SPOILER ALERT: This Will Spoil The Plot of the Book!

Jacen Solo wakes up in a start after dreaming of his Aunt Leia Organa Solo sacrificing herself to kill him.

Luke and Mara Skywalker are met by Kyp Durron who’s been placed in charge of investigating the Ben’s lightsaber incident that injured Zekk.  He tells them that Niathal and Omas want Jacen to be made a Jedi Master.

Captain Lavint, a smuggler, is leading a mission into Corellian space but is hijacked by Alliance forces.  The ship comes under heavy attack and their engines are disabled.

Lavint gets an audience with Jacen as they have a history, but he treats her poorly.  After she leaves, he tells one of his men to disable the hyperdrive on her ship so it will fail after one jump and leave her stranded in open space.

Jacen meets with Wedge Antilles and they discuss possible negotiations.  Wedge says they’ll never surrender, but hopes they’ll be able to rejoin the Alliance without having to pay the heavy penalties Jacen wants.  Wedge convinces Jacen to give them more time until the new Corellian government gets started.

Wedge meets with Corellian officials, but his information from Jacen is not well received.  He remains in the minority in thinking the attack on Tenal Ka was a mistake.  It becomes clear that they no longer have confidence in Wedge’s abilities, and as a result he is removed as Commander of the Corellian fleet.  He agrees to publically handoff the position to a replacement, but only if he is allowed to resign first so it does not appear there is any internal turmoil.

Han and Leia limp the Falcon to a depot owned by Lando Calrissian who promises to repair the ship and loans them a replacement in the meantime.

While in deep meditation, Lumiya appears to Jacen and instructs him to test Ben Skywalker now to determine whether he will make an appropriate Sith apprentice.

While discussing their guilt over Ben’s situation, Luke and Mara are visited by Jagged Fel.  He recounts his exile and tells them of Alema Rar’s survival and her ability to erase the memory of those she’s met making it difficult to track her.  He gives them a device that will allow them to track her movement through holocams as well combat her short term memory trick.  All he asks in return is some money to continue his search.  He passes Jaina Solo on the way out, but when she tries to speak to him he shrugs her off.

Lando shows Han and Leia to their new ship, The Love Commander.  They are surprised to learn that he will be going along as their cover.  They will be heading back to Corellia to find Gejjen and determine his role in the assassination attempt.

After her engines fail, Lavint knows she’ll soon be dead thanks to Jacen’s treachery.  Lavint is jolted when Alema Rar appears and tells her that she has the parts needed to repair the ship, but will only do so if Lavint helps her track down Han and Leia.

Luke shows Jag his new X-wing and tells him that he’s assigned Jaina and Zekk to go with him.  Neither are very happy about it, but when Jaina presses Jag he reveals his recent problems and how her actions cost him his position within the Chiss Ascendency.

After the Love Commander is boarded trying to run the blockade, Leia uses a mind trick get the clearance codes through.

Lumiya disguises herself to cover her scars and makes contact with the Bothan Minister of Information.  She tells him that she knows about the impending Bothan attack on the GA and wants to help them cloak the attack and provides detailed information about the assassination of Bothans as proof she has GA contacts.

After making it to the planet’s surface, Han and Leia decide to seek out Wedge knowing that he’ll soon be leaving Corellia himself now that he’s been forced out of a job.

Inside a cantina, they meet with Denjax Teppler who tells them that Gejjen was behind the assassination and the Wedge was innocent.  Guards burst in through the door, but they are able to escape through the basement.
