The Joiner King: Star Wars Legends (Dark Nest, Book I) - Troy Denning

After triumphing in Star Wars: The Unifying Force, the heroes of the New Jedi Order
return in a dazzling new adventure!

Luke Skywalker is worried: A handful of Jedi
Knights, including his nephew and niece, Jaina and Jacen Solo, have disappeared into
the Unknown Regions in response to a strange cry for help that only they could hear.
Now the alien Chiss have angrily lodged a formal complaint, accusing the missing
Jedi of meddling in a border dispute between the Chiss and an unidentified aggressor.


Luke has no choice but to head to the Unknown Regions for serious damage control.
Han and Leia follow, intent on protecting their children from what could be grave
danger. But none of them are prepared for what they find when they reach their destination.

A colony of mysterious aliens is expanding toward the edge of Chiss space. The leader
of the alien nest is resolute. Adept in the Force, he is drawing old friends to his
side, compelling them to join the colony and meld their Force-abilities with his,
even if it leads to all-out war. . . .
