Synopsis

How long can the Jedi remain in power?
How far will the Sith go to rule supreme?
What chance do both stand against Abeloth?

As Luke and Ben Skywalker pursue the formidable dark-side being Abeloth, the Lost Tribe of the Sith is about to be sundered by an even greater power—which will thrust one Dark Lord into mortal conflict with his own flesh-and-blood.

On Coruscant, a political vacuum has left tensions at the boiling point, with factions racing to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Suddenly surrounded by hidden agendas, treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must struggle to keep the GA government from collapsing into anarchy.

The Jedi are committed to maintaining peace and ensuring just rule, but even they are not prepared to take on the combined threats of Sith power, a deposed dictator bent on galaxywide vengeance, and an entity of pure cunning and profound evil hungry to become a god.

Goodreads review by Jonathan on March 24, 2024

And with this entry, Christie Golden levels up in her position among Star Wars authors. This book blows all of the other Fate of the Jedi books out of the water. It is by far the BEST book in the series, and cashes in on the potential of the series. Every plotline in this book was terrific, and they......more

Goodreads review by Adam on March 13, 2024

Really great in the beginning and middle. Some of the political parts are a little convoluted, and worse, have logical fallacies that will make you wish the empire won the war. Now to be fair, it's reflected from real world politics, but for me that's an issue. The government decided upon from the i......more

Goodreads review by Meggie on November 21, 2023

For 2023, I decided to reread the post-NJO books set after the Dark Nest trilogy, especially as I abandoned the Legacy of the Force series after Sacrifice all the way back in 2007. This shakes out to the nine books of the Legacy of the Force series, the nine books of the Fate of the Jedi series, thr......more

Goodreads review by Mike on October 17, 2011

I finally finished listening to the penultimate volume in the Fate of the Jedi series, Ascension by Christie Golden. On the whole the story and pacing feels about even with the rest of the series. How you taken that statement is entirely dependent on how you’ve felt about the series to date. Ascensi......more
