The 16th book in the New York Times-bestselling series, STAR WARS- THE NEW JEDI ORDER, continues the miniseries FORCE HERETIC, which began with REMNANT (2/03), an adventure featuring an unusual quest undertaken by Luke Skywalker and the rise of an unexpected anti-hero among the alien invaders. The second of a mass-market original trilogy charting the beginning of the galaxy's victory over the dreaded Yuuzhan Vong alien invaders. Under the leadership of Luke Skywalker and a combined Jedi-government council, the newly formed Galatic Federation of Free Alliances is doggedly fighting back--and winning. Luke is on a quest for a legend, in hope of bringing back the ultimate answer to the war. And a mysterious prophet has risen among the Yuuzhan Vong lower castes to turn Yuuzhan Vong culture on its ear. This adventure includes major storylines for favorite characters, both old and new.
