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.

Great book

Would you listen to Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Ascension again? Why?

Star wars books aren't the best for relistening

Who was your favorite character and why?

Vistara

Have you listened to any of Marc Thompson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Always does his books justice, I'm sure that's why they keep him

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

When VistaraStar gets caught by Ben writing fake letters to her father

Why????

Firstly let me amend the above star review. Ofcourse in reality... any Starwars audio-book narrated by Marc Thompson and unabridged is 6 out of 5 stars. But can we please stop putting great characters that are trying so hard to do right in these no win scenarios. Where they inevitably have to make the only choice anyone else would ever make and push them to the dark side.

An exciting Star Wars book to listen to

Just finished this book and all I can saw is WOW.
The writing and the voice acting by Marc Thompson is superb.

Marc Thompson always brings an A+ effort, not only changing his voice to reflect the character that is talking but the known characters (Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, etc) and are always consistent & sound great for those none regular cast (Allana, Tenel Ka, Sith characters, Ves).

Highly recommend this entire series.

A great setup to the final chapter.

This book was essentially a setup to the next one. expanding on the overall story and bringing you to a point where you knew it had to come. I bought the last book even before I was done with this one because I knew I wanted to jump right in.
