An interesting look into how some Jedi began to doubt the Order even in its heyday.
We follow a Palawan named Reath who would rather be a scholar among the archives of the Jedi temple than an adventurer out in space but who has been called to a mission on the fringe of the galaxy. He is joined by Orla and Cohmac, two Jedi haunted by a mission gone wrong 25 years in the past, and Dez a former padawan of Reath's same master.
They team up with a found family crew of a ship called The Vessel, members of a shipping guild involved in some shady dealings. Leox is the spice-smoking hippie of a captain, Affie is the adoptive daughter of the head of the guild, and Geode is an alien that looks and acts so much like a sentient rock that i spent most of the book debating whether or not he was just a plain unsentient rock after all.
I appreciate that the author threw in a quick moment of asexual representation when Leox expresses his lack of interest in procreation or any of the acts associated with it.
The Jedi and the crew get stranded on an ancient space station during a hyperspace emergency and must assist other stranded travelers while dealing with the fact that the station may not be as abandoned as it seems .
