As Hero's Trial begins, the New Republic reels beneath the ongoing onslaught of the alien Yuuzhan Vong, leaving dozens of worlds shattered or enslaved. The Jedi Knights themselves are not immune to defeat, as these dark times have already claimed one and then another of their number. Even brave Chewbacca was lost, dying as heroically as he lived, and leaving Han Solo to carry on the battle alone. And fight on he does, until a chance discovery reveals a diabolical conspiracy that threatens to destroy the Jedi forever ... unless Han can find a way to stop it. Jedi Eclipse finds Luke Skywalker doing his best to keep the quarreling Jedi Knights from splitting apart, taking the New Republic's only hope with them. Meanwhile, Han Solo continues his own battles, trying desperately to thwart the enemy's schemes, a challenge that may prove to be his greatest ... or his last. -- Amazon.com.
