Most of the previous plotlines are continued in this one, the main one being Luke and Ben continuing their search for answers to Jacen's conversion to evil. Han and Leia are on Coruscant as the Jedi ever increasingly become exiled and ostracized by the media. More Jedi continue to go insane as previously. The difference here is the introduction of a planet of sith that can now travel through space. One can sense the inevitable conflict that will come of this. I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to see where the plotlines go in future Fate Of The Jedi entries. This is the second book in the Fate of the Jedi series and I'm really liking them so far. maybe it's because I don't have a history of reading the Star Wars EU books before. I've read some series books here and there but I'm trying to read all of them from the beginning of the timeline forward starting with this book: [b:Path of Destruction|35430|Path of Destruction (Star Wars Darth Bane, #1)|Drew Karpyshyn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320503699s/35430.jpg|1330495]. But we're not here for that book... So, Omen.....as I said I liked it a lot. I liked the lost Sith tribe and the ideas that were developed from that, I liked the continuing story of the battles between bureaucracy and the Jedi, and I still liked the travels of Luke and his son Ben. I felt like the pacing of the book could have been tighter in some places however, and there were just some characters I can't bring myself to care about. I said that I liked the conflict between the bureaucracy and the Jedi, and I do, but I can't seem to care about Jysella Horn and her turn into a crazy person like her brother. While I am interested in the reasons behind her(and others) turn into crazytown, I am not invested in her personally if that makes any sense whatsoever. I really liked all the father/son bonding going on in this book. It's nice to see in a space epic the little quiet moments. I do think that even in this, the second book, there little scavenger hunt is starting to feel a bit one note. It was like a retread of the last place they visited. I hope they mix it up in the future. A fantastic continuation in the Fate of the Jedi series, and a fantastic audiobook presentation "cinematically" from LucasBooks. It flows much more quickly than did the previous title, that almost lead me to not continue the series. While there are still a lot of questions around what the relationship to the other time/space of the Sith "Omen" the title speaks of the adventures of Luke/Ben with Tater Row, and the adventures of Han/Leah back on Corcacant make we wonder, will we break out in Civil War (again?) or will the bureaucrats and the Jedi ever be able to work together. I can't wait to see what happens next. The only downside I Have to say it that the author seems obsessed with telling us about the "caf" drinking habits of her characters. I think Golden had a few too many cups of coffee while writing.
In truth there are so many Expanded Universe stories out there that originality is a little hard to come by, one galaxy threatening menace after the next, but this arc does manage a bit of a new take, what with our heroes being so much older than in the original films. Overall the story continues the action nicely and whets the appetite for Abyss by Troy Denning, the next installment in the series.

It was nice to have some more information about the Sith and some Jedi techniques. Plus, Luke and Ben time together, it's been LONG overdue. ( )
