Synopsis

The dazzling Star Wars space adventure continues in The New Jedi Order 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, Talon 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 in 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 . . .

This was definitely a step up for the New Jedi Order series. I felt more of a connection with the story and the characters than I did with the previous novels. After reading this, I'm really looking forward to the sequel, which is by the same author.......more

Goodreads review by Scott on November 24, 2015

Greg Keyes's "Conquest", the first in his Edge of Victory duology, is a slight return to the edgier side of the New Jedi Order series started by R.A. Salvatore in "Vector Prime". Thankfully, the space/soap opera feel of the last three books has, at the very least, been put on hold. In this book, Anak......more

Wow. I am really impressed by this book. I think I can comfortably say this is my favorite entry in The New Jedi Order so far! I loved just about everything here. First of all, Anakin Solo is fantastic. He’s pretty much the focus of the book and he’s handled really well. I also enjoyed the side chara......more

Goodreads review by Ryan on March 31, 2008

One of the things that I initially really liked about the NJO series is that the Yuuzhon Vong were completely and utterly alien - that we weren't given any real introduction to them, and didn't know what they wanted. While that was good for the initial novels, it wouldn't be sustainable over the cou......more
