Coruscant Nights I: Jedi Twilight

Coruscant Nights I: Jedi Twilight is the first installment of the Coruscant Nights Trilogy by Michael Reaves. It is set within one year from the end of Revenge of the Sith, and was released June 17, 2008.

These books will follow a loose trilogy, not following the same plot, but the same characters.

According to Paul Ens, Jedi Twilight will have some crossovers and references to Evasive Action: Prey, as the two were developed at the same time. Furthermore, Sue Rostoni stated that, as of April 2007, the novel was completed and edited; however, the novel was not released for another year.

Publisher's summary
With the dark ascension of the Empire, and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out, one Jedi who escaped the massacre is slated for a date with destiny&mdash;and a confrontation with Darth Vader.

''Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who miraculously survived the slaughter that followed Palpatine's ruthless Order 66. Now, deep in Coruscant's Blackpit Slums, Jax ekes out a living as a private investigator, trying to help people in need while concealing his Jedi identity and staying one step ahead of the killers out for Jedi blood. Others search for the elusive Jax too. Hard-boiled reporter Den Dhur and his buddy, the highly unorthodox droid I-5YQ, have shocking news to bring Jax&mdash;about the father he never knew.''

But when Jax learns that his old Jedi Master has been killed, leaving behind the request that Jax finish a mission critical to the resistance, Jax has no choice but to emerge from hiding&mdash;and risk detection by Darth Vader to fulfill his Master's dying wish.
