Somewhere in the galaxy,
millions suddenly perish in a blinding instant of pain, anguish,
and despair--a disruption of the Force so shocking, it is felt by
Luke at his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 and by Leia at home on
Coruscant. It is a deed that rivals the terrifying power of
the Death Star, the long-destroyed weapon of the defeated
Empire. But where did it happen? And how? And
why?
Then death comes to
Coruscant itself. As Leia, head of the New Republic,
prepares to address the Senate, a massive explosion rocks the
meeting hall, decimating the Senate's ranks. Leia survives
and recovers, only to be faced with calls to resign from
office. Even worse, some of the Senators lay the blame for
the attack on Han Solo.
As Leia works desperately to
clear Han's name, Han and Chewbacca journey to the lawless
asteroids of Smuggler's Run to track down rumors of a secret plot
against the New Republic. And Luke goes in search of
Brakiss, a former Jedi student who has turned his considerable
talents to the dark side of the Force and might well have been
involved in the unexplained deaths of millions that so disturbed
Luke and Leia. But Brakiss is only a small part of the
carnage taking place on Coruscant and elsewhere. Luke is
being stalked by a master of the dark side who is determined to
rule as the next emperor. Luke, Leia, and Leia's Jedi
children are targeted to die. Then billions will follow, in
a holocaust unequaled in galactic history.
