[edit] Summary
Honor and duty collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict.
When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush - from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives - it's the most alarming evidence yet that political unrest is threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire.
Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations. Meanwhile Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader. If Luke's visions come to pass, they will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master . . . and to the galaxy.
[edit] Plot
36 years after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker are sent on a mission to disable the planet of Corellia's new independent weapons.

[edit] Errors
- The character name "Lysa Dunter" from the Dramatis Personae and her first appearance is later given as "Lysa Dunton"
- Due to the date change from 37 years after ANH to 40 years afterward, an editing mistake accidentally moved Zekk's age from a few years older than Jacen and Jaina Solo to a few years younger. It has been acknowledged as an error.
