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!

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

Interesting storyline based on characters known and unknown in the Star Wars Universe. It expands the universe with characters you can care about, yet only gives you the one book to wrap up the tale in. Am looking foreward to more in this new series.

The aptly-named Jedi Twilight, the first book of the Coruscant Nights trilogy by Michael Reaves, is an adventurous, fast-paced romp of a tale that skillfully weaves in many characters and story elements of the larger Expanded Universe. The setting is the largely untapped Dark Times, the eighteen years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The Jedi have been decimated by the infamous Order 66, Emperor Palpatine is consolidating his grasp on the galaxy and building his new Empire, and Darth Vader ... Read More

As should be evident from the cover artwork, JEDI TWILIGHT is being marketed as a hardboiled detective story, with former Jedi Jax Pavan as a sort of latter-day Philip Marlowe. The prototypical hardboiled detective is a man who, although a good egg (yep) and a smart guy, has been toughened up by encounters with corrupt institutions (like the police and politicians) on one hand, and the seedy underbelly of society, on the other hand. He is a flawed hero whose past fall from grace both limits and drives ... Read More
