Star wars, fate of the Jedi

As a strange plague of madness continues to influence the young Jedi causing destruction across the galaxy, Luke and Ben Skywalker navigate a variety of dangers to chase down a masterless Sith apprentice; Han and Leia shuttle insane Jedi to safety on Coruscant; and the dark-side energy called the Abeloth threatens everything in its path from the depths of the Maw Cluster.

As the Jedi deal on their own terms with the epidemic of madness preying on their ranks, Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina, join the fight to protect more stricken Knights from arrest. But none of them realize the blaster barrel is already swinging in their direction--and Chief Daala is about to pull the trigger. Nor do Luke and Ben, deep in the Maw Cluster and pushing their Force abilities beyond known limits, realize how close they are to the Sith strike squad bent on exterminating the Skywalkers.

Countering growing mistrust in the wake of increasing cases of insanity among the Jedi, Han and Leia flee with three afflicted Jedi, while Luke travels to the homeworld of the Night Sister to learn why Jacen Solo turned to the dark side.

Though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo's corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest--and life as he knows it--to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Jedi Knight Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the Jedi Order...and devastate the entire galaxy.

With the Galactic Alliance still in recovery from the civil war, Luke Skywalker goes on a quest with his son, Ben, to unravel the mystery of what drew Jacen Solo to the dark side.

A precarious alliance between the Jedi and the Sith is compromised by a strange being that reaches out to Luke, interference from the Hutt family, and conflicting edicts by the Galactic Alliance.
