About this listen

The reunited Jedi prepare to strike back against the ruthless Nihil in this thrilling sequel to Star Wars: The Eye of Darkness.

For over a year, Jedi Masters Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann were kept apart by the Nihil’s Stormwall. After Avar makes a daring escape from inside the Occlusion Zone, the star-crossed Jedi are reunited. But while the physical distance between them has evaporated, their shared grief over their failure to protect the galaxy from the Nihil threat remains.

To rally the Jedi Order and the Republic, Avar and Elzar cling to their belief in serving Light and Life. Together, they lead a daring mission into Nihil space to liberate the planet of Naboo and show those trapped behind the Stormwall that the Jedi will never abandon them. Now back within close orbit of each other, the two Jedi Masters can no longer deny the bond that has always drawn them back together and made them stronger.

After finally embracing their true desires and imbued with renewed purpose, Avar and Elzar devise a plan to turn the tide of the conflict with the Nihil once and for all. Accompanied by Jedi Knights Bell Zettifar, Burryaga, and Vernestra Rwoh, the Jedi begin their hunt for Marchion Ro. But to seek out the Nihil’s dangerous leader, the Jedi will have to survive the Nameless terrors that thus far they have been powerless to stop.

One of the High Republic's Best!

I don't usually give a 5 star across the board but this one deserves it and more. Easily one of the best High Republic novels.

Amazingly written & preformed

I find my self very happy with this book. I’ve listen to all of the Star Wars books and this one is up on top. The writing is very nicely done. You feel like you’re there. It definitely could be made into a movie and when I watch it I will have been able to say did I see this. For it’s depicted so well(if you want to feel like you’re watching a movie put it to 1.35 speed. And as always a narrator can make or break a good book. Marc Thompson never disappoints he brings it to life for you. The struggle to breath the pain, everything. Worth a listen 100%

Another great novel in the series.

I really like this novel. It begins to show cracks in the Nihil armor. It also puts greater focus on the leveler

Finally taking the fight to the Nihil.

THR saga is moving along nicely. Plenty of action, intrigue, and Jedi sex. I’m itching for the day the Jedi take out Marchion Ro. Good villain. Can’t stand the guy.

Tension filled Second Act continues in the 3rd

I really didn't know what to expect but was more than pleasantly surprised. With characters already set up in other books, you jump right in with no more exposition. I wouldn't say a slow beginning....maybe mild. But that prepares you for the rest of ride. Great, unsettling ending.

The story goes on

The next installment of the High Republic era is well represented with Temptation of the Force but the emphasis on attraction and love is somewohat exaggerated and not so much Star Wars elements. The focus should have been more on the conflict and the clash between the Old Republic and the dictatorship of the Nihill. The fighting sequences are on the other hand high quality and well depicted. Mark Thompson is at his best and the sound editing best in show. The end is not so rewarding and only serves the purpose as a bridge to the last book from this great era of theJedi.
