Tears of the nameless

George Mann

Book - 2024

"Over a year has passed since the fall of Starlight Beacon and the start of the Nihil occupation of Republic space, called the Occlusion Zone. Jedi Knight Reath Silas, with the help of a new friend Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo, has been hard at work trying to solve the most formidable challenge faced by both the Republic and the Jedi: how to stop the Force-draining creatures known as the Nameless. Desperate for answers, Reath consults with Azlin Rell, a fallen Jedi who tells Reath that to survive the Nameless, he should embrace his fear--something that would take him perilously close to the dark side. To add to Reath's confusion, his former master Cohmac Vitus suddenly returns to Coruscant with his own theories about the Nameless's... origins. Tentatively working as a team once more, the two embark on a quest to find the ruins of an ancient civilization that may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of the Nameless once and for all. But when Reath comes face to face with the very creatures that terrify him most, will he have to embrace his fear to survive?--Book jacket.

Review by Kirkus Book Review

In the midst of the ongoing war with the Nihil, a mysterious blight spreads across the galaxy, turning everything it touches to dust. Reath Silas carries the hopes of the Jedi Order and the entire Republic on his shoulders. Everyone is counting on his research to discover a solution to the rampant and seemingly random spread of a fatal blight. Loneliness and self-doubt war inside Reath in the absence of his old master, who abandoned the Jedi. Azlin Rell, an ancient, fallen Jedi whose life is sustained by a desperate desire for revenge, is the only one who makes Reath feel understood--but Reath knows he can't trust Azlin. Although he sees a connection between the blight and the Nameless, the Nihil's force-devouring monsters, a lack of evidence stalls his research until he reluctantly teams up with Amadeo Azzazzo, a Padawan. With the help of Amadeo's fresh, firsthand perspective on the blight, and the cryptic counsel of Azlin, Reath chases answers in ancient legends about the origins of the Nameless. The wide cast of characters casually and naturally reflects diversity throughout the galaxy, apart from the brief, clunky introduction of a transgender character. Overall, Mann strikes a satisfying balance between inner turmoil, a malicious threat, devastating stakes, and hopeful, heroic action. A suspenseful and emotionally affecting adventure.
