Publisher's summary

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.

Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key - risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je’daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved - and whose life she must now fear.

surprised

The beginning of the reading was hard to get through, but the performance grew on me and enjoyed her voices. The story was really good and enjoyed the uniqueness of the early Je'daii.

Great listen!!

love Star Wars!!!! The story line was really good, and easy to follow. Add the next book!!! Please!

Pretty Good

Not the best Star Wars tale I ever read but it was pretty good. I wouldn't mind reading the sequel if a sequel is made. Narrator was good.

Excellent beginning to the STAR WARS story...

Not a boring moment, went quickly, very exciting! A must read for every Star Wars fan.

Fantastical

A fantastic tale full to the brim with action, adventure, drama, etc. A great addition to the Star Wars storyline.

Good, intersting & Jedi isn't mispronounced

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Good story that holds your interest.
A different interesting view on the Force, it's use & users [I.E. their are no Jedi or Sith].
The flash backs break up the monotony.

And if you really think about it: you can see where how the Force is used here by good people, it could be dangerious & even evil.

Have you listened to any of January LaVoy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No... Men & women sound pretty good, i'd give her a 4 - 4.5. Voices do meld together a slight bit thow.

Jedi isn't mispronounced, its spelled Je'dali & they ARE NOT Jedi :}

Epic Story

awesome story I wish audible had all the Dawn of the Jedi books please

A good start

Great book the story could’ve gone more in depth with the origins, but I think it’s a good start for it

narrator was horrid

the book was good. gives insight into the je'daii. the narrator however was like jar jar in episode 1

Good Story and Important Jedi Origin History

Finding out details of Jedi History and details about Tython the planet with the earliest Jedi temples was really interesting. Also how the Jedi "Rangers" operated was cool. I am glad to recommend this book
