"Fast moving and thrilling...An exciting addition to the Star Wars saga and a very promising beginning to a new series."

Publisher's note

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.
In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it's only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch hunt. Facing conviction on the damning charges, Luke must strike a bargain with the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile from Coruscant and from the Jedi Order.
Though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo's corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest-and life as he knows it-to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the JediOrder . . . and devastate the entire galaxy.

The first volume in a new, nine book series launches a huge story arc with heroic roles for the galaxy's most beloved characters as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo and their surviving children set off on a journey of discovery and hardship, of obstacles and victories, and the aftermath of the civil war that rocked the galaxy.

Annotation

This is the first installment in a nine-book series of STAR WARS novels refocusing the attention on the Skywalker clan. There is a new generation coming up, and Luke, Leia, and Han might be older, but their bonds remain strong as they continue their battles against the forces of evil. In OUTCAST, Luke and his son, Ben, set off to try to uncover the story behind Jacen's Dark Side turn; meanwhile Leia and Han investigate Lando's problems in the cursed Kessel spice mines.
