5.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue from all sides, 30 April 2009
I picked this book up with great interest after having enjoyed the Legacy of the Force series. I was really anxious to see how the unexpected turn of events at the end of Invincible had effected the Jedi Order and if more links were going to be shown between the books and the cool Legacy comics. I was not disappointed. Outcast does all that and also sets up a great first chapter in its own story. There are pressures for the Jedi to be more under the control of the government led by ex imperial admiral Daala, Jedi Knights are having mysterious mental breaks and Luke and Ben Skywalker are starting their journey to discover exactly what Jacen learnt in those five years after the Yuuzhan Vong war. I really like the way Aaron Allston writes these characters and I thought the book did a good job of bringing more light hearted moments back into Star Wars books. I cant wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Upbeat Adventure and chilling mystery in a perfect mix, 7 July 2009
By Skywalker fan "GMS" (Oxon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Fate of the Jedi: Outcast is the first in a new nine book series made up entirely of hardcovers. The writing team this time around is made up of Aaron Allston, Christie Golden and Troy Denning. This series picks up two years after the conlusion Legacy of the Force and shrotly after the stand alone adventure Millennium Falcon. It's focus unsurpringly is the Jedi Order and the consequences of Jacen Solos brief attempt to bring his vision of order to galaxy as the Sith Lord Darth Caedus. The Galactic Alliance is reforging economic and diplomatic ties both within its own borders and without and it is against the backdrop of the start of the first Unifcation Summit on Coruscant that the story begins.

Aaron Allston kicks the series off with a really enjoyable read showing a different tone to that of the Legacy of the Force series straight off the bat. This was good to see because although I hold the previous series as one of my favourite Star Wars storylines I was worried Fate of the Jedi would be too similar. This lighter tone is achieved by switching between the high tension drama of the events unfolding on Coruscant involving the Jedi Order, Luke and Ben Skywalkers journey to uncover the reason for Jacens fall to the dark side and Leia, Han and Allana travelling to Kessel to help Lando with his spice mining operation. It gave a refreshing mix of naratives that allowed Aaron Allston to use a wide range of characters. The Kessel plotline especially gives us the opportunity to catch up with a lot of famous starfighter pilots from both sides of the galactic civil war.

The plot on Coruscant feeds into Luke and Bens journey and makes for what appears to be the focus for the series main plotline. The new Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala (former Imperial Admiral) is very wary of the Jedi Order and has charged Luke Skywalker with dereliction of duty for letting Jacen Solo fall to the dark side. Luke negotiates his freedom in exchange for being exiled from the Jedi Order for ten years unless he can prove what made Jacen fall. This plotline is very well handled and as someone who was concerned that this plot could turn into nothing more than Jedi bashing I was very impressed. It deals with the consequences of the last series, that the Jedi Order must shoulder some responsibility but is aware that they are not the only ones, all the while telling an enjoyable story.

My favourite part of the book is when Luke Skywalker and his son Ben visit the Baran Do Sages. We get a great look at the developing relationship between father and son after the recent tragedy they have both endured and we get a look at the Kel Dor homeworld. However a close second would have to be the chapters focusing on the Jedi Order on Coruscant as Jedi Knight Valin Horn succumbs to a strange psychosis that seems to effect only Jedi or force users. This mystery is bound to play a major role throughout the whole series and it makes for an interesting new threat to our heroes.

Aaron Allston again has written an engrossing first book with his ability to weave action, drama and humour. I highly recommend it and look forward to where the next eight books lead us.
