Le nouvel ordre Jedi : Point d'équilibre
by Kathy Tyers
Premier volet d'une nouvelle série dans la grande saga Star Wars intitulée " Le Nouvel Ordre Jedi ", Vecteur Prime insufflait tragédie et suspense dans les aventures de Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo et autres personnages de légende hantant la lointaine galaxie chère à George Lucas. Avec la disparition de Chewbacca le Wookie, la République pleurait la perte d'un de ses héros les plus valeureux. Elle venait de remporter une fois de plus une bataille, mais non cette guerre qui, depuis l'aube des temps, oppose perpétuellement le Bien et le Mal. Après une brève accalmie, la Nouvelle République s'apprête à affronter le nouvel assaut d'un ennemi aussi féroce qu'implacable. Le péril n'a jamais été aussi grand... Empoisonnée par des siècles d'abus technologiques, la planète Duro est devenue un enfer, abandonné depuis longtemps par ses Habitants réfugiés dans des stations spatiales placées en orbite au-dessus de leur monde gravement pollué. Quand les redoutables Yuuzhan Vong entreprennent de les exterminer, ils appellent à l'aide la Nouvelle République qui, sous l'égide de Leia Organo Solo, passe un accord avec eux : en échange d'un asile sûr, les réfugiés entreprendront le grand nettoyage de Duro pour en faire un lieu de nouveau habitable. Mais tout ne se passe pas au mieux entre les Durossiens et la Nouvelle République, sans parler des dissensions qui opposent entre eux différents groupes d'exilés. Han Solo, son fils Jacen et Droma le Ryn ne seront pas de trop pour rétablir la concorde...

Kathy Tyers was born in Long Beach, California in 1952. She was the first child of Dr. H.C. Moore, an accomplished dentist and jazz musician who had served during WWII as a test pilot, and Barbara Putnam Moore, flutist with several California orchestras. Kathy attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where she received a degree in microbiology, married, performed widely on her flute, and then became certified as a K-12 classroom teacher. After teaching primary grades for three years, she retired to start a family. Her only son took long naps and enjoyed playing alone, so in 1983 she set her electric typewriter on her kitchen table and started writing a book. Shortly after finishing the first draft, she joined a writers group, where she learned to critique and self-edit. First novel FIREBIRD was published by Bantam Spectra books in 1987, followed by FUSION FIRE, CRYSTAL WITNESS, and SHIVERING WORLD. In 1993, her Bantam Spectra editor asked if she’d like to be a Star Wars © writer. THE TRUCE AT BAKURA hit the bestseller list, and life got hectic, exciting, and generally crazy for a while. After one more novel for Bantam Spectra (ONE MIND’S EYE), Kathy took a sabbatical to deal with family issues. Targeting the Christian Booksellers Association market, she attended several writers conferences before concluding that no CBA publisher was interested in science fiction. She made three attempts to write a contemporary women’s novel, then turned back to her secret passion, which was to revive the unfinished FIREBIRD series. A year later, she connected with Steve Laube of Bethany House Publishers. Laube, a science fiction fan, was willing to take a risk on the project. Rewritten to enhance their underlying spiritual themes, FIREBIRD and FUSION FIRE reappeared in 1999 and 2000, followed in 2000 by a third Firebird novel, CROWN OF FIRE. Meanwhile, the call to write Star Wars came again, this time from Del Rey Books. NEW JEDI ORDER: BALANCE POINT was also a 2000 release. In 2001, Kathy received the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference’s Pacesetter award for her efforts in the growing Christian science fiction genre. However, during the years that followed, worsening family troubles forced another sabbatical. Another SF novel was started but shelved. Bethany House asked for a new edition of SHIVERING WORLD, which Kathy completed while working at a retail greenhouse. She has completed the Firebird series with books #4 and #5, WIND AND SHADOW and DAYSTAR. Kathy is currently working on a sequel to CRYSTAL WITNESS, tentatively (and appropriately) titled THE LONG SILENCE.
