Publisher's summary

In a stunning turn of events, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, joined forces with members of the Sith armada sent to kill them - and turned their combined might against the monstrous being Abeloth. But with Abeloth gone, the Sith reverted to form, making a treacherous attempt on Luke's life.

Luke and Ben have no time for retaliation. A new and even more insidious threat is rising. Unless the Skywalkers survive to sound the alarm, the galaxy will suffer as it has never suffered before. But the reinforcements they need remain grounded on Coruscant, where the political battle of wills between the Jedi Council and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala has reached a boiling point.

Now Luke and Ben must go on the run, taking along the inscrutable - and dangerous - Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. With a host of Sith warriors in hot pursuit, the Skywalkers soon find themselves trapped on the moon Pydyr, caught between their former allies and a mob of angry Fallanassi. A new truce may be their only hope.

There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

I would recommend this book and series anybody enjoy Star Wars.

damn solid

the sound effects made it hard to hear the narration at times, but didn't take away from the nostalgia of hearing my favorite ledgend characters again.

Good God I love this series!! so much better then

I absolutely love the entire series! great acting, great story (unabridged awesome! nothing left out!) my only wish is that they had some legacy of the force series unabridged they cut out all the drama and half the heart ache, I would personally pay actors to get unabridged "legacy of the force" and unabridged "New Jedi Order" copies for audio books, I means seriously they cut half of "star by star" which is the turning point they use online war were they even lose one of the solo kids

Good, with several audio problems.

The story continues to grow well. I love the darkness and the intense fight scenes. I don't know if it was my phone or not, but I was getting some audio issues. On at least 2 separate occasions a phrase would repeat. Not a terribly big deal, but certainly confusing. There was also a moment of an inconsistent voice for Barat Kel (don't know the spelling). I was also a little surprised at Booster Tarik's voice. Thompson has voiced him in other books, so it was definitely confusing to hear a distinctly different voice and attitude. Other than that, Thompson's performance was spot on.
