Star Wars Legends The New Jedi Order - Balance Point

by Kathy Tyers
There is no place else to channel the flood of refugees fleeing the murderous Yuuzhan Vong but the overcrowded planet Duro, poisoned by centuries of technological excess. Fortunately a deal is struck: In exchange for a new home, the refugees will work to restore the planet to health, under the watchful eye of Leia Organa Solo. While tempers flare between Duros and the New Republic, Han Solo, his son, Jacen, and the Ryn called Dromo arrive to keep the peace, unaware of Leia's presence, and Luke's inevitable arrival as his search for a missing Jedi apprentice leads him to Duro. 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, Jacen 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 of towards darkness, with the life of someone he loves hanging in the balance. 384pgs
