La Guerre des Sith (La Légende des Jedi, #5)

As the New Republic takes devastating losses in the ongoing war with the scattered remnants of the Empire, the galaxy's future depends on three small children–among them the Jedi twins—born to incredible powers and perils, as an extraordinary new Star Wars saga unfolds… While the New Republic struggles to decide what to do with the deadly Sun Crusher—a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo—the renegade Imperial Admiral Daala uses her fleet of Star Destroyers to conduct guerrilla warfare on peaceful planets. And now she threatens the watery homeworld of Admiral Ackbar. But as the battle for a planet rages, an even greater danger arises at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. A brilliant student delves dangerously into the dark side of the Force and unleashes the spirit of an ancient master of the evil order that warped Darth Vader himself. Working together, they may become an enemy greater than any the New Republic has ever fought… more powerful than even a Jedi Master can face.

La bataille de Corrin, conclusion de la guerre des Machines, a mis fin au règne et même à l'existence des Machines pensantes qui ont menacé d'asservir puis de détruire l'humanité. Il en a résulté l'interdiction absolue de construire des intelligences artificielles, interdiction consignée dans la Bible catholique orange sous la forme : " Tu ne feras point de machine à l'esprit de l'homme semblable. " Allant plus loin, le mouvement butlérien, sous la conduite de Manford Torondo, a entrepris de détruire toutes les formes de technologies dangereuses, bien au-delà des seules machines pensantes.
Du coup, l'humanité subit de profondes transformations. Par passion ou par intérêt, des groupes humains vont entreprendre de se doter des capacités autrefois assurées par des machines. L'ordre des Mentats, pour sa part, créé par le Gilbertus Albans qui a été entraîné par le robot Erasmus, a choisi de son côté de s'allier au mouvement butlérien.
Un entraînement spécial, formant à la logique la plus poussée dès l'enfance, et assisté d'une drogue, permet à certains hommes - et à des hommes seulement pour ce qu'on en sait - de devenir des " ordinateurs humains ". Mais Gilbertus Albans lui-même se trouve dans une situation difficile : s'il a rejoint un temps le mouvement butlérien, il s'oppose à la politique de Manford Torondo, devenu fou, qui veut abolir toute science.
De son côté, et pour équilibrer la puissance des Mentats masculins, la mère supérieure Raquella tente de reconstruire son École des soeurs sur Wallach IX, avec l'aide de son élève la plus douée, Valya Harkonnen, qui poursuit aussi un autre but : tirer vengeance de Vorian Atreides, héros légendaire du jihad butlérien qu'elle tient pour responsable de la déchéance de sa famille. Ainsi naît le Bene Gesserit qui va se doter d'un programme secret : donner naissance, par sélection génétique, au Kwisatz Haderach qui maîtrisera tous les possibles de l'avenir.
Les trois ordres en cours de constitution, Bene Gesserit, Mentats et Navigateurs, qui ont pour but commun d'améliorer l'espèce humaine et de libérer ses potentiels insoupçonnés, vont-ils s'opposer les uns aux autres au risque de se détruire ou bien unir leurs forces pour s'opposer aux fanatiques butlériens ?
