Star Wars Legends (Fate of the Jedi)

By: Aaron Allston

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY OF THE STAR WARS GALAXY BEGINS HERE. . . .

After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis–and in need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.

In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo’s turn to the dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it’s only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch hunt. Facing conviction on the damning charges, Luke must strike a bargain with the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile from Coruscant and from the Jedi Order.

Though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo’s corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest–and life as he knows it–to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the Jedi Order . . . and devastate the entire galaxy.©2009 Aaron Allston; (P)2009 Random House

Full audiobooks make these even more enjoyable!!!!

the story is good we get to see ben growing into his own, i enjoyed the book i hope audible keeps the unabridged coming for us!

I enjoyed this

I am not a big Star Wars fan as far as reading it. But this audio book was very well done and i enjoyed it. Look forward to listening to others. And only a little profanity.

it's about time!

I am thrilled that this series is completely unabridged! I think that the rest of the star wars ledgends novels after return of the jedi should all be recorded unabridged, but We can't always have what we want. Even if this series was abridged, it would still be worth it, because Marc is narrating all of the books.

Good story

Good story of the early Jedi, good narrative and was engaging. I will be looking for book two.

Fantastic.

I loved the first book in this series. Sad that Disney decided to destroy this and cannibalize Legends to make 'New Star Wars' . If you love Star Wars, really love it. You will love this.
