No war can last forever. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand. With so much lost?and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake?there can be no turning back. No matter the consequences.

The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon?s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine?s. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus.

It?s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather

Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.

Failure is not an option. The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome?and the fate of those left standing.

One long, delicious amusement park ride

Jacen Solo, son of Princess Leia and Han Solo, has become Darth Caedus - Sith Master. Harnessing the Force's dark side with phenomenal abilities, he strives to unite the galaxy under his rule. He believes that creating this reincarnated empire will bring peace, so children like his own small daughter can grow up in a safety his generation has never known. Not that he can openly acknowledge Allana; to do so would doom her, something her mother (a Jedi knight and reigning queen) also knows.

Jacen's twin sister, Jaina, holds out a stubborn hope for his redemption even as she trains to kill him. Luke Skywalker prophesied that Jaina would become the Sword of the Jedi, on the day he made her a knight; and that means she's the only person besides Luke himself who may be able to bring Darth Caedus down. Luke cannot take on the task himself because he knows it would turn him to the dark side. Darth Caedus murdered Luke's wife, and executing his nephew without enjoying his vengeance is more than even Master Skywalker can manage.

This book is one long, delicious amusement park ride. The author has the characters nailed, and that makes the moments when Luke, Leia and Han are "on stage" a delight. Of course this is where the future would take them! As for the Solo offspring, and Luke's only child, Ben - just right, too. Never mind about continuity with the prequel movies. Whoever decided to keep going with the Star Wars "futureverse" as postulated in the novels made the right decision.

Invincible Pretty Good

I liked it. It wrapped up the series a little fast, but you cannot have everything fit in to one neat little box. I'm waiting to see what happens next.
