Publisher's summary[]

UNTETHERED! Luke Skywalker's connection to the Force has been disrupted; one of his most powerful tools in his journey to become a Jedi is gone. He must undertake an epic quest to find what he has lost…or he, and the galaxy, will fall to darkness.

Plot summary[]

ESCAPE FROM NO-SPACE

With nothing to do but sit in their quarters
and think, Chewbacca came up with a plan to
escape using the Nihil Path engine.

The plan was brought to Captain Blythe, who
remained skeptical but offered support to help
with retrieving the Path engine from the rebels'
ship, which was being attacked by Killdroids,
putting not only the Path engine in danger but
the Jedi text as well.

In an effort to save both, Luke Skywalker
rocketed off toward the ship to fight the droids
but was caught in their clutches, having his
hand and lightsaber crushed….
