Star Wars

Fate of the Jedi, Book 2: Omen

By: Christie Golden

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo’s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic Alliance.

Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall to the dark side - and to learn what’s turning peaceful Jedi into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her capture by Natasi Daala’s police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala’s iron will - at the expense of the Jedi Order.

But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.

Critic reviews

"Series fans will enjoy this entry and the continued exploration of the huge and mysterious Star Wars galaxy." ( Booklist)

Great Start

Read series prior to listening-Omen is a pretty good prelude to the series! Good Buy!

Always good!

I had started out listening to these audio books on YouTube, and found Marc Thompson to be a very good Narrator. The story that I’ve been following has not let me down yet and the performance as always with Marc is top notch. I’ll be hearing the next book once I’m done with this review, and I can’t wait to hear it.
Thank you,
Mitch

amazing beautiful crazy delicious extreme furious Great homemade incredible jubilant kamikaze lovely monstrous ninja

love the old eu

the author makes situations that are at best unrealistic to any type of response to pressure. But aside from making the jedi spineless, the rest of the story is alright

This is my Star Wars Sequel

This is probably the 8th- 9th time I’ve listened the this series and the second time I’ve purchased it. Never gets old!

jedi go mad

love it. all is going bad for the jedi. luke is strugling to find clues. the sith are rising. and theres still something worse than these

Good book.

I couldn't get the thing do four and a half stars so i rounded up. But very good book. I actually like it better than outcast. Mainly because i felt the Kessel part slowed the story down and i have yet to see much more than and adventure come out of it. Anyways i felt in this book most of the parts were very interesting, admittedly though due in part to my preference of the sith.

star wars
