The dazzling Star Wars space adventure The New Jedi Order continues as Luke Skywalker, Anakin Solo, Mara Jade Skywalker, and others battle their deadliest enemy in a tale of nonstop action, shadowy evil, and spectacular triumph...

No longer content with the destruction the Yuuzhan Vong have already sown, Warmaster Tsavong Lah has demanded the heads of all the Jedi.  Now the Jedi Knights are in terrible danger - and none more so than the young students at the Jedi academy on Yavin 4.  Already, the sympathizers known as the Peace Brigade are in the Yavin system - and a Yuuzhan Vong fleet is not far behind.

At Luke Skywalker's request, Talone Karrde mounts an expedition to rescue the young students.  Anakin Solo has his own ideas.  Impatient, and figuring that forgiveness is easier to come by than permission, he takes off for Yavin 4 in his X-wing.

When it comes to confidence, courage, and raw Force talent, Anakin has few peers.  But when his friend Tahiri is separated from the other academy kids and captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, even Anakin may be over his head.  For the aliens have a different future in mind for Tahiri, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their horrific ends...

The Star Wars epic continues its dazzling space odyssey in The New Jedi Order - as Luke and Mara, Leia and Han, and others battle the mighty enemy from beyond the galactic rim.

The brutal Yuuzhan Vong are scouring the universe for Jedi to slaughter.  With no help from the divided New Republic, the Jedi stand alone against their seemingly invincible foe.  Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo risk deadly consequences with their controversial tactics to bolster the Jedi resistance.  After uncovering a new Yuuzhan Vong menace, Anakin and Tahiri find themselves wanted for murder by the Peace Brigade.  To avoid capture, they jump into hyperspace... and into trouble far graver.

Hunted by the Yuuzhan Vong, wanted as criminals by the New Republic, and with unrest stirring within their own ranks, the Jedi find peril everywhere they turn.  But even in the midst of despair, while the most fiercest battle of all looms on the horizon, hope arises with the birth of one very special child....

As a beleaguered galaxy fights its way back from the brink of destruction, the Jedis' most fearsome enemy plots to end the war - and claim victory - with a final act of domination....

The troubles for the embattled living planet Zonama Sekot have just begun.  As Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo negotiate its place in the galactic struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, one of its organic ships it taken by the alien invaders.  Scientist Nen Yim is ordered to use the captive to find weak spots in Zonama Sekot's technology.  But what Nen Yim discovers about the planet and its mysteries shocks her to the core.  Clearly her people have gone terribly astray.  For the peace-loving planet harbors not only the key to its own destruction, but the long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong themselves.

Meanwhile, General Wedge Antilles, commanding one fleet in a three-pronged campaign to retake the Bilbringi system, is suddenly stranded deep in Yuuzhan Vong space, cut off from all contact.  Wedge and his ships must rely on trickery and brilliant battle tactics if they are to survive long enough to ensure the success of one of the deadliest and most crucial missions the Galactic Alliance forces have ever undertaken....
