 From the Random House Web site on Mike Stackpole's upcoming release Onslaught (Book 2 of the New Jedi Order)
 
 
 About this Book
 
 In this epic of unsurpassed action and imagination,
Michael Stackpole helps
                  to launch an exciting new era in Star WarsŪ history.
ONSLAUGHT pits
                  the battle-tested heroes of the past--Luke Skywalker, Han
Solo, and Leia
                  Organa Solo--along with the next generation of Jedi and
droids, against
                  fearsome never-before-encountered enemies from beyond the
galactic rim .
                  . .
 
 It is a perilous time for the New Republic. Just when
unity is needed most,
                  mistrust is on the rise. Even the Jedi feel the strain, as
rogue elements rebel
                  against Luke's leadership When alien invaders known as
the Yunnan Vong
                  strike without warning, the New Republic is thrown on the
defensive.
                  Merciless warriors, the Yunnan Vong glory in torture.
Their technology is as
                  strange as it is deadly. Most ominous of all, they are
impervious to the
                  Force.
 
 Now Luke must wield all the awesome powers of a Jedi
Master to defeat
                  the gravest threat since Darth Vader. As Leia and Gavin
Darklighter lead
                  desperate refugees in a fighting retreat from Yunnan Vong
forces, Mara
                  Jade, Anakin, Jacen, and Corran Horn find themselves
tested as never
                  before by a faceless, implacable foe determined to smother
the light of the
                  New Republic forever beneath a shroud of darkest evil . .
