Following a trail of clues across the galaxy, Luke Skywalker
continues his quest to find the reasons behind Jacen Solo's dark
downfall and to win redemption for the Jedi Order. Sojourning among
the mysterious Aing-Tii monks has left Luke and his son Ben with no
real answers, only the suspicion that the revelations they seek lie
in the forbidden reaches of the distant Maw Cluster. There, hidden
from the galaxy in a labyrinth of black holes, dwell the Mind
Walkers: those whose power to transcend their bodies and be one
with the Force is as seductive and intoxicating as it is
potentially fatal. But it may be Luke's only path to the truth.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, the war of wills between Galactic Alliance
Chief of State Natasi Daala and the Jedi Order is escalating.
Outraged over the carbonite freezing of young Jedi Knights Valin
and Jysella Horn after their inexplicable mental breakdowns, the
Jedi are determined to defy Daala's martial tactics, override
Council Master Kenth Hamner's wavering leadership, and deal on
their own terms with the epidemic of madness preying on their
ranks. As Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina, join
the fight to protect more stricken Knights from arrest, Jedi
healers race to find a cure for the rapidly spreading affliction.
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, to a
nexus of dark-side energy unprecedented in its power and its
hunger, and to an explosive confrontation between opposing wielders
of the Force from which only one Master-good or evil-can emerge
alive.
