Product Description:
The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo’s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic Alliance.
Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall to the dark side–and to learn what’s turning peaceful Jedi into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her capture by Natasi Daala’s police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala’s iron will–at the expense of the Jedi Order.
But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.

For someone that has read all of the books and knows the Star Wars Universe through and through, I found this book weak. It was- simply put- an extension of the first book with nothing learned or gained aside from Allan, the Solo's granddaughter, getting a pet and the brief introduction to the Lost Tribe of the Sith. Omen is Christie Golden's first attempt at the complex Star Wars Universe; where others have hit the ground running, Author Golden has gently trotted out the gate. Hopefully her next ... Read More

this was bad. all its was was a reapeat of outcast except it was WAY to short. i love the star wars books and have read all of them, but never have i read one so bad. dont waste your money. just dont.
christie golden know nothing about the world of star wars! i knew more at the age of 5. if she writes another book in this series i will not read it. i hope the rest of the series is better.

I used to read the Star Wars books starting when they first came out and continued the story after the movies. They were always decent books but this story is far and above everything else I have read. Excellent stories and it makes me want more.

At 250 pages long and with not much new to distinguish it from the first book in the Fate of the Jedi series, Omen is a disappointment and the perfect example of what is wrong with the all-hardcover approach to this latest series of Star Wars novels. With Legacy of the Force, three of the books were hardcover, and you could maybe convince yourself that it was worth it to buy and read those immediately rather than wait for the paperbacks to come out a few months down the line. The problem with making ... Read More

This was an excellent continuation of the Fate of the Jedi saga. I am already ready to order ithe next installment.
I especially like the authors attempt to explain what the dark tenticle creature was that had invaded Ben's mind when he was at Shelter.
