Story
The next chapter in the extraordinary history of the star Wars galaxy begins here...After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis - and in need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.

Story
As the Jedi and the Republic focus on internal struggles, a new threat surfaces beyond the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim. An enemy appears from outside known space, bearing weapons and technology unlike anything New Republic scientists have ever seen. Suddenly, Luke, Mara, Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, along with their children, are thrust again into battle. But this time, all their courage, sacrifice, and even the power of the Force itself, may not be enough.

Story
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.

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.

Publisher's Summary
This is the era of Luke Skywalker’s legacy: The Jedi Master has unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi Knights. But as the new era begins, planetary interests threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace, and Luke is plagued with visions of an approaching darkness. Evil is rising again - out of the best intentions - and it looks as if the legacy of the Skywalkers may come full circle. Honor and duty will collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict with potentially devastating repercussions for both families, for the Jedi order, and for the entire galaxy.
When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush - from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives - it’s the most alarming evidence yet that sparks of political unrest are threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The governments of numerous worlds are chafing under the strict regulations of the Galactic Alliance, and diplomatic efforts to enforce compliance are failing. Fearing the worst, the Alliance readies a preemptive display of military might in a bid to bring the rogue worlds in line before an uprising erupts. The designated target of this exercise: planet Corellia - renowned for the brash independence and renegade spirit that have made its favorite son, Han Solo, a legend.
Something of a rogue himself, Jacen is nevertheless duty bound as a Jedi to stand with his uncle, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, on the side of the Galactic Alliance. But when the wary Corellians launch a counterstrike, the Alliance’s show of force - and a secret mission to disable Corellia’s crucial Centerpoint Station - give way to an armed skirmish.
Once the smoke clears, the battle lines are drawn. Now, the specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire. And even as both sides struggle to find a diplomatic solution, mysterious acts of treachery and sabotage threaten peace efforts at every turn.
Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a dark rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations...while Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader - a lethal enemy who strikes like a dark spirit on a mission of doom. An agent of evil who, if Luke’s visions come to pass, will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master...and to the entire galaxy.

Average. too much cut and rushed story
After finishing the thrawn trilogy and hand of thrawn 1-2 this fell flat. Marc Thompson nailed the unique voices in those 5 books especially han solo, all were great impressions of the characters voices. But here there were hardly any differences at all. i couldn't tell if a female or male character was speaking or who at all as they all sound the same. the story itself jumped from point to point giving the impression parts were missing or cut. i can tell there is a decent story there or at least potential but whether i want to invest in the others in the series im not sure yet.

Very ordinary
The abridgement ruined it...
The story made very little sense and it jumped between characters and locations in the space of literally 30 seconds, at times..
The writing was blunt and dialogue was stale.
Marks performance, while not as good as his other readings, saved the book.
Here's hoping that the next in the series is an improvement.

Soulless & stilted don't waste your credits!
I am a huge fan of Marc and have enjoyed other Star Wars audio books by this author but after nearly 2 hours of perseverance hoping it will get better I'm ready to pack it in and stop listening. Something I've never done before with a SW novel! I've enjoyed more than 20 different SW audio books, and this is just so disappointing. I purchased it because I love these characters and wanted to experience more of their journey and development. Don't waste your money on this abridged SW book - it's such poor quality. I am hesitant to try another one after this. Please, Audible, don't diminish the narrator, characters, or the authors by recording abridged versions. For listeners like me who want to go on a journey with the characters, it's such a travesty. This book needs to be recorded again and released in its unabridged format. I feel really sad writing this, but I don't want other listeners to feel as disappointed as I do at the lost opportunity for these characters to be brought to life by Marc with his amazing talent. This recording is so stilted and soulless because of the obvious cutting. The production is definitely not up to the usual standard I have come to expect from a content or story perspective - even a narrator of Marc's exceptional standard could not resuscitate the characters and bring them to life. Audible has done everyone associated with this production a huge disservice by releasing this version. Buy another SW book - don't waste your time or credits on this one!

Unfortunate
Unfortunately this suffered terribly from the abridgement. The story and character development are completely missing leaving the book as a series of events lacking any real context. Fine if it's a b-grade action movie but if you care about character motivation then you most likely won't enjoy this. You often find yourself rolling your eyes at the actions characters are taking as they make no/little logical sense. I imagine that the explanations for their reasoning lies in those parts that have been cut.
I've really enjoyed the Star Wars universe series on Audible (bar a few exceptions) and would re-listen to an unabridged version if it were available as I suspect it would have all the missing pieces that make a book a book.
