About the Book

"I, Jedi" plunges readers deeper into the mysterious world of the Jedi than has ever been allowed: their training, their powers, and their souls. A secret cadre of pirates has banded together, posing a very real threat to the fragile New Republic--and becoming a living nightmare to the only man who can stop them: Luke Skywalker.

Book Synopsis

The dramatic story of an X-wing pilot on the razor's edge between the hero he once was and the power he could have--if he's willing to embrace the Dark Side

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.
