Product Description:
With the dark ascension of the Empire, and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out, one Jedi who escaped the massacre is slated for a date with destiny–and a confrontation with Darth Vader.
Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who miraculously survived the slaughter that followed Palpatine’s ruthless Order 66. Now, deep in Coruscant’s Blackpit Slums, Jax ekes out a living as a private investigator, trying to help people in need while concealing his Jedi identity and staying one step ahead of the killers out for Jedi blood. And they’re not the only ones in search of the elusive Jax. Hard-boiled reporter Den Dhur and his buddy, the highly unorthodox droid I-5YQ, have shocking news to bring Jax–about the father he never knew.
But when Jax learns that his old Jedi Master has been killed, leaving behind the request that Jax finish a mission critical to the resistance, Jax has no choice but to emerge from hiding–and risk detection by Darth Vader–to fulfill his Master’s dying wish.
Don’t miss the continuing adventures in the Coruscant Nights series, coming this Fall!

I admit to having debated this book and its second volume for weeks before, with nothing else pressing to read, I purchased them and began to rip my way through this particular volume. I was nothing short of impressed, mostly because it was a Star Wars novel that seemed to have found a niche in mystery noir. I was thrilled by the characters, deeply enjoyed the subtle menace of Vader (very difficult to pull off - everybody seems to just want someone standing there looking scary and breathing with ...

Before I begin, I would like to point out that I am an avid Star Wars fan. I'm not one of those rabid ones with the entire universe memorized or anything like that, but I enjoy me some Star Wars. Now, on to the review.
I did not enjoy this book at all. The plot had promise, but never delivered. The main characters were similar enough that when Reaves changed the point of view, it was hard to tell. Throughout the book, Reaves has the horrible tendency to take a phrase that would ... Read More

I bought this book and loved it. I could not put it down the charecters where well developed and the story left me wanting more.

First of all, the blurb on the back of the book (and repeated in the official synopsis) is incorrect. Jax Pavan is not eking out a living as a private investigator, at least not in book one of this series. The blurb probably is trying to evoke a sense of film noir, which on the other hand is correct. This series definately seems to be an attempt at Star Wars cyberpunk (or at least Jedi noir).
Following the virtual extinction of the Jedi with Order 66, Jax Pavan is one of the survivors, ... Read More

I was a little bit disappointed by the title of the book compared to the actual story, but the story was effective at sucking me in, and keeping me wanting more.
With a title like "Jedi Twilight," I was hoping that the book would focus more on Darth Vader's efforts to remove the last of the Jedi from the galaxy, but instead, this book is focused on a period where the Jedi are really not much of a threat to the Dark Side.
With all of that being said, it is easy for the reader ... Read More
