About this audiobook

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, Mace Windu must journey to his long-forgotten homeworld to confront a terrifying mystery with dire personal consequences.

The jungle planet of Haruun Kal, homeworld of the legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu, has become a battleground in the increasing hostilities between the Republic and the renegade Separatist movement. The Jedi Council has sent Depa Billaba—Mace’s former Padawan and fellow Council member—to Haruun Kal to train the local tribesmen as a guerrilla resistance force. But now the Separatists have pulled back, and Depa has not returned. The only clue to her disappearance is a cryptic recording left at the scene of a brutal massacre: a recording that hints of madness and murder, and the darkness in the jungle . . . a recording in Depa’s own voice.

Mace Windu trained Depa. Only he can find her. Only he can learn what has changed her. Only he can stop her. He will leave behind the Republic he serves, the civilization he believes in, everything but his passion for peace and his devotion to his former Padawan. And he will learn the terrible price that must be paid when keepers of the peace are forced to make war. . . .

Ratings and reviews

I've read many Star Wars books and comics, and this is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best Legends book they EVER came out with. Only book where Mace Windu is the lead character and it's sort of a mix between Apocalypse Now and Star Wars. This version of the audiobook is so well done and the narrator does an amazing job bringing the character to life. Sound effects and music are all on point and they give you chills at places. Can't recommend it highly enough and if you only read one or a few Star Wars books, make sure it's this one.

Absolut den sämsta star wars boken. Bortkastad tid. Istället för att vara med i händelserna så berättade dom, lite som att lyssna på någon som berättar om en resa.

I would suggest getting the preview. Not bad over all it's a slow burn. The planet in this story is very much a character. I didn't know much about Mace before and I'm not sure I'm know much more now.
