Synopsis:
"The Chancellor has little real power… He is
mired down by baseless accusations of corruption. A
manufactured scandal surrounds him," Senator
Palpatine told Queen Amidala in The
Phantom Menace. Tracing the thrilling chain of
events that leads up to the Republic’s current chaotic
state, this exciting novel follows Chancellor Valorum as
he struggles with his fall from power… and the dark
forces who have benefited greatly from his weakened
position.
Hoping to stem the growing tide of unrest, Valorum
convenes an emergency trade summit on the planet Eriadu.
At his request, a group of Jedi Knights is sent to
protect the delegates from possible terrorist attack.
But what should have been a simple peacekeeping
assignment turns out to be a mission into the heart of a
political firestorm. For shadowy forces are at work,
pulling the strings in a masterful bid for power that
could leave the Republic reeling. And the Chancellor is
only its most visible victim…
