As the bloodied and weary galaxy faces battle once more, the Jedi
take on the formidable task of bringing the last of the Empire into the
light. . . .
From the ashes of the New Republic--torn to shreds by the savage Yuuzhan
Vong forces--the newly formed Galactic Alliance has risen, determined to
bring peace to the entire galaxy. But first the Yuuzhan Vong must be
contained once and for all. And so Luke Skywalker seeks a world long
lost to legend: Zonama Sekot, a sentient planet believed to have
repelled an invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong decades ago. Deciphering the
enigmatic secrets of Zonama Sekot just might turn the tides of a
relentless war.
Aboard the Jade Shadow, Luke, his wife Mara, Jacen Solo, and other Jedi
head off into the Unknown Regions, where rumors and clues suggest Zonama
Sekot might be found. Yet the mission has barely begun when the
searchers stumble into a horrific battle. The Imperial Remnant, in
retreat from the mighty Yuuzhan Vong, is about to be destroyed. It would
seem those aboard the Jade Shadow have little choice but to leave the
Empire to its fate. But these are no ordinary space travelers, they are
Jedi. . . .
