Outcast: Star Wars Legends (Fate of the Jedi)
Outcast: Star Wars Legends (Fate of the Jedi) | Aaron Allston
THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY OF THE STAR WARS GALAXY BEGINS HERE. . . . After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis–and in need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi. In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo’s turn to the dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it’s only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch hunt. Facing conviction on the damning charges, Luke must strike a bargain with the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile from Coruscant and from the Jedi Order. Though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo’s corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest–and life as he knows it–to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the Jedi Order . . . and devastate the entire galaxy. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

I was in the mood for a Star Wars audiobook and libby has the whole of this series, so here I go. It wasn‘t bad, it wasn‘t brilliant, it had its moments and it distracted me. So I guess, cool?! It‘s a bit weird with the old Star Wars canon, jumping in to a really long involved timeline. I do like reading about Han and leia happily married so I love the old books for that main reason really.

Having only read a couple Star Wars books that took place during Darth Vader‘s era I found this one very interesting from a future perspective. I like reading about our heroes grown and with children of their own as they continue to try and protect the galaxy. I am extremely interested in reading more about Jacen in future books!

Outcast is the first book in the Fate of the Jedi series. Anti-Jedi sentiment on Coruscant forces Luke and his son Ben to leave the planet. They use the opportune to retrace Jacen Solo's steps, hoping to discover why Luke's nephew fell to the Dark side.
