Star Wars: Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes Hardcover Book

Description: Star Wars: Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes Jedi Master Mace Windu travels to a dangerous, remote planet on a mission that challenges even his deadly prowess—all to fulfill Qui-Gons last request.The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinns sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windus feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated—and have not been made any simpler by death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gons unique perspective, and their shared dedication to the Force made them allies. Without Qui-Gon and his unorthodox views, Mace feels out of balance. While considering his fallen friends legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon, marked to be delivered to Mace in the event of Qui-Gons death. The message contains a last request: a plea to help the Outer Rim planet Metagos. Many years ago, a violent solar flare transformed the surface of the desert planet into a landscape of irradiated glass—as beautiful as it is dangerous. Now most of the surviving inhabitants live underground, where rival clans fight to control the planets limited resources. As a young Jedi, Qui-Gon protected the Saad farming clan from the planets less-scrupulous factions. The Saad practice the art of dream-weaving, retaining their waking minds upon sleep in order to communicate and coexist with the wild creatures around them. Qui-Gon vowed to return if they ever required his aid, but now it falls to Mace to fulfill that promise. The Saads leader, KinShan Nightbird, has begged for the Jedis help in freeing Metagos from the crime lords who threaten to eradicate her peoples way of life. Intent on carrying out Qui-Gons final wishes, Mace travels to Metagos and infiltrates the enemies of the Saad. But as the Jedi Master investigates the intricate web of adversaries and allies, Mace finds himself pushed to the boundaries of the Jedi code, with his beliefs and his relationship to the Force itself challenged.
