Synopsis

 
What began as a quest for truth has become a struggle for survival for Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben. They have used the secrets of the Mindwalkers to transcend their own bodies and speak with the spirits of the fallen, risking their very lives in the process. They have faced a team of Sith assassins and beaten the odds to destroy them. And now the death squad’s sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, has summoned an entire fleet of Sith frigates to engage the embattled father and son. But the dark warriors come bearing a surprising proposition that will bring Jedi and Sith together in an unprecedented alliance against an evil more ancient and alien than they can imagine.

While the Skywalkers and their Sith allies set off on their joint mission into the treacherous web of black holes that is the Maw, Han and Leia Solo risk arrest and worse to aid the Jedi imprisoned back on Coruscant. Tyrannical Chief of State Natasi Daala has issued orders that will open a permanent schism between her government and the Jedi Order—a schism that could turn all Jedi into renegades and wanted criminals.

But it is in the depths of the Maw that the future of the galaxy will be decided. For there the Skywalkers and their Sith allies will engage a true monster in battle, and Luke will come face-to-face with a staggering truth.

"Allies" is another disappointing entry in the "Fate fo the Jedi" series for mostly the same reasons the rest of the books have been subpar, with the added disadvantage of being written by Christie Golden, whose knack for writing the young-adult tone is as uncanny as it is annoying. To get the gist o......more

I enjoyed this book. There is a resolution to one of the main problems facing the Jedi. Being the fifth book in the set this is a welcomed step forward. New problems arise, and new enemies are introduced. I also like that fact that this book cover other issues in the Star Wars universe the biggest b......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on October 25, 2023

Yet another fantastic installment in the Fate of the Jedi series. The action here is terrific, it is my favorite use of the Luke plotline, and the way that Luke and Ben have to team up with the Lost Tribe of the Sith is really cool and believable! I loved the whole coruscant storyline as always, and......more

Goodreads review by Adam on July 14, 2011

The first thing I can say about this fifth book is that it's a reassuring size. The last one by Golden was a bit thinner than the rest of the series, but this one isn't. As for the story, it's much better than the first three in the series. As I often do, I'll start by discussing the characters, and......more
