"Fate of the Jedi" launches a new multi-book, multi-author series, in the vein of the "New York Times"-bestselling Legacy of the Force series.

Reviews

New York Times best-selling author Allston (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force; Betrayal) writes this first entry in a projected nine-book series, which takes place two years after the savage civil war chronicled in the "Legacy of the Force" series. While a bit static, the characters are sharply drawn and realistic. The near-constant atmospheric sound effects are fresh, though unnecessary, given voice-over artist Marc Thompson's skill at mimicking familiar characters and creating distinct new ones (like lovers Jag Fel and Jaina Solo). This, plus the zippy story line, should please fans and new listeners alike.
