Product Description:
New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole presents a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars® universe: the dramatic story of a heroic X-wing pilot on the razor's edge between the Force--and the dark side.
Corran Horn has distinguished himself as one of the best and brightest of Rogue Squadron's elite fighting force. Then his wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission for the New Republic, and Corran vows to find her. To do so, he knows he must develop the latent Force powers inherited from his grandfather, a legendary Jedi hero. He joins Luke Skywalker's famed Jedi academy to begin training, only to quit in frustration at Skywalker's methods. Now Corran is on his own. Using his Corellian 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.

Amazon.com Review:
Corran Horn, hero of Rogue Squadron and former Corellian Security Force officer, has a problem: his wife, Mirax, has disappeared while on a secret mission. In his struggle to rescue his wife, Horn joins Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy as a charter recruit, befriends Mara Jade, tangles with a 4,000-year-old Sith lord, and goes undercover to infiltrate a notorious band of pirates. But what will he do when he finds himself faced with a dilemma--surrender to the dark side of the force or risk losing Mirax forever?
This abridgment (though approved by the licensor) causes some serious gaps in the story--major events are merely mentioned in passing, while others are described in great detail--but fans may be placated by sound effects and John Williams's music from the original Star Wars Trilogy. Tony Award-nominee Anthony Heald performs with his usual aplomb, providing distinctive voices for a wide range of characters and heightening the tension when necessary. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --C.B. Delaney

is a good story to go along with the jedi academy trilogy, tells a bit more about what was going on in that time and from a new perspective.

Wow...I've read this book twice, and now I own it, and it is amazing! If more Star Wars books could give better insight into the use of the force and jedi training, the world would be a better place. This novel especially interested me because it taught me a bit of how the force is used and introduced me to the pirates of Star Wars. Also the connection between the reader and the main character that Stackpole creates adds more, and makes it harder to put down.

My favorite star wars novel. Successfully interwoven in the Jedi Academy trilogy and written in the first person Stackpole has put together a great story. Highly Recommended!

Let me first say this: I love everything of Stackpole's that I've read before, and I really love Corran Horn. That being said, this book was a disappointment to me.
Stackpole may do a fine job of patching up the shoddy work of the Jedi Academy Trilogy, but I was left with the feeling that all I was reading for half the book was just that: clean-up. The entire account of the Academy in I, Jedi seemed half-heartedly written, and I just couldn't get into it. This was the experience for half of the ... Read More

I was not a fan of this book. I'm not sure if it was the abridgement or the writing style, but I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt and blame the abridgement.
Like most abridged books, it was too abridged (where are the Reader's Digest abridgers when you need them?). Characters, ships and situations show up without preamble but we're expected to be familiar with them. The whole book seemed hurried.
The typical special effects that Lucasfilms provides their audiobooks ... Read More
