The ruthless Yuuzhan Vong seek an opportunity to rid the galaxy of the Jedi. With no help from the squabbling New Republic, the Jedi face a seemingly invincible foe alone. Han and Leia Solo risk their lives to set in motion a dubious plan to organize the Jedi resistance. Anakin Solo and Tahiri are targeted by the Peace Brigade. Trying to avoid capture, they jump into hyperspace... but upon exiting, an even greater danger awaits them. Hunted by the Yuuzhan Vong, wanted as criminals throughout the New Republic, and torn apart by the turmoil within their own ranks, the Jedi risk extinction. And ahead is a battle that will determine their destinies... Meanwhile, the galaxy is awaiting the birth of one very special child - the heir to the Skywalker line.
