Patterns of Force: Star Wars Legends (Coruscant Nights, Book III)
ByPublisher Description
After the Empire’s bloody purge of the Jedi, one lone Knight still fights for those who cannot, unaware that he’s about to be swept into a cataclysmic battle against the Master of Darkness himself.
Throughout the galaxy, a captured Jedi is a dead Jedi, even in Coruscant’s most foul subterranean slums, where Jedi Knight Jax Pavan champions the causes of the oppressed with the help of hard-nosed reporter Den Dhur and the wisecracking droid I-5YQ. But Jax is also involved in another struggle–to unlock the secrets of his father’s death and his own past.
While Jax believes that I-5YQ holds some of those answers, he never imagines that the truth could be shocking enough to catapult him to the frontlines of a plot to kill Emperor Palpatine. Worse yet, Darth Vader’s relentless search for Jax is about to end . . . in triumph.
The future looming over the valiant Jedi and his staunch pals promises to be dark and brief, because there’s no secret whatsoever about the harshest truth of all: Few indeed are those who tangle with Darth Vader . . . and live to tell the tale.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

This is the best story within this quadrology. It may be because I have fallen in love with the characters...and am able to push back on the parts that frustrates me (the change of lore, and incosistancies with other novels in the Extended Universe/Legends).
I like Jax and Laranth, I-Five, and even Den. This motley bunch of rebels...are living in a fish bowl on the planet Coruscant. They know they are being watched, and everyday...they expect the worst.
In this story, we see them come upon a young kid that is ULTRA powerful in the force, with little to NO training on how to supress the urges to use the Force. Which, is a beacon for the Inquisitors to find the kid, but also our merry band of misfits.
Loved the back and forth, and the desire to help the kid, but also knowing they were taking a HUGE gamble.
We know their ultimate goal was NOT going to work, but it is interesting how patient the Dark Side users are...instead of quashing them mercilessly (which honestly, I think is the way that it should've been done...and I'm not a Dark Side user/friend).
Overall, I loved the internal struggles that occurred in this story. It made the characters more rounded and real.
There is only one more book within this arc, and I am looking forward to reading The Last Jedi (and NO, it is not the one you're thinking about).”
