As the bloodied and weary galaxy faces battle once more, the Jedi take on the formidable task of bringing the last of the Empire into the light....

From the ashes of the New Republic - torn to shreds by the savage Yuuzhan Vong forces - the newly formed Galactic Alliance has risen, determined to bring peace to the entire galaxy.  But first the Yuuzhan Vong must be contained once and for all.  And so Luke Skywalker seeks a world long lost to legend: Zonama Sekot, a sentient planet believed to have repelled an invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong decades ago.  Deciphering the enigmatic secrets of Zonama Sekot just might turn the tide of this relentless war.

Aboard the Jade Shadow, Luke, his wife Mara, Jacen Solo, and other Jedi head off into the Unknown Regions, where rumors and clues suggest Zonama Sekot might be found.  Yet the mission has barely begun when the searchers stuble into a horrific battle.  The Imperial Remnant, in retreat from the mighty Yuuzhan Vong, is about to be destroyed.  It would seem those aboard the Jade Shadow have little choice but to leave the Empire to its fate.  But these are no ordinary space travelors, they are Jedi....

Swift and deadly, the Yuuzhan Vong have blasted their way across the galaxy - and now stand on the threshold of total victory.  Yet a courageous few still dare to oppose them....

Rife with hostile cultures and outright enemies, the Unknown Regions hold many perils for Luke Skywalker and the Jedi searching for Zonama Sekot, the living planet that may hold the key to dealing with the Yuuzhan Vong once and for all.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the galaxy and in the heart of a trusted ally, an old enemies are stirring.  The Yuuzhan Vong have inflamed long-forgotten vendettas that are even now building up to a crisis point.  And as Han and Leia journey on their quest to knit the unraveling galaxy back together, betrayal and deception await them....

The Jedi move one step closer to saving the embattled galaxy - only to confront a formidable wall of resistance....

The harrowing search for Zonama Sekot is finally over for Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the others aboard the Jade Shadow.  But joy turns to alarm when the living planet sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back to a galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery.

While Luke works feverishly to persuade the elusive planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launch a full-scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance.  Sent to defend a major communications base, Han and Leia find themselves hopelessly outnumbered.  Reinforcements are just too far away to help before everything is destroyed.  So the courageous pair must now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering odds.  Whether they actually survive is another matter....
