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 expl...more 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.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!(less)

In this second book of the 9-book Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi series, the plot thickens, as they say. Luke Skywalker and his teenage son Ben continue their travels around the galaxy trying to retrace the route taken by Jacen Solo, a Jedi who turned to the Dark side of the Force in the Legacy of the Force series. Meanwhile, young Jedi continue to go psychotic, intensifying the tension between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance government. Meanwhile, a self-aware Sith meditation sphere finds...more

A solid addition to this new arc of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Omen's major contribution to the Fate of the Jedi series is to introduce the Lost Tribe of the Sith, potentially the new main villains of the series. Otherwise it follows well in the footsteps of Star Wars: Fate Of The Jedi: Outcast, advancing the established storylines apace. Goloden's work on Ben Skywalker as a character deserves a special mention because for the first time I actually cared about him rather than just caring a...more

This is a solid entry in this new series of Star Wars, but it doesn't add too much to the story. It seems a little bit like a redux of the last one, Outcast, but with the introduction of the "Lost Tribe of the Sith," who are going to be the main villains in this series. This could have been a great novel if Golden had taken some time to flesh out some more about the culture and history of this Lost Tribe and developed the character of Vestara Khai, the main Sith the reader is introduced to.

The Star Wars EU novels are my own personal "chick lit", not because of the content, but because they are simple reads and pure escapism.

The story is the second of a nine book arc, the "Fate of the Jedi" series, and the first SW novel for author, Christie Golden. It basically continues the plot introductions set in motion by Aaron Allston in the first novel, "Outcast".

I'm catching up with this series, as I realize I'm a bit behind, but this way I don't have to wait months between installments....more

I really enjoyed this book. The addition of the Sith on Kesh was particularly intriguing, and I'm excited to see what comes of them, particularly Vestara, of course. The affliction of certain Jedi Knights is still quite a mystery, exciting and confusing and causing so much trouble for the Jedi. I feel so sorry for the Horns!

The good: This book didn't make me angry at all, which definitely isn't always the case when it comes to Del Rey era Star Wars books. In fact, this book was cause for much squeeing over developments between certain favorite characters. And the Sith characters were very interesting as well--one could imagine their culture without them being painted as completely evil, heartless beings. The point of view character for the Sith sections was actually very sympathetic.

Wow. I think that, in general, Star Wars books have been outstanding of late. The last series with Allston, Denning, and Cunningham was incredibly well written, even if I didn't always like the story line. The first book in this series, written by Allston, was really, really good. This book seemed horrible in comparison.

It is really short, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it suggests to me that the author, first time Star Wars writer Christie Golden, had trouble coming up with material w...more

This book is slightly better than the previous one, «Outcast», enough to get me immediately interested in the following novels. This is my first Christie Golden, and I think she's fairly good.

In this chapter of the «Fate of the Jedi» series, there are three story arcs. The first being events of two years in the past (roughly by the end of the «Legacy of the Force» series), the second follows what I'd say it's the main story thread, the schisms between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance and...more

But as a multi-book Star Wars series tends to do, we are still getting an awful lot of medicore set-up and filler story that doesn't result in a lot of emotional impact. I think Christie Golden is an able writer and a better one than some others I could name in the Star Wars universe of writers. But she's working with many disparate threads and not given the ability to provide us with anything that resembles a real payoff.

Here's what's going on in "Omen." There is...yet again...a lost tribe of Sith operating without contact with the galaxy at large because their ship crashed on a planet a long time ago and the survivors couldn't make it fly again. This lost tribe of Sith seems more like the Screen Actors Guild (narcissistic and beauty obsessed) than a bunch of evil Sith...at least until they find a way (courtesy of the living Sith teaching orb ship from the "Legacy of the Force" series) back out into the galaxy and start slaughtering innocents. The Sith we get to see the most of is new apprentice Vestara Khai, who seems to have a special relationship with Ship.

The "mad Jedi" plague seems to be spreading and causing havoc...as well as encouraging Daala to crack down harder on the Jedi. There is squabbling over who gets to keep which mad Jedi, since Daala just wants to freeze them all in carbonite.

There's more with "grandpa and grandma" Solo (a.k.a. Han and Leia) and their cute Jedi grandchild Allana, but their plotline is not nearly as annoying and ancillary as it was in the first book of this series. Their plotline twines in more directly with the mad Jedi storyline when they fall victim to the actions of one of the mad Jedi soon after she turns violent.

There are a couple of nice bits with Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel, who may finally be moving forward with their relationship.

And Luke and Ben are continuing to follow Jacen's path. This book they visit the Aing-Tii (those mysterious "flow walkers" who can travel outside of their bodies to the past and future) and try to solve their problems as well. I have to say the Luke and Ben plotline is pretty dull no matter what planet they go to and who they're supposed to help. Their adventures play like a really bad sci-fi TV show meant to educate viewers about different alien races (and how human Jedi are always the most special Jedi of all). Instead of solving the problems of the Aing-Tii, which would be trite and expected, Luke and Ben don't solve their problems. The novelty of that is lost in the lame way it all comes about, however.

The powers that be do allow a bit of foreshadowing of future storylines in that Luke, while touching an Aing-Tii artifact, broadcasts himself briefly to the galaxy and the lost tribe of Sith take notice.

I found the abrupt "cliffhanger" ending of "Omen" (the arrest of "fallen" Jedi Tahiri Veila by the GA) to be somewhat jarring and no substitute for an actual satisfying ending.

And while some might object to the harsh reviews I write about Star Wars books, I have found at least one Star Wars book (the Yoda Clone Wars era book "Dark Rendezvous") that I would put on my favorite books of all-time list. So while I do have higher standards, I'm not just bashing Star Wars for the heck of it. I wouldn't be reading the books if I wasn't hoping to find something worthwhile in them.(less)

I'm being a little generous in giving this book four stars (as I tend to be). Not bad for Golden's freshman effort in the Star Wars universe, but it falls a little short of what I know she's capable of. It did feel a little tentative in places, as if she might have been hesitant to step on the stories Allston and Denning wanted to tell, but, given the tangled mess of plots that was the Legacy of the Force series, it is somewhat of a welcome reprieve.

It's visibly shorter than the other two of the first three books, and of those in Legacy of the Force. But Quality is more important than Quantity and so I started reading (after all, there is another seven books after this one...).

And I have to say. I'm disappointed that there still isn't a plot. Not really. I could summarise it in maybe two or three sentences. There is nothing that really happens. Except for one small plotline, the Lost Tribe of the Sith are involved at this book, and the ending for that hints at a larger plot arc, which hopefully becomes a stronger one throughout the next few books.

The other two plotlines, that of Luke's Exile and of the Political Attack on the Jedi, continue at much the same pace as in Allston's Outcast. That is to say, slowly. There is a small amount of stuff that happens - but only one thing that's particularly exciting. The rest is dialogue and learning. It's interesting, I did enjoy reading it, but it's not as exciting as I feel a long series needs to be.

And to be fair, the Plot is the only problem I had with this book. The characters are really good - Luke and Ben in particular. I quite like the way that they are spending time together, occasionally remembering Mara Jade - especially since they've taken her ship. It's nice, and uplifting, to read. Han and Leia are generally done well, and Golden doesn't break this pattern. Allana seems a bit more adult than a seven year old should be, but I enjoyed her scenes. I'm glad that we get to read more about Jaina, as I was disappointed by the lack of her in Legacy of the Force.

And so far that's all I can really say about it. It's a similar style to Outcast, and I got about the same enjoyment from it. But the lack of a strong overall plot is more disappointing in this second book. I was initially worried that Golden wouldn't write as well as Traviss did in the Legacy books, but Although she writes differently, I still enjoyed it - although I did miss Boba Fett. Reviews for book three are promising though, so I won't give up on this series. I enjoy reading them, I just hope something Happens soon.(less)

Omen continues right where Outcast left off. Luke Skywalker and his son Ben are exiled from Coruscant, looking for clues at why Jacen subverted to the Dark Side and became Caedus. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, something malevolent is happening in the Jedi Order. Something is striking seemingly random Jedi, causing them to see "fakes" of everyone--friends and family alike--and in their madness they are causing damage. Often, this damage is in a public situation, and this is not a good image for t...more

OMEN started with a lot of loose threads, but I sat in my favorite reading chair in awe as the author stitched them up.

Though formulaic, the Skywalkers 'investigation' of the Aing-Tii is much more refreshing than Allston's Baran Do Sages. The action is subtle and revolves more around the bureaucratic at times--but, truthfully, that's how I likes it!

But the mystery is there; the intrigue that I've been craving since the last series. The seeds of interest have definitely been sewn.

After being disappointed with Outcast, I decided to see if this series picked up at all. So, I picked up Omen at the library.

Sadly, I feel the series got worse.

There is only one story-arc that I find interesting: Luke and Ben in exile, searching for a decent answer as to why Jacen Solo turned evil.

There is also the great dynamic of seeing Han and Leia as grandparents, doing what they can for their grand daughter.

She has over a million books in print.

2009 will see no fewer than three novels published. First out in late April will be a World of Warcraft novel, Athas: Rise of the Lich King. This is the first Warcraft novel to appear in hardcover. Fans of the young paladin who fell so far from grace will get to read his definitive story.

In June, Golden’s first Star Wars novel, also a hardcover, sees print. Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi—Omen is the second in a nine-book series she is co-authoring with Aaron Allston and Troy Denning. Also in June comes the conclusion of Golden’s StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga with the release of Twlight, the third book in the series. The first two are Firstborn and Shadow Hunters.

2004 saw the launch of an original fantasy series called The Final Dance, from LUNA Books. The first novel in the series, On Fire's Wings, was published in July of that year. The second, In Stone’s Clasp , came out in September of 2005. With In Stone’s Clasp, Golden won the Colorado Author’s League Top Hand Award for Best Genre Novel for the second time. The third book, Under Sea’s Shadow, is available only as an e-book

Golden is also the author of two original fantasy novels from Ace Books, King's Man and Thief and Instrument of Fate, which made the 1996 Nebula Preliminary Ballot. Under the pen name of Jadrien Bell, she wrote a historical fantasy thriller entitled A.D. 999, which won the Colorado Author's League Top Hand Award for Best Genre Novel of 1999.

Golden launched the TSR Ravenloft line in 1991 with her first novel, the highly successful Vampire of the Mists , which introduced elven vampire Jander Sunstar. Golden followed up Vampire with Dance of the Dead and The Enemy Within . In September of 2006, fifteen years to the month, The Ravenloft Covenant: Vampire of the Mists enabled Jander Sunstar to reach a whole new audience.

Other projects include a slew of Star Trek novels, among them The Murdered Sun , Marooned , and Seven of Nine , and "The Dark Matters Trilogy," Cloak and Dagger , Ghost Dance and Shadow of Heaven .

The Voyager novel relaunch, which includes Homecoming and The Farther Shore , were bestsellers and were the fastest-selling Trek novels of 2003. Golden continued writing VOYAGER novels even though the show went off the air, and enjoyed exploring the creative freedom that gave her in the two-parter called Spirit Walk, which includes Old Wounds and Enemy of my Enemy .

Golden has also written the novelization of Steven Spielberg's Invasion America and an original "prequel," On The Run , both of which received high praise from producer Harve Bennett. On The Run, a combination medical thriller and science fiction adventure, even prompted Bennett to invite Golden to assist in crafting the second season of the show, if it was renewed.

Golden lives in Loveland, Colorado, with her artist husband and their two cats. (less)
