Synopsis

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force—and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.
 
Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key—risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je’daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved—and whose life she must now fear.

Goodreads review by Khurram on February 04, 2025

This book is a prequel to Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi Volume 1-Force Storm (Star Wars : Dawn of the Jedi). Let me rephrase that it is a prequel to the main story of Force Storm. Issue 0 & 1 offers a much more comprehensive history about the Dawn of the Jedi era. Luckily for me, I had already read th......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on July 15, 2016

Really probably 2.5 - this book for me was rather mediocre and here are a few reasons why: - This was the first Star Wars book I have read that does not include characters and storyline related to the original. You might say "Matthew, you went into this knowing it is long before the original trilogy"......more

Goodreads review by Don on June 19, 2013

Okay, would it have killed Lebbon to have written the book in one tense? It really made the flashbacks kind of annoying. I was actually thinking of just skipping them because they really didn't add anything to plot. The rest of the book was just okay. Problem #1 is that Lanoree Brock really isn't all......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on July 20, 2013

I have a a lot of friends who like the Star Wars books, so I hope I don't annoy them. I just read a review of a book I like immensely where the reviewer said she found the characters whiny and the dialogue wooden... I listed the entire series among my favorites. Obviously I disagree. So, some of you......more

Goodreads review by Allison on December 28, 2020

Isn't it frustrating when you read a book and you don't know how to rate it because you ADORE the sidekick but hate the MC, found the story intriguing, but stumbled over the plot holes, loved the world building, but didn't see enough, and were repulsed by REALLY problematic moral issues that were ne......more


Quotes

“In a story filled with adventure, intrigue, and great quotes, there’s a lot to like in this book. Tim Lebbon dives into his very first Star Wars story with a great deal of success. He manages to spin a tale that feels like Star Wars, but also feels different from other stories that have been told before. While there is some threat of system wide destruction, the point is never pushed to being ridiculous. The characters feel believable and provoke interest. The attention to the characters never takes away from the plot. There’s also a remarkable balance between world building, plot and character development, and action. When it comes down to it, Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void is just great storytelling.”—Roqoo Depot
 
“A nice, compact Star Wars tale that both acts as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi period and a standalone story.”—Club Jade
 
“A solidly enjoyable read . . . a nice addition to the Expanded Universe.”—Tosche Station
 
“A good solid Star Wars adventure story with heart.”—Knights’ Archive
