Publisher's summary

The moment of truth is fast approaching. The events unfolding in the New York Times bestselling Star Wars The New Jedi Order series are reaching a crucial point, as the New Republic's heroes brace themselves for an unprecedented confrontation with both external and internal enemies.

In the ongoing conflict against the merciless Yuuzhan Vong, the capture of Coruscant has plunged the New Republic into disarray, plagued by internal conflicts and teetering on the brink of capitulation. However, a steadfast group of individuals, including Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, along with their offspring and allies, remain resolute in their determination to secure victory against seemingly insurmountable odds. At long last, there are indications that the tide may be shifting in favor of the New Republic.

Having acquired vital Yuuzhan Vong intelligence, the skilled Jedi fighter pilot Jaina Solo is preparing to spearhead a daring surprise assault on an enemy flagship. Concurrently, Jaina's brother, Jacen, now free from enemy captivity and newly instructed in an even deeper understanding of the Force by the Jedi Knight Vergere, stands ready to employ his extraordinary abilities against the invaders. Meanwhile, on Mon Calamari, the New Republic's temporary capital, the retired and ailing Admiral Ackbar has devised a significant tactical plan that holds the potential to swiftly bring the Yuuzhan Vong's reign to an end.

However, even as opposing forces clash in the vastness of space, schemes and machinations abound: in the fiercely contested political arena for the position of Chief of State…in the clandestine operations of Yuuzhan Vong spies plotting assassinations…and within the enigmatic figure of Vergere, a Jedi Knight whose true loyalties remain shrouded in mystery. As Luke Skywalker undertakes the task of reestablishing the Jedi Council, a growing faction opposed to the ways of the Force unveils a terrifying weapon designed to eradicate the Yuuzhan Yong species. Yet, in their pursuit, they risk transforming the New Republic into the very entity it has vowed to oppose—and unleashing the formidable power of the dark side.
