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.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Ok, it's Star Wars so of course I enjoyed it :P I found at some parts that there was a little too much emphasis placed on the female characters and their habits, which a male writer would not have even considered. Normally things like this I don't notice, and I'm not a picky reader meaning it didn't put me off the entire story.

It was nice to have some more information about the Sith and some Jedi techniques. Plus, Luke and Ben time together, it's been LONG overdue. ( )

Jysella Horn [Corin and Mirax's daughter] goes nutso. More politic'ing between the Jedi and the GA. Luke and Ben trace Jacen's path of travels. And Ship [the sith ship] finds the Sith World and starts training them. Opening things up for another fall of the Jedi and ascendancy of Sith. Kind of sad. ( )

Solid follow up to the previous entry in the Fate Of The Jedi series. Most of the previous plotlines are continued in this one, the main one being Luke and Ben continuing their search for answers to Jacen's conversion to evil. Han and Leia are on Coruscant as the Jedi ever increasingly become exiled and ostracized by the media. More Jedi continue to go insane as previously. The difference here is the introduction of a planet of sith that can now travel through space. One can sense the inevitable conflict that will come of this. I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to see where the plotlines go in future Fate Of The Jedi entries. ( )

This is the second book in the Fate of the Jedi series and I'm really liking them so far. maybe it's because I don't have a history of reading the Star Wars EU books before. I've read some series books here and there but I'm trying to read all of them from the beginning of the timeline forward starting with this book: [b:Path of Destruction|35430|Path of Destruction (Star Wars Darth Bane, #1)|Drew Karpyshyn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320503699s/35430.jpg|1330495]. But we're not here for that book...

So, Omen.....as I said I liked it a lot. I liked the lost Sith tribe and the ideas that were developed from that, I liked the continuing story of the battles between bureaucracy and the Jedi, and I still liked the travels of Luke and his son Ben.

I felt like the pacing of the book could have been tighter in some places however, and there were just some characters I can't bring myself to care about. I said that I liked the conflict between the bureaucracy and the Jedi, and I do, but I can't seem to care about Jysella Horn and her turn into a crazy person like her brother. While I am interested in the reasons behind her(and others) turn into crazytown, I am not invested in her personally if that makes any sense whatsoever.

I really liked all the father/son bonding going on in this book. It's nice to see in a space epic the little quiet moments. I do think that even in this, the second book, there little scavenger hunt is starting to feel a bit one note. It was like a retread of the last place they visited. I hope they mix it up in the future. ( )

A fantastic continuation in the Fate of the Jedi series, and a fantastic audiobook presentation "cinematically" from LucasBooks.

It flows much more quickly than did the previous title, that almost lead me to not continue the series. While there are still a lot of questions around what the relationship to the other time/space of the Sith "Omen" the title speaks of the adventures of Luke/Ben with Tater Row, and the adventures of Han/Leah back on Corcacant make we wonder, will we break out in Civil War (again?) or will the bureaucrats and the Jedi ever be able to work together. I can't wait to see what happens next.

The only downside I Have to say it that the author seems obsessed with telling us about the "caf" drinking habits of her characters. I think Golden had a few too many cups of coffee while writing. ( )

In truth there are so many Expanded Universe stories out there that originality is a little hard to come by, one galaxy threatening menace after the next, but this arc does manage a bit of a new take, what with our heroes being so much older than in the original films. Overall the story continues the action nicely and whets the appetite for Abyss by Troy Denning, the next installment in the series.
