Synopsis:
In the eight years since the fall
of the Empire, Luke Skywalker has trained a new group of
Jedi Knights, among them the warrior woman Kirana Ti,
the sky-hermit Streen, the scholar and lore-master
Tionne, and his greatest student, the brash Kyp Durron.
Once trained, a Jedi must go where he is needed, to
defend the New Republic and use the light side of the
Force to help those in need.
On Coruscant, Chief of State Leia Organa Solo receives a
desperate message from miners on the harsh world of
Corbos. They have awakened something in their
excavations and have come under attack. Luke sends Kyp
Durron and the young clone Dorsk 82 to investigate and
offer whatever assistance they can. But when Kyp and
Dorsk 82 arrive on storm-swept Corbos, they find only an
empty mining colony . . . and the scene of a terrible
disaster.
After receiving a distress call, Kyp Durron and Dorsk 82
come to Corbos -- only to find they are too late. The
colony is destroyed leaving only evidence of a slaughter
. . . and a monster. Kyp slips away at night to track
down the hideous beast. When Dorsk 82 awakens to find
him gone, he immediately summons help, but before they
can arrive, Kyp, alone, finds the monster.
Kyp Durron arrives on the mining world of Corbos only to
find the entire colony destroyed. There are no signs of
life but Kyp can still hear the psychic outcries of the
colonists. He is drawn toward the leviathan of Corbos, a
beast that he finds has devoured the colonists -- and
yet trapped their minds and spirits. And it's up to Kyp
to defeat the leviathan on his own.
Kyp Durron thought he had destroyed the leviathan that
laid waste to the mining colony of Corbos. But he was
wrong. He killed its offspring and now the mother of the
leviathan is looking to take revenge on the Jedi. Now
Kyp and the rest of the Jedi Academy must face threat
even larger than they had first imagined.
