Publisher's summary

How long can the Jedi remain in power? How far will the Sith go to rule supreme? What chance do both stand against Abeloth?

As Luke and Ben Skywalker pursue the formidable dark-side being Abeloth, the Lost Tribe of the Sith is about to be sundered by an even greater power - which will thrust one Dark Lord into mortal conflict with his own flesh-and-blood.

On Coruscant, a political vacuum has left tensions at the boiling point, with factions racing to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Suddenly surrounded by hidden agendas, treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must struggle to keep the GA government from collapsing into anarchy.

The Jedi are committed to maintaining peace and ensuring just rule, but even they are not prepared to take on the combined threats of Sith power, a deposed dictator bent on galaxywide vengeance, and an entity of pure cunning and profound evil hungry to become a god.

When do we get the last book?

Any additional comments?

I love this series and the narrator is the best I have ever heard in any audio book. But I have to ask when is Audible going to get the last book in the series? There is a fate of the Jedi Apocalypse audio book narrated by Marc Thompson on Amazon, when do we get it here?

Intriguing Storyline Helped by Great Narration

If you could sum up Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Ascension in three words, what would they be?

surprising long tradition

What did you like best about this story?

The story clung to the tradition of Star Wars, but was not afraid of going a bit darker. This series is not as dark as some others out there, but it was not afraid of killing when necessary for the story to be complete.

Which character – as performed by Marc Thompson – was your favorite?

Luke was cool and collected.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The revelation that the Jedi was moving off of Corscant

Easily one of the best

This book alone, penultimate title of an already great series, encapsulates all that made Star Wars great before the 2014 Disney Order 66.

Another excellent volume!!

I couldn't stop listening to it. What a great story for a follow up for what I think should be a great ending to this series. I can't wait to finish it.
