Resumen del Editor

Karr is a teenage boy like many others in the galaxy. He goes to school, helps his parents with the family business, likes speeders and droids. But Karr also has a secret: When he touches certain objects, he gets searing headaches and blacks out. And along with the pain sometimes come visions of people he doesn't know and places he's never been.

Karr's parents worry that he's sick; his grandmother is convinced the visions come from the Force. But it's been years since anyone has heard from the last of the Jedi - Luke Skywalker. Are there any Jedi left to guide Karr in the use of his abilities? Is anyone even willing to talk about the Jedi and what happened to them, as their memory continues to fade and the First Order rises? Stuck on his isolated home planet, Karr becomes a collector of historical artifacts, hoping to one day find an object that will give him a vision about the secrets of the Jedi.

When his grandmother dies and his parents announce they're sending him away to a school on the other side of the planet, Karr reaches his breaking point. He needs to know what his destiny holds, and whether the Jedi are involved. Accompanied by Maize, the blunt, unpredictable new girl at school with ties to the First Order, and RZ-7, Karr's solicitous droid companion, he sets off into the larger galaxy to find the truth. His adventures will take him from Utapau to Jakku to Takodana and beyond as he learns more about the Jedi than he could have expected...and about his own place in the Force.

Excellent addition to the Star Wars Story

Wonderfully read story with enough for someone that does not know Star Wars, and plenty for those that have experienced all nine of the movies plus the 2 stand alone movies.
5 stars.

From another perspective...

A teens novel given minor details to an already well known story from another perspective. For the true fan only.

good book, okay reader

I loved the story, but due to the performance by the reader (who has a very strong accent) I am still unsure of what the main character's name is... The name is said at least 150 times, and I still have no clue if it is Kal, Kar, or Kah.

British accents are stinky

great story with a lot of Easter eggs

Man I couldnt stop listening to this story. this was a really great addition to the series. it explains stuff between ep 6 and 7

great book and voice acting

loved it and the voice acting was great In keeping the characters apart nice read

Breathtaking

I'm a huge Starwars Fan and I love this book. Nice work on the story.

Awesome story!!! Very well written and performed!

I really enjoyed listening to this very well written and performed audio book. You will not go wrong purchasing this one! :)

The Force

Entirely to short. Very good story of how the force finds the way to guide the good.

Great little listen!

Always fun to expand on the Start Wars universe. I love knowing some background on other folks loving during this time.

History is written by the winners

This book gives a great look at just how badly the Empire changed the history of the galaxy and how little the New Republic had done to right those wrongs. This book also helps close a Clone Wars plot hole about a character I will not name for spoilers sake. The people who say this book just rehashes known stories missed the point. This book is to help establish the mindset of the the average citizen at the rise of the First Order with some nostalgia on the side.
