with a fic and it has taken over my brain. At least the Star Wars part. So I’m not really sure I’m even qualified to review.<br/><br/>That said, I did enjoy it. I’m long past the days when a Star W...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55492779">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fairly good read. I like the fact that we're not going into yet another &quot;galactic civil war&quot; in which everything is life or death and tense. The last two series (New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force) got too big and unwiedly, losing me in its story arc. This is the first of wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73222841">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The first in the newest series.  This was a pretty good read.  My only problem, though, is that I am personally getting tired of having to start reading a new series.  Can't George Lucas have his people just write single stories instead of forcing me to spend money...oh... wait... what am I saying.....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53282310">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[More like 3.5 stars.  I actually really enjoyed this, much more than the last few novels.  It's a good start to the new series, but it is just that: a start.  It suffers from &quot;first-in-series&quot; syndrome: mostly setup, minimal payoff.  But at least they've tried to bring some of the fun of S...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50697261">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's nice to see a lot of old Rogue/Wraith characters here, even if it's just cameos.  Jaina's promotion to a front-burner character seems to have stuck; let's hope that they can bring some other characters who aren't in their 60s and 70s to the forefront.  On par with Legacy of the Force, much bett...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50601972">more...</a>]]></body>
