Synopsis:
No war can last forever. Now, in
the long and punishing battle between the defiant
champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that
is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at
hand.
The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of
Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’s assassination and the death
of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, the Galactic
Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark
brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at
its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between
the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has
searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of
the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than
even Palpatine’s. Now it seems that the last, best
hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one
decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective:
eliminate Darth Caedus.
It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to
execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both
the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the
Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth
Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to
stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the
death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down
the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.
The furious final moments between power and peace are
here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the
outcome–and the fate of those left standing.
