About this ebook
Corran Horn was an officer in the Corellian Security Force before casting his lot with the New Republic. As the grandson of a legendary Jedi hero, he has latent Force powers that have yet to be developed. But he has managed to distinguish himself with Rogue Squadron, the X-wing fighter force that has become the scourge of the Empire and of the pirates that prey on Republic shipping.
When his wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission for the New Republic, Corran vows to find her. He begins Jedi training at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi academy, hoping to develop his untapped powers. But as Corran grows dissatisfied with the Jedi master’s methods, he chooses to break with the academy before his training is finished.
Now Corran is on his own. Using his undercover experience, he must infiltrate, sabotage, and destroy a ruthless organization in order to find his wife. But to succeed, Corran will have to come to terms with his Jedi heritage—and make a terrible choice: surrender to the Dark Side . . . or die.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not only is this a good read and interesting as a first-person Star Wars novel (the only one thus far), it also serves neatly as "fix fic" to clear up some discrepancies and outright problems with "The Jedi Academy Trilogy." One of the best Star Wars titles of the Bantam line.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I wanted to like this book. It is rated very well but I don’t see it. The book is too long, over 600 pages where I feel that less than half of that would have been adequate for this story.The book is set sometime after the movies. Han and Leah have their twins. It has a few settings, all new places to this universe.The book starts of very poorly. It felt like the author was putting words down just to get past the setup. Corran’s wife is kidnapped. He knows she was kidnapped and is held in stasis, but nothing else. This started off feeling wrong. Maybe the stasis is explained in the end, but it doesn’t seem rational. Nor why he can ascertain that and nothing else. It was just a setup so he has ample time to mess around becoming a powerful Jedi.Other characters from the movie appear. Luke, the most prominent, doesn’t seem reasonable from the movie settings. He seems to fall out of character when Corran needs to make a point – mostly to the reader.Backstory for Corran is often provided through dialog. As in “You remember when…” Then two characters discuss something in detail that both of them know.Corran encounters lots of odd characters. Yet many of them appear only briefly and provide a critical skill or give him equipment he direly needs and didn’t realize he needed.The writing is mediocre. The story line seemed interesting, but someone else should have told it. He goes to excess in making up words to create an otherworldly feel. It mostly just slows down the reading, although I do believe he has some skill at creating words that provide a good feel for the situation or thing described.It felt contrived and overly dragged out with weak supporting characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Corran Horn of Rogue Squadron is convinced to train his Jedi powers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great book. The main character was fairly powerful, and his was the only point-of-view. That is what I like.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of Stackpole's stronger works, the first person narrative makes things a lot more interesting than they'd otherwise be. Some solid action sequences, neat ideas on Jedi training and good characterisation round up a perfectly good Star Wars book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of my favorite of the Michael Stackpole novels. It was impressive, and kind of a refreshing change of pace to be reading a whole novel basically in first person POV.
