Synopsis

The New Jedi Order continues as Jaina Solo struggles with anger and despair after the Jedi Knights’ harrowing adventure behind enemy lines.

Though the Jedi strike force completed its deadly mission into Yuuzhan Vong territory, the price of success was tragedy: not everyone made it out alive. In a daring getaway, hotshot pilot Jaina Solo stole an enemy ship, taking along her fellow survivors—and leaving behind a huge piece of her heart.

With the enemy in hot pursuit, Jaina is forced to seek haven in the unprotected, unfriendly Hapes Cluster, where the Jedi are held responsible for a past tragedy—and where the royal family has grim plans for their famous Jedi guest. Even more sinister are the intentions of the Yuuzhan Vong, desperate to capture Jaina for a hideous sacrifice.

Grief-stricken and obsessed with revenge, Jaina is blind to these threats—and to the overpowering evil dangerously close to consuming her. In the coming conflagration, Jaina will be fighting not for victory or vengeance, but for her very being.

Definitely not the best installment in the series. It felt like not all that much happened, and one big question was left unanswered after the final page. I'm glad Elaine Cunningham only wrote one book in this series.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on July 21, 2024

Enjoyed this quite a bit actually, read it faster than any other NJO book so far, so it must have been good? Jaina is the main focus of this book and she's great. We pick up right after the previous book, Star by Star and we learn how Jaina and friends deal with the aftermath. The main plot of the se......more

Goodreads review by Scott on December 18, 2015

Elaine Cunningham's "Dark Journey" is, if looked at carefully, an attempt to write a Jane Austen novel set in the Star Wars Expanded universe. It's basically "Pride and Prejudice" with lightsabers and X-wings. If that sounds like a negative criticism of the book, it's not. I actually liked it, quite......more

Goodreads review by Caleb Likes Books on September 25, 2023

Well, this was… not bad, but a little disapponting after the incredible book that was Star by Star. I predict this will be one of the more forgettable NJO books as time goes on. There was some good here. I really enjoyed several of the characters, predominantly Jaina and Kyp but also the OT trio, Ma......more
