On the planet Tython, the ancient Jedaii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Forceand found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Jedaii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.
Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Jedaii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the keyrisking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Jedaii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grievedand whose life she must now fear.
Includes a special, full-color excerpt from the Dark Horse comic Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi and an original Dawn of the Jedi short story by John Ostrander!

Escrito por Tim Lebbon
Tim Lebbon nació en Londres en 1969. Con vocación de escritor desde niño, hizo su debut en 1994 en la revista Psychotrope. En 1997 publicó Mesmer, su primera novela, y hoy la lista abarca más de treinta obras. De él se ha dicho que con sus tramas complejas redefine el género de terror y de la fantasía para adultos, creando mundos de personajes de proporciones épicas. Es un autor con numerosos premios en su haber (como el Bram Stoker, el Tombstone, el Shocker o el British Fantasy) y varios de sus relatos se han llevado a la gran pantalla. Junto con Joe Abercrombie y China Miéville, forma la triada más interesante del panorama británico actual en lo que a literatura de género se refiere.
