Balance Point

In the aftermath of one tragedy, will a

young Jedi's search for redemption lead

to yet another?

There is no place else to cannel the flood of

refugees fleeing the murderous Yuuzhan Vong but

the overcrowded planet Duro poisoned by

centuries of technological excess. Fortunately a

deal struck: In exchange for a new home, the

refugees will work to restore the planet to health

under the watchful eye of Lei Organa Solo.

While tempers flare between the Duros and the

New republic, Han Solo, his son, Jacen and the

Ryn called Droma arrive to keep the peace. They

are unaware that Leia is on Duro.and that Luke,

Mara and Anakin are on their way, searching for a

missing Jedi apprentice. And none realize that the

Yuuzhan Vong have chosen this embattled planet

as the next target in their brutal coreward thrust.

Now, as the fragile stability on Duro threatens to

collapse into violence, Jaen Solo must face his

greatest dilemma: At what point does the use of

power become aggression? Whatever he decides,

his next step could tip the galaxy's destiny toward

the light or toward the darkness-with the life of

someone he loves hanging in the balance.
