Here again we have Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, the married Jedi, whose quest this time is for remnants of the Outward Bound expedition, launched 50 years before by the Old Republic and subsequently destroyed by pirates, with the help of the late Admiral Thrawn. and determined to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi. And the ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and unexpected terrors to its visitors, Luke and Mara find all they stand for-and their very existence-brutally challenged. But it is within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight itself, buried for half a century on a desolate planetoid, where the gravest danger lies. Soon enough, suspicion, secrecy, and an unknown saboteur run rampant aboard the isolated ship. Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda. Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face it alone. But all that will change when they're united on an unexpected mission: They must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy and salvage a part of Jedi history. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple-and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well. The specter of the meancing Grand Admiral Thrawn looms over Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade as they embark on a journey to recover an important piece of Jedi history.
