[Betrayal] blasts off a new string of adventures starring beloved Star Wars familiars . . . this new installment should please Star Wars fans. Publishers Weekly
Honor and duty collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict.
When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives it s the most alarming evidence yet that political unrest is threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire.
Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations. Meanwhile Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader. If Luke s visions come to pass, they will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master . . . and to the galaxy.

Chapter OneCoruscant
He doesn t exist. With those words, spoken without any conscious thought or effort on his part, Luke Skywalker sat upright in bed and looked around at the dimly illuminated chamber.
There wasn t much to see. Members of the Jedi order, even Masters such as Luke, didn t accumulate much personal property. Within view were chairs situated in front of unlit computer screens; a wall rack holding plasteel staves and other practice weapons; a table littered with personal effects such as datapads, notes scrawled on scraps of flimsi, datachips holding reports from various Jedi Masters, and a crude and not at all accurate sandglass statuette in Luke s image sent to him by a child from Tatooine. Inset into the stone-veneer walls were drawers holding his and Mara s limited selection of clothes. Their lightsabers were behind Luke, resting on a shelf on the headboard of their bed.
His wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, had more personal items and equipment, of course. Disguises, weapons, communications gear, falsified documents. A former spy, she had never given up the trappings of that trade, but those items weren t here. Luke wasn t sure where she kept them. She didn t bother him with such details.
Beside him, she stirred, and he glanced down at her. Her red hair, kept a medium length this season, was an unruly mess, but there was no sleepiness in her eyes when they opened. In brighter light, he knew, those eyes were an amazing green. Who doesn t exist? she asked.
I don t know. An enemy.
You dreamed about him?
He nodded. I ve had the dream a couple of times before. It s not just a dream. It s coming to me through currents in the Force. He s all wrapped up in shadows a dark hooded cloak, but more than that, shadows of light and . . . Luke shook his head, struggling for the correct word. And ignorance. And denial. And he brings great pain to the galaxy . . . and to me.
Well, if he brings pain to the galaxy, you re obviously going to

feel it.
No, to me personally, in addition to his other evil. Luke sighed and lay down again. It s too vague. And when I m awake, when I try to peer into the future to find him, I can t.
Because he doesn t exist.
That s what the dream tells me. Luke hissed in aggravation.
Could it be Raynar?
Luke considered. Raynar Thul, former Jedi Knight, presumed dead during the Yuuzhan Vong war, had been discovered a few years earlier horribly burned during the war, mentally transformed in the years since through his involvement with the insectoid Killik race. That transformation had been a malevolent one, and the Jedi order had had to deal with him. Now he languished in a well-protected cell deep within the Jedi Temple, undergoing treatment for his mental and physical afflictions.
Treatment. Treatment meant change; perhaps, in changing, Raynar was becoming something new, and Luke s presentment pointed toward the being Raynar would someday become.
Luke shook his head and pushed the possibility away. In this vision, I don t sense Raynar s alienness. Mentally, emotionally, whoever it is remains human, or near human. There s even the possiblity that it s my father.
Darth Vader.
No. Before he was Darth Vader. Or just when he was becoming Vader. Luke s gaze lost focus as he tried to recapture the dream. What little of his face I can see reminds me of the features of Anakin Skywalker as a Jedi. But his eyes . . . as I watch, they turn a molten gold or orange, transforming from Force-use and anger . . .
