Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash

Three major storylines run through the Fate of the Jedi series. One is the odyssey of Jedi Grand-Master-in-Exile Luke Skywalker and his son Ben, as they travel from one world of non-Jedi Force-users to the next in search of clues as to what might have turned Jacen Solo to embrace the evil ways of the Sith Lords. The second is the attempts of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala to break the power of the Jedi Order, while young Jedi Knights on a variety of worlds are inexplicably going

insane. And the third is the tale of a previously unknown lost tribe of Sith as they rejoin the known galaxy determined to kill Luke Skywalker, destroy all the Jedi, and reinstate the Sith as supreme rulers. In Backlash, Luke and Ben will visit the deadly world of Dathomir, home to the Night Sisters, otherwise known as the Dathomiri Witches, as an ancient evil, released from its prison, stretches its hungry tendrils ever farther through the galaxy...

Reviews

fast paced and well executed

Reading Backlash put me pleasantly in mind of reading other, older novels set in the Star Wars universe, with the same sense of adventure and excellent approach to action and intrigue... Recommended for all fans of the genre and overall series.

It is a marvellously suggestive novel...a parable of modern America, and by extension of modern life

—— AN Wilson, , Daily Telegraph

The first and greatest modern novel, it has beautiful women, lavish parties, romance, betrayal and murder woven together in an intricately structured plot. A prescient comment on the dying days of a gilded age that is brilliant entertainment with a very eloquent insight

—— Mirror

His masterpiece, an elegy for the American Dream, the greatest lost cause of them all

—— Los Angeles Times

His glorious prose captures ephemeral glamour magically

—— Independent

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings

—— Ernest Hemingway

Read it again, forever

—— Boston Globe
