NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the infamous, power-hungry Sith, beholden to the dark side, the time has come to rise again. “Full of lightsaber battles, the Jedi philosophy, and lots of new life-forms.”—Chicago Sun-Times After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. Key to his scheme are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down. But he is too late.

Then, in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, Lorn crosses paths with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to earn her Knighthood. Now the future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how can an untried Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?

Kamus of Kadizhar, the only detective on Darkworld, a planet where magic works, faces a mysterious visitor with unexplained powers

Jax Pavan est un survivant. L''Ordre 66 a éradiqué ses semblables, les Jedi, et c''est sous la couverture de détective privé qu''il arpente les bas-fonds de Coruscant, devenue Cité impériale. Quand une mystérieuse et envoûtante Zeltronne nommée Dejah Duare l''engage pour retrouver le meurtrier de son compagnon, le célèbre sculpteur de lumière Volette, Jax y voit son intérêt personnel. Et pour cause, l''oeuvre de Volette est essentielle à la création des sabres laser. Avec ses compagnons d''infortune, le voilà lancé dans une mission où des périls l''attendent à chaque carrefour. Car de toutes les ombres qui planent sur sa destinée, du désespéré Capitaine Typho à la redoutable Aurra Sing, la plus menaçante est sans conteste celle de Dark Vador.

L''Empire Galactique a remplacé la République et son leader, l''Empereur Palpatine, a virtuellement rayé les Jedi de la carte. L''un d''entre eux, Jax Pavan, a néanmoins échappé à la Purge et mène une vie clandestine dans les profondeurs de Coruscant, où il est devenu détective privé. Mais certaines personnes connaissent son secret et le recherchent activement. Parmi eux, l''ancien journaliste Den Dhur et le droïde Tope-Là. Lorsqu''ils lui apprennent que son ancien Maître Jedi est mort en lui laissant une dernière mission, Jax Pavan décide de reprendre du service. Et ce, même s''il doit mener un duel à distance avec Dark Vador en personne.

Alors qu''il participe à une course d''orientation, Joey se retrouve brusquement projeté dans un autre monde, à la fois très semblable au sien, mais subtilement différent. Lorsqu''il se rend compte que sa propre mère ne le reconnaît pas (et pour cause, elle n''a jamais eu de fils!), le jeune homme comprend qu''il a basculé dans une dimension parallèle. Et des dimensions parallèles, il y en a quantité, tout comme il existe une infinité de Joey, capables eux aussi de marcher entre les mondes. Ensemble, ils forment une unité d''élite devant à tout prix sauvegarder l''équilibre entre les forces de Sire Lamechien et celles de Madame Indigo, qui se livrent une guerre sans merci pour étendre leur influence sur les dimensions.

L''Ordre 66 a exterminé presque tous les Jedi. Les rares adeptes de la Force encore au service du Bien sont contraints à l''exil ou à la clandestinité. Mais pas Jax Pavan. Ce guerrier solitaire continue de harceler l''Empire. Remarqué par Whiplash, une organisation rebelle secrète basée à Coruscant, Jax se voit confier une mission de la plus haute importance : escorter l''un des leaders rebelles vers un monde lointain, pour le mettre à l''abri des sbires de l''Empire. A bord du Far Ranger, et avec l''aide de son fidèle droïde Tope-là, Jax Pavan se sent de taille à affronter les pires assassins lancés à leurs trousses... Jusqu''au moment où l''impossible se produit. Une menace que tous croyaient éradiquée ressurgit pour les poursuivre jusqu''au fin fond de la galaxie : Dark Vador. L''indestrucible guerrier Sith ne reculera devant rien pour faire tomber le dernier des Jedi.
