About this listen

Jedi Master Mace Windu travels to a dangerous, remote planet on a mission that challenges even his deadly prowess—all to fulfill Qui-Gon’s last request.

The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinn’s sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu’s feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated—and have not been made any simpler by death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gon’s 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 friend’s legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon, marked to be delivered to Mace in the event of Qui-Gon’s 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 planet’s limited resources. As a young Jedi, Qui-Gon protected the Sa’ad farming clan from the planet’s less-scrupulous factions. The Sa’ad 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 Sa’ad’s leader, KinShan Nightbird, has begged for the Jedi’s help in freeing Metagos from the crime lords who threaten to eradicate her people’s way of life.

Intent on carrying out Qui-Gon’s final wishes, Mace travels to Metagos and infiltrates the enemies of the Sa’ad. 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.

Started so strong. There’s this “we are so back” moment, however about halfway through, all that momentum slides off the tracks. If you want a better Mace Windu story please look up “Shatterpoint”.

Starts strong - Finishes weak

I’m glad to get more lore about Mace Windu. It’s a good story exploring his inner conflict, making him even better to root for.

More Mace!

Was very eager for a Mace story and got this. I think it could have been better with the correct narrator. Why are they not using Marc or Jonathan. Even a bad story is good when they read it. And I am not saying it’s bad, it’s just not what I expected.

Disappointed I am

The plot was good, it was just not very interesting, and it didn’t correlate well with other Star Wars books.

Okay book

Fantastic look into the human side of mace windu. Incredible plot and character development. The audio book also was very high quality voice as well as background elements that really added to the story. Definitely check this out if you’re a mace windu fan.

Better than Shatterpoint

I was a big fan of Star Wars: Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover, back in the day (2003), which also had Mace Windu, one of the first Clone Wars novels.

I was looking forward to this new Mace Windu solo story, after 21 years and I wasn't disappointed.

Jedi Master Mace Windu travels to the dangerous, remote planet Metagos, on a mission that challenges even his deadly prowess ,all to fulfill Qui-Gon's last request. He battles the deadly enemies of the Sa'ad and makes the curiest of friends along the way.

He has to make sure to remember the Jedi Code so he doesn't fall to the Dark Side.

I highly recommend this book.

A slow start, but a really enjoyable middle and end. This book added some much needed lore and insight on the character or Mace Windu, while retaining certain details from Legends. This is my first time listening to a narration by William DeMerritt, but it has already become one of my favorite performances.

Good story, Great performance

I really liked the sound effects and music that was a edited in. make th I experience more immersive

great production

It can really take you out of a story when the voice acting is off for the main characters. That was a problem I had with a shatter point. This one was fantastic. It just seems a bit preposterous that there are so many people out there of comparable fighting ability to mace windu…. He beat Jango Fett.

Voice actor was excellent!
