To my editor
BETSY MITCHELL,
for giving me the oportunity to play
in such a vast and entertaining universe
and for helping shape my work into
the best it could be.
The black hole cluster near Kessel reached out for the Millennium Falcon with jaws of gravity, drawing it close.

It was the perfect place to train a new order of Jedi Knights.
Comments may contain spoilers
This started it all for the Star Wars books.  This was the first one I read (other than the novelizations and The Splinter of the Mind's Eye way back when) and it made me want to read more.  It didn't hurt that (at the time at least) these books were considered Star Wars canon.

VOLUME 1 OF THE JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY

STAR WARS

JEDI SEARCH

As the war between the Republic and the scattered remnants of the Empire continues, two children - the Jedi Twins - will come into their powers in a universe on the brink of vast changes and challenges in this time of turmoil and discovery, an extraordinary new Star Wars saga begins....

While Luke Skywalker takes the first step toward setting up an academy to train a new order of Jedi Knights.  Han Solo and Chewbacca are taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine.  But when Han and Chewie break away, they flee desperately to a secret Imperial research laboratory surrounded by a cluster of black holes - and go from one danger to a far greater one...  On Kessel, Luke picks up the trail of his two friends, only to come face-to-face with a weapon so awesome, it can wipe out an entire solar system.  It is a death ship called the Sun Crusher, invented by a reclusive genius and piloted by none other than Han himself.…

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
