The Jedi move one step closer



to saving the embattled galaxy-only to confront



a formidable wall



of resistance..







The harrowing search for



Zonama Sekot if finally



over for Luke Skywalker,



Jacen Solo, and others aboard the Jade Shado. But joy



turns to alarm when the living planet



sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back



to a galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery.







While Luke works feverishly to persuade the elusive



planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launch a full-



scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance. Sent



to defend a major communicating base, Han and Leia



find themselves hopelessly outnumbered.



Reinforcements are just too far away to help before



everything is destroyed. So the courageous pair must



now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering odds.



Whether they actually survive is another matter..
