Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi is the next
saga in the Star Wars galaxy. This nine-book storyline
continues after the dramatic events of Legacy
of the Force and details the efforts and struggles of
the Solo family, of Luke and Ben Skywalker, of the Jedi, and
of the rest of the galaxy following Darth Caedus' brief but
brutal reign.
It has been two years since the death of Darth Caedus. Chief
of State Natasi Daala
has ushered the Galactic Alliance into a time of unprecedented
calm, and now the entire galaxy stands poised to freely
embrace the same enduring peace that Jacen Solo once sought to
impose as a Sith Lord.
In this new era, Luke Skywalker finds himself battling for
control of the very order he founded. After |
|
|
|
|
|
Jacen’s fall to the dark side, much of the galaxy
sees Jedi Knights as rogue soldiers too dangerous and unstable to
leave unfettered. It is a view shared by Chief
Daala, who has sworn to bring the order under government
control, or disband it entirely.
But the greatest threat to the Jedi remains unseen, a faceless
menace even more lethal and insidious than the Sith who have plagued
the Jedi for millennia. Awakened by Jacen Solo during his five-year
odyssey, this hidden peril is reaching out from the darkest corner
of the galaxy, assaulting Jedi Knights in ways that Luke has yet to
perceive, but which he must quickly thwart if he is to have any hope
of redeeming the New Jedi Order. |

Full synopsis for Fate
of the Jedi: Vortex and rear cover:
StarWars.com
has posted the much anticipated back
cover
for the sixth Fate of the Jedi
novel, Vortex,
as it features Jedi Master Kenth Hamner - a character
never before illustrated.
They have also posted an expanded synopsis for the novel
by Troy Denning (as this contains potential
spoilers, highlight between the arrowheads to
read):
>>>In
a stunning turn of events, Luke Skywalker and his son,
Ben, joined forces with members of the Sith armada
sent to kill them -- and turned their combined might
against the monstrous being Abeloth, whose power was
causing young Jedi Knights to go seemingly insane. But
with Abeloth gone and the Knights sane again, the Sith
reverted to form, making a treacherous attempt on
Luke's life.
Luke and Ben have no time for retaliation. A new and
even more insidious threat is rising, one that
endangers not only the Jedi but the entire Galactic
Alliance. Unless the Skywalkers survive to sound the
alarm -- and to pass along the secrets they have
learned about Abeloth and the Sith -- the galaxy will
suffer as it has never suffered before. But the
reinforcements they need remain grounded on Coruscant,
where the political battle of wills between the Jedi
Council and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi
Daala has reached a boiling point.
Now Luke and Ben must go on the run, taking along the
inscrutable -- and dangerous -- Sith apprentice
Vestara Khai. With a host of Sith warriors in hot
pursuit, the Skywalkers soon find themselves trapped
on the moon Pydyr, caught between their former allies
and a mob of angry Fallanassi. A new truce may be
their only hope. But can a Sith ever be trusted?
With the Jedi's most famous father-and-son team
outnumbered and outgunned, the countdown to galactic
disaster has begun -- and time is running out!<<<
Fate
of the Jedi: Vortex by Troy Denning is due for
release in hardback on 7th (US) and 9th (UK) December.

Fate
of the Jedi #1: Outcast
Aaron Allston
Published as Hardback Novel (2009);
Audio Book (2009); e-Book (2009); Paperback Novel (2010)
Del Rey [US]; Arrow Books [UK]
After 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 subsequent
reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it's only the first blow
in an anti-Jedi backlash fuelled 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
has only one choice. He must strike a bargain with the
calculating Daala:
his freedom in exchange for his exile from Coruscant and
from the Jedi Order.
Now, though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is
determined to keep grim 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.

Fate
of the Jedi #2: Omen
Christie Golden
Published as Hardback Novel (2009);
Audio Book (2009); e-Book (2009); Paperback Novel (2010)
Del Rey [US]; Arrow Books [UK]
The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late
Jacen Solo's shocking transformation into murderous Sith
Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who
wield the Force for good. Two Jedi Knights have succumbed
to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis. Criminal
charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed
exile. And power-hungry Chief of State Natasi
Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine
the Order's influence within the Galactic Alliance.
Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a
desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen's fall
to the dark side and to learn what's turning peaceful Jedi
into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean
venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift,
and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy
outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other
choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on
Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same
violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi
Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her
capture by Daala's
police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another
deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting
Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala's
iron will: at the expense of the Jedi Order.
But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the
past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown, low-tech
planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the
generations, their numbers have grown anew, the ways of
the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast
approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more
take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as
rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way
to dominance, a name whispered to them through the Force:
Skywalker.

Fate
of the Jedi #3: Abyss
Troy Denning
Published as Hardback Novel
(2009); Audio Book (2009); e-Book (2009); Paperback
Novel (2010)
Del Rey [US]; Arrow Books [UK]
Following a trail of clues across the
galaxy, Luke Skywalker continues his quest to find the
reasons behind Jacen Solo’s dark downfall and to win
redemption for the Jedi Order. Sojourning among the
mysterious Aing-Tii monks has left Luke and his son Ben
with no real answers, only the suspicion that the
revelations they seek lie in the forbidden reaches of
the distant Maw Cluster. There, hidden from the galaxy
in a labyrinth of black holes, dwell the Mind Walkers:
those whose power to transcend their bodies and be one
with the Force is as seductive and intoxicating as it is
potentially fatal. But it may be Luke’s only path to
the truth.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, the war of wills between
Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi
Daala and the Jedi Order is
escalating. Outraged over the carbonite freezing of
young Jedi Knights Valin and Jysella Horn after their
inexplicable mental breakdowns, the Jedi are determined
to defy Daala’s
martial tactics, override Council Master Kenth Hamner’s
wavering leadership, and deal on their own terms with
the epidemic of madness preying on their ranks. As Han
and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina, join the
fight to protect more stricken Knights from arrest, Jedi
healers race to find a cure for the rapidly spreading
affliction. But none of them realize the blaster barrel
is already swinging in their direction, and Chief Daala
is about to pull the trigger.
Nor do Luke and Ben, deep in the Maw Cluster and pushing
their Force abilities beyond known limits, realize how
close they are to the Sith strike squad bent on
exterminating the Skywalkers, to a nexus of dark-side
energy unprecedented in its power and its hunger, and to
an explosive confrontation between opposing wielders of
the Force from which only one Master, good or evil, can
emerge alive.

BETWEEN ARROW HEADS TO READ:
>>>Repercussions
from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and
the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi
continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly
escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the
Mind Walkers, and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and
Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now Masterless
Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. It is a chase that leads
to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of
powerful dark-side Force-wielders will give Vestara
the edge she needs to escape -- and where the
Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their quarry
and their lives.
Meanwhile, Han and Leia Solo are on their own
desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi
from Coruscant to safe haven in the Transitory Mists
-- and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of
State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver only
intensifies Daala's fury, and she is determined to
shatter Jedi Order resistance once and for all.
Yet, no greater threat exists than that which still
waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A
being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth
calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For
some, it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial
to their survival. For others, it could be the
ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a
game-changing -- and life-altering -- encounter of
untold magnitude, and a tactical gambit with
unimaginable consequences.<<<

>>>What began
as a quest for truth has become a struggle for
survival for Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben. They
have used the secrets of the Mindwalkers to
transcend their own bodies and speak with the
spirits of the fallen, risking their very lives in
the process. They have faced a team of Sith
assassins and beaten the odds to destroy them. And
now the death squad’s sole survivor, Sith
apprentice Vestara Khai, has summoned an entire
fleet of Sith frigates to engage the embattled
father and son. But the dark warriors come bearing a
surprising proposition that will bring Jedi and Sith
together in an unprecedented alliance against an
evil more ancient and alien than they can imagine.
While the Skywalkers and their Sith allies set off
on their joint mission into the treacherous web of
black holes that is the Maw, Han and Leia Solo risk
arrest and worse to aid the Jedi imprisoned back on
Coruscant. Tyrannical Chief of State Natasi Daala
has issued orders that will open a permanent schism
between her government and the Jedi Order—a schism
that could turn all Jedi into renegades and wanted
criminals.
But it is in the depths of the Maw that the future
of the galaxy will be decided. For there the
Skywalkers and their Sith allies will engage a true
monster in battle, and Luke will come face-to-face
with a staggering truth.<<<
