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

Orbiting the planet Myrkr, Harrar, a Yuuzhan Vong priest, and Khalee Lah, Tsavong Lah's son, look over the battle.  The battle is not going as well as Nom Anor has been reporting to them.  Anor tells them of the death of the Voxyn Queen and her spawn at the hands of several Jedi who are fleeing the planet and the approaching ship.  He reports that Jason Solo has been captured, Anakin Solo has been killed, and Jaina Solo is flying the stolen ship.

Jaina Solo is in a waking nightmare.  The Yuuzhan Vong ships are not trying to kill her, but instead they want to capture her.  With Jaina at the controls of the stolen Vong ship, the surviving Jedi discuss where to make their hyperspace jump as Lowbacca tries to figure out how to actually make it happen.  They jump to Coruscant and right into the battle that is overwhelming the planet.  Knowing they can't fire on New Republic ships or Yuuzhan Vong ships because they will be destroyed, Jaina reaches out and realizes that the planet has been lost.

Han and Leia are fighting alongside Kyp Durron in the battle over Coruscant.  Leia senses Jaina's cry for help and, using a battle tactic that Han had taught her, they realize that Jaina is flying the Vong ship. Leia tells the other New Republic ships the avoid destroying Jaina's frigate, and allows her to jump away from the scene.

Baron Fel reprimands Colonel Jagged Fell for his recklessness in helping the New Republic and losing several Chiss ships in these worthless battles.  Baron tells him once a weakness for the Vong has been discovered the Chiss will join the battle in full force. Or the general tells them that once he is learned how to destroy the use Hong Kong.  Then they will go ahead and grant him more time and more men to go to battle.  He also informs them about the death of Anakin Solo and Coruscant's fall.  Jagged is concerned about Jaina's well being.  The baron sends his son off to learn more about the threat, and does not expect his son to survive.

The Millennium Falcon is in need of repairs...again.  The Solos decide to take the ship to Hapes as perhaps that may be where Jaina ended up.  Jedi Tenel Ka is from Hapes and is with Jaina so the choice seems logical.

Ta'a Chume, the former Queen of Hapes, explains that she is displeased with her son Isolder's choice for a wife and hopes that she will be able to find him a new wife that is more suitable for her to mold into an appropriate Queen Mother.

After the use Hong Kong for it comes out of hyperspace they're attacked by several Hapan ships and a motley crew of other ships that have been put together to attack any on comers.  Although they tried to destroy any ships, one is damaged and the salvage its radio and make contact with the planet.  The former Queen herself instructs Jaina to land and come immediately to the palace.

Jaina and Lowbacca discuss whether Lowbacca could have similar results with the yammosk that Danni Quee was able to have.  The villip on the ship awakens and Tsavong Lah, thinking he is speaking to Nom Anor, asks about the mission status.  Lah realizes he is speaking to Jaina and mocks her.  Hoping to hatch a plan of their own, Jaina agrees to surrender and meet Jacen in a duel as willed by the Vong gods.  Harrar contacts her and says they have control of her ship.  The other Jedi are skeptical of this plan, but Jaina tells them Lowbacca has figured out a way to block their ship's signal back to the Vong.

The other Jedi feel through the Force that Jacen has been killed.  Jaina, however, does not sense this.  As they head to the surface, Kyp and Jag are also there.
