Synopsis

In the aftermath of one tragedy,
will a young Jedi’s search for redemption
lead to yet another?

There is no place else to channel the flood of refugees fleeing the murderous Yuuzhan Vong but the overcrowded planet Duro, poisoned by centuries of technological excess. Fortunately a deal is struck: In exchange for a new home, the refugees will work to restore the planet to health, under the watchful eye of Leia Organa Solo.

While tempers flare between the Duros and the New Republic, Han Solo, his son, Jacen, and the Ryn called Droma arrive to keep the peace. They are unaware that Leia is on Duro . . . and that Luke, Mara, and Anakin are on their way, searching for a missing Jedi apprentice. And none realize that the Yuuzhan Vong have chosen this embattled planet as the next target in their brutal coreward thrust.

Now, as the fragile stability on Duro threatens to collapse into violence, Jacen Solo must face his greatest dilemma: At what point does the use of power become aggression? Whatever he decides, his next step could tip the galaxy’s destiny toward the light or toward darkness–with the life of someone he loves hanging in the balance . . .

Goodreads review by Scott on November 06, 2015

So, in this episode of "All Leia's Children" or "The Yuuzhan Vong and the Restless": Leia and Han are still having marital problems, but it's nothing that a former-smuggler-turned-hero-of-the-Rebellion and an Alderaanian princess can't handle. Jaina Solo is injured when her X-wing is shot down by a Yu......more

Another solid New Jedi Order book—probably not one of my favorite entries thus far, but a good one. There are two big things I really enjoyed in this book. The first is the characters, especially Jacen Solo. He was fantastic in this book and I loved the personal conflict he dealt with. The other cha......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on February 08, 2021

It's less a story than a series of chess moves to take us to the next big moment in the Vong invasion saga, but it certainly succeeds in its character work (if a bit repetitive on the woe-is-me-Jacen Solo front). I believe this is far superior to Kathy Tyers' work on "Truce at Bakura"; anyone who ca......more
