Book description
Not since Emperor Palpatine have the Jedi battled such monstrous evil.
Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed. Luke
Skywalker's daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong's nefarious plot to
overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts. And time is
slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet
whose rulers are about to yield to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the
Jedi rebels. On Coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a
shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting
complete control. But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are
thrust into a fierce battle for their lives. Suddenly, the chances of
escaping appear nearly impossible. And in space, another battle rages,
one that holds ominous consequences for the New Republic-and for the
Jedi themselves. . . . Aaron Allston was an editor of Space Gamer
