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.

The intrepid spies, pilots, and sharpshooters of Wraith Squadron
are back in an all-new "Star Wars" adventure, which transpires just
after the events of the Fate of the Jedi series
Wraith Squadron: The elite X-wing unit of rogues and misfits who
became legends of the Rebellion, specializing in carrying out the
most dangerous and daring operations before breaking up and going
their separate ways. Now, three decades later, their singular
skills are back in demand for a tailor-made Wraith Squadron
mission.
A powerful general in the Galactic Alliance Army, once renowned
for his valor, is suspected of participating in a conspiracy that
nearly succeeded in toppling the Alliance back into the merciless
hands of the Empire. With orders to expose and apprehend the
traitor--and license to do so by any and all means--the Wraiths
will become thieves, pirates, impostors, forgers . . . and targets,
as they put their guts, their guns, and their riskiest game plan to
the test
"A rare entry point for newbies to the "Star Wars" expanded
universe.""--Kirkus Reviews"
The hunt for Warlord Zsinj intensifies as Alliance officials
realize he's a growing danger and threat to the Imperials. The hunt
for his ship the Iron Fist is underway as Rogue Squadron and Wraith
Squadron unite under Wedge's command for the first time. In scenes
reminiscent of the hunt for the Nazi battleship Bismark, Alliance
forces will eventually make an all-out assault on the Super Star
Destroyer.
Die Gespensterstaffel gegen die Schergen der "Eisenfaust"! Ein
Leckerbissen fur alle Star-Wars-Fans!
Kriegsherr Zsinj, Herr des Super-Sternenzerstorers "Eisenfaust,"
wird plotzlich zur groten Bedrohung der Neuen Republik. Wedge
Antilles, der Kommandeur der Gespensterstaffel, schmiedet einen
kuhnen Plan, den allerdings nur ein Mann durchfuhren kann, der
ebenso gerissen ist wie Zsinj selbst: Han Solo, die lebende Legende
aus dem Krieg gegen das Imperium. Doch als die morderische Schlacht
beginnt, tauchen die Feinde aus vollig unerwarteter Richtung
auf.
Wraith Squadron: they are the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force. Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the first in battle, the last line of defense. Now they must find and destroy a wily enemy more powerful than the Empire itself.
Their covert mission has been a success. The enemy has been vanquished. Or so they thought. The Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist somehow escaped destruction and with it the New Republic's greatest threat, the infamous warlord Zsinj. To defeat him, Wraith Squadron must join a combat task force led by the only man crafty enough to beat Zsinj at his own game: Han Solo.
But Zsinj knows the X-wing fighters' indomitable courage is both their greatest strength--and their greatest weakness. For even against the most overwhelming odds, the Rebels will fight to the death. And that will leave Zsinj the galaxy's unchallenged master!
Fighting alongside the Corellian rebels, Han and Leia are locked in
a war against their son Jacen, who grows more powerful and more
dangerous with each passing day. Nothing can stop Jacen's
determination to bring peace with a glorious Galactic Alliance
victory-whatever the price.
While Luke grieves the loss of his beloved wife and deals with his
guilt over killing the wrong person in retaliation, Jaina, Jag, and
Zekk hunt for the real assassin, unaware that the culprit commands
Sith powers that can cloud their minds and misdirect their
attacks-and even turn them back on themselves.
As Luke and Ben Skywalker struggle to find their place among the
chaos, Jacen, shunned by friends and family, launches an invasion
to rescue the only person still loyal to him. But with the battle
raging on, and the galaxy growing more turbulent and riotous,
there's no question that it is Jacen who is most wanted: dead or
alive.
Locked in a war of wills and weapons, the Jedi Order and the
Galactic Alliance must come to terms--before the Sith's army of
darkness enacts revenge.
Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo
and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue
to wreak galaxywide havoc. Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of
the now Masterless Sith apprentice--a chase that leads to the
forbidding planet Dathomir, where the Skywalkers will be forced
into combat for their quarry and their lives. Meanwhile, Han and
Leia have completed their own desperate mission, shuttling
madness-stricken Jedi to safe haven beyond the grasp of Galactic
Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. Yet no greater threat exists
than Abeloth, a being of ravenous dark-side energy who calls out to
Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of
answers for survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of
conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing encounter of untold
magnitude with unimaginable consequences.
THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY OF THE STAR WARS
GALAXY BEGINS HERE. . . .
After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the
now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis-and in
need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military
leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore
order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their
unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is
the future of the Jedi.
In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest
of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the
dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But
it's only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a
hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin
Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a
mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the
Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch hunt. Facing
conviction on the damning charges, Luke must strike a bargain with
the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile from
Coruscant and from the Jedi Order.
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 Valin
Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom
the Jedi Order . . . and devastate the entire galaxy.
"From the Hardcover edition."
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. . . .
They are the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force--sleek, swift, and deadly. For these X-wing fighters, no job is too dirty or too dangerous. Now they must rise to meet an impossible challenge: stop a powerful warlord by pretending to be his ally.
Against all odds, the controversial Wraith Squadron has survived its first covert mission. But now they are called upon to cheat death twice. This time Wedge Antilles sends them in to stop the warlord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. If Zsinj joins the Empire, it could turn the tide of war against the Rebels. The Wraith Squadron's mission: infiltrate the warlord's fleet and uncover his carefully guarded plans. To do so, they must pose as ruthless pirates seeking to join Zsinj's forces. And that means first becoming pirates in space lanes teeming with Imperial Navy patrols. If that isn't enough to get them killed, they'll have to pass one last test--a suicide mission for Zsinj.
Can they survive the test and turn the tables on Zsinj?
Or is this the end for Wraith Squadron?
Book 9 in the exciting series!
The X-wing fighter pilots have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force by overwhelming enemies with their rapid-fire assaults. But now they are about to embark on a diplomatic mission that will prove to be even more hazardous than all-out combat....
The neutral world of Adumar has decided to pick a side in the war to control the galaxy. Delegates from both the New Republic and the Empire have been invited to Adumar, and each camp will be given a chance to plead its government's case. But there is one small catch: since the Adumari prize military skill above all else, they insist that both delegations be composed exclusively of fighter pilots. For pilot Wedge Antilles and his company, it's an unfamiliar exercise in diplomacy--and one that's filled with unexpected peril. For once they arrive, the X-wing pilots are challenged by Adumar's fierce warriors and attacked by Imperial assassins bent on eliminating all competition. But these challenges pale in comparison to the threat posed by a rogue Republic agent...one who is determined to win Adumar's allegiance once and for all--even if it costs the X-wing pilots their lives.
They are the galaxy's most elite fighting force. And as the battle against the Empire rages, the X-wing fighters risk life and machine to protect the Rebel Alliance. Now they must go on a daring undercover mission--as the crew of an Imperial warship.
It is Wedge Antilles' boldest creation: a covert-action unit of X-wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs of other units, castoffs and rejects given one last chance. But before the new pilots can complete their training, the squadron's base is attacked by former Imperial admiral Trigit, and Wraith Squadron is forced to swing into action--taking over an Imperial warship and impersonating its crew. The mission: to gain vital intelligence about Trigit's secret weapons, to sabotage the admiral's plans, and to lure him into an Alliance trap. But the high-stakes gamble pits Wraith Squadron's ragtag renegades against the Empire's most brilliant master of guile and deception.
Are they up to the challenge?
If not, the penalty is instant death.

for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the dark side. But it's

Evil is on the move as the Galactic Alliance and Jedi Order battle
forces seen and unseen, from rampant internal treachery to the
nightmare of all-out war in this fourth original novel featuring
the classic heroes in the epic nine-book sequel to the New Jedi
Order series. Original.
This is the era of Luke Skywalker's legacy: the Jedi Master has
unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi Knights.
However, as this era begins, planetary interests threaten to
disrupt this time of relative peace and Luke is plagued by visions
of an approaching darkness. Melding the galaxy into one cohesive
political whole after the savage war with the Yuuzhan Vong is not
the easiest task, and already some worlds are chafing under the
demands of the new government. Civil war may be brewing, and the
Skywalker-Solo clan find that they might not all be on the same
side. Meanwhile, evil is rising again--out of the best
intentions--and it looks like the legacy of the Skywalkers may come
full circle...
