Peace is the way of the Jedi. But with deadly enemies on every side, war
may be the only way out.
On Coruscant, an epidemic of madness is preying on the ranks of the Jedi
Order--driving the Galactic Alliance to martial actions. 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.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker continues his quest to find the reasons behind
Jacen Solo's dark downfall and to win redemption for the Jedi Order--a
journey that draws Luke and his son, Ben, to the forbidden reaches of
the Maw Cluster. There dwell the Mind Walkers: those whose power to
transcend their bodies and be one with the Force is as seductive as it
is potentially fatal. As Luke and Ben push their Force abilities beyond
known limits, they draw closer to a nexus of dark-side energy
unprecedented in its power, and to an explosive confrontation from which
only one Master--good or evil--can emerge alive.
