Product Description

Product Description

The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo’s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic Alliance.

Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall to the dark side–and to learn what’s turning peaceful Jedi into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her capture by Natasi Daala’s police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala’s iron will–at the expense of the Jedi Order.

But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much interesting that I tought, Jul 25 2009
By Simon Robitaille (Quebec) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Omen (Hardcover)
Wow! This second tome of Fate of the Jedi is, if not outstanding, vrey much interesting. Despite the fact that Christie Golden is new to the Star Wars universe (not to the SF series tough), she was able to coax action, novelty and humor all in the same book. Not all women (no sexism intended here... just a general remark that women tend to be more melodramatic and romantic then men... Elaine Cunningham and Kathy Tyers are good examples not to follow... Karen Traviss is great but loves Mando too much sometimes) are able to do that so wonderfully.

This book is fun, witty and the emerging lost Tribe of the Sith, unfortunately not fully brought into action for now, promise great deal of opposition and entertainment for our greatest pleasure.

In fact, the only bad thing about this book and the Fate of the Jedi series in general is that all the books are Hardcovers and therefore expensive. If you are a Del Rey/Star Wars representative, please take note of this and please, come back to series with maximum 3 hardcovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Golden comes though, Jun 24 2009
This review is from: Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Omen (Hardcover)
Yeah. That was short. It just kind of smacked into me at page 236. I hadn't factored in the Abyss preview. I don't think this book is a tough call. Golden alright. She had a handle on the characters and rhythm of a SW book. It was lacking at least one subplot to lengthen the book. An ACTION driven plot perhaps? Han, Leia and and gang go to a petting zoo? I actually liked the short sequence but that's all they're given? Not that I want them galavanting to some moon having a (seemingly) irrelevant adventure as in Outcast.

I like the Force-Crazy plot, which didn't really develop any further than in Outcast, but I have to ask myself, why break out The Lost Tribe now? It looks like the Jedi are self-destructing quite well on their own. Finally, though, we have a bevy of plots and none of them Mandolorian. All good things.;)

I thought the Aing-Tii plot was better and a bit more thoughtful than the Baran Do adventure but in the end Luke and Ben kind of brought another stagnant Force culture to adapt to changing times. Honestly, I'd like Luke and Ben to find a group that truly challenges Luke Skywalker. He's breezed through the Baran Do and Aing-Tii material like Einstein in eighth grade remedial math.

I like Vestara. I like this Sith. They seem more ancient and less like vampires. Less comic book-esque. The One Sith is great for Legacy but I'm glad they're gone from The FOTJ playing field.

Though it wasn't a page turner, I enjoyed everything Golden gave us. What little she did give us.

A thoughtful and fun if not criminally short excuse for a hardcover.
