Rating: 3 [ Mace Windu In Action ]
This is an unusual way to introduce two new Jedi into the world of Star Wars. Jedi Quinlan Voss knows as much about himself as readers do when this tale begins. Not only is his memory gone he also has lost his apprentice Aayla Secura, and along with his lightsaber is not prepared to deal with any challenge. As the story opens he is about to be toasted on the infamous planet of Nal Hutta.

I don't know if these two Jedi are to play a role in either upcoming film, if they are it may explain why two characters from nowhere suddenly appear and are required to cover enormous ground in a very short time. We are asked to follow him as he begins by not knowing what a Jedi is, to regaining his skills, visiting his home world, and the home world of the infamous Bib Fortuna, while he has as an escort a Devaronian that only a Hutt could love.

The best part of this hurried piece is a visit to Bib's home world that I don't believe has been illustrated before. The planet has also become home to some familiar beings from Kessel, that add yet another dimension to keep track of. If all of this was not enough, when Quinlan is approached by Mace Windu he chooses to ignite his lightsaber instead of chatting. Master Mace did not get to be second only to Yoda by not being able to deal with disoriented Jedi. This event is one of the more reasonable bits of the tale, and also one of the shortest.

Introducing two new Jedi who both are without any memory of who and what they are is a bit much for this format. It's certainly easier to tell the tale this way as the reader has no back story to reference as the Jedi find their way back. For fans that like everything, add this to the list, but generally this is not among the better collections.
