Publisher's summary

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.

Always good!

I had started out listening to these audio books on YouTube, and found Marc Thompson to be a very good Narrator. The story that I’ve been following has not let me down yet and the performance as always with Marc is top notch. I’ll be hearing the next book once I’m done with this review, and I can’t wait to hear it.
Thank you,
Mitch

Apart of the series..just not the best part

Not as good as the first book but still holds its own. Way more than good enough to want to listen to the next one.

Performance was excellent, story left more to be desired

As always love Mark Thompson’s narration is the best. I’d recommend this book to any person who is interested in reading Star Wars legends and wants to understand the full picture of where the Star Wars galaxy is that right now. The story was good, although there was more that I thought could’ve been explained. To avoid spoilers I would just say that a group of people kind of come out of nowhere that you weren’t really informed about, which sort of conflicts with something that happened in the previous series legacy of the force. Overall Mark Thompson was amazing and I am intrigued to see where the story goes next

Good book.

I couldn't get the thing do four and a half stars so i rounded up. But very good book. I actually like it better than outcast. Mainly because i felt the Kessel part slowed the story down and i have yet to see much more than and adventure come out of it. Anyways i felt in this book most of the parts were very interesting, admittedly though due in part to my preference of the sith.

Elite

This book series is elite and sad that this wasn’t adopted by Disney. Diving into the adventures of Luke and Ben have been a great deal of fun. Off to book 3
