[edit] Publisher's summary

Somewhere in the galaxy, millions suddenly perish—a disruption of the Force so shocking it is felt by Luke at his Jedi academy and by Leia on Coruscant. While Leia must deal with an assassination attempt, a rumored plot against the New Republic, and allegations that Han Solo is involved, Luke seeks out a former Jedi student who may hold the key to the mass destruction. But Brakiss is only the bait in a deadly trap set by a master of the dark side who is determined to rule as emperor. He's targeted Luke, Leia, and Leia's Jedi children to die. Then billions will follow, in a holocaust unequaled in galactic history.

[edit] Plot

[edit] Summary

The Dark Jedi Kueller sets in motion a plan to bring down the New Republic and the new generation of Jedi. First, he kills over a million innocent natives of the planet Pydyr and then sets off a bomb in the New Republic Senate Hall.

As Jedi Master Luke Skywalker searches for the one behind all of this, Leia Organa Solo has her own problems with conflicts within the New Republic Senate and the framing of her husband Han Solo by the smuggler Jarril, who is held responsible for the senate bombings.

After long battles, both against Kueller and New Republic Senators, the conflict is resolved. In the skies above the planet Almania, Kueller's fleet is destroyed by the New Republic fleet under the command of Wedge Antilles. Kueller is defeated by Luke Skywalker after a furious lightsaber battle. Meanwhile in the senate a "No Confidence Vote" against Leia utterly fails.
