Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the Mind Walkers, and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now masterless Sith apprentice. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of powerful dark-side Force-wielders will give Vestara the edge she needs to escape - and where the Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their quarry and their lives.

Meanwhile, Han and Leia have completed their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant to a safe haven in the Transitory Mists and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver has intensified Daalas fury, and she is determined to shatter Jedi Order resistance once and for all.

Yet no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: a being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing and life-altering encounter of untold magnitude and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.

Awesomeness

Awesomely Narrated!!! Truly every detail of the story and the fantastic way it is presented. Can turn any syfy lover into a Starbucks Wars fan.

love the story

fate of the jedi is one of the best book sets I've ever read. wish they would continue with other pland book like the sword of the jedi.

holy shit this book is amazing

if your not a fan of the new SW cannon and hate the last Jedi movie Read this book I wish this series was made into a movie that last few chapters are so epic you'll be amazed

Great book, Great performance.

I’ve rarely delved into the legends material of Star Wars but this series is mention so much I had to give it a shot. I was trepidatious about the directions shifts between three writers of a series, but this book shows that they are bouncing from writer to writer without me noticing a change.
The dynamics of character and story is presented artfully.
Marc Thompson is always amazing a delight to listen to.

The saga continues

This is Star Wars. This new series is the best so far, even surpassing Legacy of the Force, which was amazing. I've listened to each book in this series and each one has left me hungry for more. Alas, no new Star Wars until May! Awesome series, awesome book, awesome narration. We can only hope Marc Thompson narrates every Star Wars book in the future.

Pulls you in and doesn't let go!

This book and the other books in the Fate of the Jedi series are amazing! Marc Thompson makes everything seem so real. My favorite book, in the series so far, is Abyss! Both are a must read! I'm looking forward to finishing the entire series!
