Product Description
Repercussions from the dark side’s fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the Mind Walkers and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now Masterless Sith apprentice. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of powerful dark side Force-wielders will give Vestara the edge she needs to escape—and 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 from Coruscant to safe haven in the Transitory Mists and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver has intensified Daala’s fury, and she is determined to shatter Jedi Order resistance once and for all.
Yet no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing—and life-altering—encounter of untold magnitude and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.

As a Star Wars fan I am excited by any new book, and this series has been very good for the most part.

Another quality addition to the Fate of the Jedi series, and as with all of them, definitely leaves you wanting to pick up the next one right away. It was unfortunate that this book had to be delayed so long due to Allston's health problems, but I look forward to getting the next book soon.
 Really Weak Entry in the series. April 24, 2010

Slow, ponderous and boring. Also making the sith not really bad guys is ridiculous. Moral relativism has no place in star wars. At least real star wars if you discount the garbage prequels.
The preview of the next book Allies was better than this whole book. Second weak book by Allston, Christie Golden will probably hit another one out of the park, and Denning's next will be middle of the road, or stink based on previous efforts.
While Allston was never as good as Stackpole at least his Entries in the X-wing series were pretty good, like Solo Command.
He does politics, military and regular characters right, but really fails when it comes to writing Jedi Or Sith.
The books lack excitement or the fun of the swashbuckling adventures of the original trilogy, and you would think the guy who wrote doc sidhe would know pulp fiction from garbage treatises on Religion and Politics, or moral relativism.

This is book four in the "Fate of the Jedi" series. Luke and Ben have just left the Maw cluster after killing Vestara Khai's master. Now, the Skywalkers have followed Vestara to the planet Dathomir. Once on the planet, Ben and Luke discover that it is governed by several different clans, and each seems to be in conflict with the others. Also on the planet are the mysterious Nightsisters, dark-force users who have given Vestara the edge she needs to escape. But, Luke and Ben have tracked Vestara and are determined to capture her. However, Vestata has managed to summon her Sith allies, setting up a potential battle between the Skywalkers and the Sith.
Han Solo and Leia are engaged with Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala in negotiations to free the crazed Jedi who have been frozen in carbonite. Will these negotiations pay off, or will Daala attempt to lure Han and Leia into something more dangerous? Head of State Jagged Fel is facing assassination attempts from opponents who seek his title.
I've enjoyed this series of Star Wars books. I especially like them because the original characters of Luke, Leia, and Han are included. Each book so far has been packed with action, and the story has continued to build. Characters remain from book to book, so the reader can readily identify with them.
I recommend this book as well as the others in the series. Star Wars fans will surely enjoy this fine series.
