As the Yuuzhan Vong's spectacular conquests continue unchecked, Luke
Skywalker, Han and Leia Solo, and Wedge Antilles are forced to destroy
what they have risked their lives to create. . . .
Scattering like rats before the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of Coruscant,
the panic-stricken members of the New Republic Advisory's Council pause
just long enough to set up a mock defense on nearby Borleias--a
transparent attempt to buy time that fools no one, least of all the
Jedi.
Leia and Han Solo trek from world to world to foment rebellion against
the New Republic's disastrous appeasement policies. But Luke Skywalker
has chosen the most dangerous assignment of all: to sneak into the
Yuuzhan Vong's stronghold on Coruscant. His outrageous scheme to gain
entry is either brilliant or suicidal, depending on the outcome. And
bearing down swiftly on Borleias is a Vong invasion fleet, determined to
destroy the galaxy's remaining defenders. . . .
