**Locked in a war of wills and weapons, the Jedi Order and the Galactic
Alliance must come to terms--before the Sith's army of darkness enacts
revenge.
**
Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the
mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak
galaxywide havoc. Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now
Masterless Sith apprentice--a chase that leads to the forbidding planet
Dathomir, where the Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their
quarry and their lives. Meanwhile, Han and Leia have completed their own
desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi to safe haven beyond
the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. Yet no
greater threat exists than Abeloth, a being of ravenous dark-side energy
who calls out to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate
source of answers for survival. For others it could be the ultimate
weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing encounter of
untold magnitude with unimaginable consequences.
