Description
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.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

        While Luke Skywalker and son Ben seek answers that will allow them to return from exile, their friends and surviving family deal with the aftermath of the devastating civil war described in the "Legacy of the Force" series. In this first in a projected nine-book series chronicling the future of the new Republic, Star Wars® veteran Allston ("Betrayal"), one of three authors for the series, captures the feel of this popular space opera while creating new directions for familiar characters. Purchase for inevitable demand.

        Jacen Solo is dead, but the damage caused by his time as a Sith can still be felt, and suspicion of the Jedi runs high. Amid this atmosphere of mistrust, Luke Skywalker is charged with war crimes for not keeping Jacen in check, and after Jedi Knight Valin Horn goes crazy and tries to kill his family, Luke pleads guilty and is exiled from Coruscant. Setting off with only his teenage son, Ben, for company, Luke searches for the key to Jacens turn to the Dark Side, while Han and Leia help Lando with a crisis in the spice mines of Kessel. Fast moving and thrilling, with a tight and well-developed plot, Outcast is the first of a new nine-book series, to be written by Allston, Troy Denning, and Christie Golden. The extended Skywalker family is the focus of the series; Luke, Han, and Leia may be 40 years older, but their personalities havent changed, and long-term Star Wars fans will be happy to welcome back old friends from both the books and the movies. An exciting addition to the Star Wars saga and a very promising beginning to a new series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
