The Force is with Jonathan Davis as he reads the twelfth installment of the New Jedi Order series. Twenty-five years after the events in STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE (and sixty years after STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE) the new Jedi Knights, along with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker, Han and Leia Organa Solo, are struggling against Yuuzhan Vong invaders who have taken over the New Republic when they come against a genetically enhanced Dark Jedi. The program's three hours aren't adequate for the novel's many subplots. As such, listeners may be left confused by the gaps. But Davis's reading is perfect, and the music and sound effects do well to enhance the story's stellar flavor. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
Book Description
Not since Emperor Palpatine have the Jedi battled such monstrous evil. Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed.
Luke Skywalker’s daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong’s nefarious plot to overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts. And time is slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet whose rulers are about to yield to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the Jedi rebels.
On Coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting complete control. But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are thrust into a fierce battle for their lives. Suddenly, the chances of escaping appear nearly impossible. And in space, another battle rages, one that holds ominous consequences for the New Republic—and for the Jedi themselves. . . .
