There’s something out there: A juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it. Revan: Hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear.

Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy - until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest to enslave the galaxy and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full potential of the Sith, and wield the awesome power of the dark side as never before.

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.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace...Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in the High Republic.
It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm. But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.
When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives.
Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbours a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi's heart.

Light of the Jedi - A must read for any SW fan
Light of the Jedi, written by Charles Soule and narrated by Marc Thompson, is a must read Star Wars Adult novel.
Set a few hundred years before TPM, I highly doubted that this new era alongside this novel will be any good due to a lack of any dark side characters, meaning no 'true' lightsaber fights. But OH MY! How I misjudged this novel and this era of the High Republic.
The novel is successful in sucking the audience in for more, alongside the first third of the novel including a major event that is spoken majorly in many other High Republic pieces. Light of the Jedi is enjoyable, and is a flame for many other books for this new but ancient era.
I highly recommend it and remember... we are the republic.
May the force be with you.

A solid step in the right direction.
The book starts off a little slow, and becomes tedious at times.
But as it develops it becomes rather enjoyable.
The addition of a new enemy aside from the usual Sith empire is a welcomed change.
The book doesn't rely too heavily on individual characters, most are forgettable with a few exceptions.
The deaths of jedi masters seems to pass like the wind with little to no real pause, which considering the history, you would think they would put more into that line following it up.
But it was a pleasant 13 hours and I look forwards to the next book

overall interesting story
Can become quite confusing at times, especially hard with all the unusual names and how quickly they are introduced. Over all though it is quite a different and thrilling story.

Leaves you hanging
The story was okay but they should be a book 2. This book let you know what the Jedi could do (more than what they could do in the movies) and what they are about. a 2nd book could be a great story.

Excellent.
I found it a great storyline explaining how the hyperspace wars started, and doesn’t overdo the fact that the old republic and the Jedi order were far from perfect. The idea that the Jedi were failing and turning to the dark side if they became enraged by attack on the weak by pitiless predators is eloquently refuted. Great read and well written and performed.

An attempt
Marc Thompson is an incredible narrator and voice actor, hands down he is what makes Star Wars audio books excellent.
This new era of the ‘High Republic’ has so much promise and potential but based on this first book, we’re back to having inexplicable, hyperspace super weapons that destroy things instantly. Surprisingly there is no satisfactory explanations as to why this method was not used for the destruction of the Death Star’s, Starkiller Base or even under the Tarkin Doctrine to generate fear amongst insurgents and Rebels. It really is a breakpoint for Star Wars, hyperspace is a crucial component to the Sci-Fantasy and making a inconsistent universe sandwich is lore-breaking and tells us that some people don’t care about the rules that this universe’ creator, George Lucas, made.
Lastly if anyone has read this far, the characters are okay and seem to be thought out with actual story arcs, I don’t feel any connection to them yet and struggle to remember their names but hopefully listening to more from this era they will gain more dimensions and become more iconic.
