Jedi Twilight Cover Text

The official site unveils the cover text for Coruscant Nights: Jedi Twilight, the first installment of the Michael Reaves Coruscant Nights trilogy.

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. Others search for the elusive Jax too. 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.

It should be noted that in Michael Reeves' Darth Maul: Shadowhunter, one of the main characters, Lorn Pavan, had a son taken by the Jedi Order, presumably Jax.

Coruscant Nights: Jedi Twilight is set six months after the terrible execution of Order 66, and is scheduled for release in July 2008.

Reaves is one half of the author team for both Death Star and the Medstar duology, and Den Dhur was my favorite character from the latter. Can't wait. Sinclair November 12, 2007 Comment 3 Well, I guess I never did get round to working on that Star War noir serial. So it's nice to see that the idea is contagious.. Oevin November 12, 2007 Comment 4 That sounds freaking rad. Darth Pyriel November 12, 2007 Comment 5 This looks great... there is an feeling of awe whenever order 66 is brought up... the darkness and the lack of hopes brings you that feeling you get after you watch ESB...
