About this ebook

A new era of exciting adventures and shocking revelations continues to unfold, as the legendary Star Wars saga sweeps forward into astonishing new territory.

Civil war looms as the fledgling Galactic Alliance confronts a growing number of rebellious worlds–and the approaching war is tearing the Skywalker and Solo families apart. Han and Leia return to Han’s homeworld, Corellia, the heart of the resistance. Their children, Jacen and Jaina, are soldiers in the Galactic Alliance’s campaign to crush the insurgents.

Jacen, now a complete master of the Force, has his own plans to bring order to the galaxy. Guided by his Sith mentor, Lumiya, and with Luke’s young son Ben at his side, Jacen embarks on the same path that his grandfather Darth Vader once did. And while Han and Leia watch their only son become a stranger, a secret assassin entangles the couple with a dreaded name from Han’s past: Boba Fett. In the new galactic order, friends and enemies are no longer what they seem. . . .

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this book, simple because Boba Fett was portraited as being more human than we have ever seen him. I actually cried for him and his situation (but then again I'm pregnant and full of hormones, too). As for using Alibris/google books, I struggled a little with the book freezing up on my e-reader, but was able to finish it on my laptop. Alibris sent me a coupon for money off my next purchase, which made my frustration wane. Very pleased with their customer service! You've got a customer for life.

Very good read! Captivating from the beginning.

thoroughly enjoyable read
