Product Description:
Civil war rages as the Galactic Alliance–led by Cal Omas and the Jedi forces of Luke Skywalker–battles a confederation of breakaway planets that rally to the side of rebellious Corellia. Suspected of involvement in an assassination plot against Queen Mother Tenel Ka of the Hapes Consortium, Han and Leia Solo are on the run, hunted by none other than their own son, Jacen, whose increasingly authoritarian tactics as head of GA security have led Luke and Mara Skywalker to fear that their nephew may be treading perilously close to the dark side.
But as his family sees in Jacen the chilling legacy of his Sith grandfather, Darth Vader, many of the frontline troops adore him, and countless citizens see him as a savior. The galaxy has been torn apart by too many wars. All Jacen wants is safety and stability for all–and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
To end the bloodshed and suffering, what sacrifice would be too great? That is the question tormenting Jacen. Already he has sacrificed much, embracing the pitiless teachings of Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, who has taught him that a strong will and noble purpose can hold the evil excesses of the dark side at bay, bringing peace and order to the galaxy–but at a price.
For there is one final test that Jacen must pass before he can gain the awesome power of a true Sith Lord: He must bring about the death of someone he values dearly. What troubles Jacen isn’t whether he has the strength to commit murder. He has steeled himself for that, and worse if necessary. No, the question that troubles Jacen is who the sacrifice should be.
As the strands of destiny draw ever more tightly together in a galaxy-spanning web, the shocking answer will shatter two families . . . and cast a grim shadow over the future.

I really liked this book. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because the parts with Boba Fett & Mirta were boring to me. The rest though was good.

Lumiya discovers Jacen's secret. Mara battles Jacen. Jacen lethally poisons her. Luke thinks Lumiya did it so He goes after her and kills her. Ben tells his dad ... Read More

Next to Inferno (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 6)this has to be my favourite book in the Legacy of the Force series.
How do I begin to review this book? Well, it opens with Ben returning from a mission that Jacen deceived him to go on. This is the beginning of the end for Jacen's tyranny over Ben. I noticed that Ben isn't quite as devoted to Jacen in this book as he was in the earlier books in this series, which is a good thing. Maybe he will finally realize that Luke and Mara ... Read More

Sacrifice has many meanings within this novel and can apply to a bevy of the situation contained within.
Book 5 here in this series really seems to take Star Wars back to its roots, and is able to balance a somewhat cerebral tone as well. Meaning, it has great action and climatic battles in every book thus far, but weaves a more politically motivated tale akin to those novels spun by Tom Clancy or Larry Bond.
The build from the previous installments is still escalating ... Read More

*CAUTION CONTAINS SPOILERS*
I'm a diehard Star Wars fan, and I did not care for this book. I'll admit that I'm a little jaded due to the fact that my favorite Expanded Universe character, in fact possibly my favorite character in the entire SW universe is killed off. I've always considered Han and Wedge my favorite characters, but Mara was right up there too. She's the ideal female character: a servant of the good side with just a bit of the dark still in her, stealthy yet strong, ... Read More

Overall, I think the book was great, it tells about Jacen's ultimate turn to the dark side. However the making of Jacen's sacrifice could have been more spectacular, that's why I give this book 4/5 stars.
